Victoria Monét Returns With a New Album Built Around Love and Connection

Three years after the release of her acclaimed album Jaguar II, Victoria Monét is beginning a new chapter with a much larger musical project centered on love, connection and personal growth.

The Grammy-winning singer released “Frequency of Love” on October 2, 2026. The project contains 22 tracks and follows the success of Jaguar II, which helped establish Monét as one of contemporary R&B’s most closely watched artists.

Rather than presenting love as a single emotion, Monét explores different forms of connection throughout the album. The songs touch on romance, family, self-confidence and the emotional changes that come with growing older.

The album arrives after several years of major changes in Monét’s career and personal life. Following the success of Jaguar II, she embarked on international tours, performed at major music events and continued developing her distinctive blend of R&B, pop and soul.

Monét has also spoken openly about balancing her career with motherhood. She has a young daughter, and family life has become an important part of how she thinks about time, creativity and the future.

That perspective appears throughout Frequency of Love. Instead of focusing only on romantic relationships, Monét uses the album to explore how people give and receive love in different parts of their lives.

The 22-song tracklist also gives her room to experiment with different sounds and tempos. The project moves between intimate R&B songs and more energetic tracks while maintaining the polished production associated with her recent work.

Monét’s rise has been gradual. Before becoming a solo star, she spent years writing songs for other performers and developing her skills behind the scenes. Her songwriting credits helped establish her in the music industry before she began receiving wider attention as a recording artist herself.

Her breakthrough as a solo performer came with Jaguar II, which earned multiple Grammy nominations and won awards at the 2024 ceremony, including Best New Artist.

With Frequency of Love, Monét is now moving beyond the period that introduced her to a much larger audience. The new album gives her an opportunity to explore what comes after a breakthrough — and how love, family and personal growth can shape an artist’s next chapter.
