JAGUAR


Victoria Monét


Even if you don’t immediately recognize the
name, you’re likely to have heard her lyrics,
as rising soul star Victoria Monét has penned
material for various artists over the years,
including Ariana Grande, Nas and Chris Brown.
JAGUAR is her debut album as a lead artist.

FIVE FACTS:



  1. Monét originally discovered her passion for
    writing music after exchanging poetry with
    a cousin.

  2. Before establishing herself as a solo star,
    Monét was briefly a member of a girl group
    called Purple Reign, but they were dropped
    from their record label and disbanded before
    releasing any music.

  3. Monét has collaborated with Ariana
    Grande on several songs, including “Better
    Days” in 2016 and “Thank U, Next” in 2018.

  4. The earliest-released single from JAGUAR
    was “Ass Like That” in late 2019, well before
    the album itself was officially announced in
    June 2020.

  5. Monét named the album after the jungle
    cat due to its tendency to lurk undetected
    before unexpectedly re-emerging, which is
    the journey that Monét’s own musical career
    has taken.
