Victoria Monét Makes Love The Language On Frequency Of Love

Victoria Monét has spent much of her career writing about love from different angles. The excitement of wanting someone. The uncertainty that comes with losing them. The confidence of knowing what you deserve.

On Frequency Of Love, she brings all of those feelings into the same room.

Released October 2, 2026, the 22 track album is Monét’s second full length project following the Grammy winning JAGUAR II. But rather than attempting to recreate the world that made her a household name, Monét uses her latest project to show how much has changed since then.

She sounds more comfortable with herself.

And perhaps more importantly, she sounds interested in letting love exist in all of its forms.

Love Is Bigger Than Romance

The title Frequency Of Love immediately suggests a record centred around romance, and there is certainly plenty of it.

Tracks such as “I Want You”, “Head To Toe”, “Juicy” and “Let Me” explore attraction and intimacy with the confidence that has become part of Monét’s musical identity.

But the album doesn’t stop at romantic love.

“ You Mean The World To Me”, featuring Leon Thomas and a brief appearance from Monét’s daughter Hazel, shifts the emotional centre of the project. Suddenly, love isn’t about chemistry or desire. It becomes something deeper, more permanent and much harder to define.

That contrast is important.

Monét is not presenting love as one feeling. She is showing how it can move between desire, family, vulnerability, disappointment, self preservation and devotion.

A New Frequency

Musically, Monét refuses to stay in one place.

There is the smooth R&B that listeners have come to expect from her, but the album stretches beyond it. “Reach Out”, produced with KAYTRANADA, brings a dance driven energy, while “Lose Myself” featuring Chlöe moves toward house.

“That’s Why I Love You” with Bruno Mars takes another turn, drawing from the romantic warmth of classic bolero pop. Elsewhere, “See You In My Dreams” places Monét alongside SZA for a hazy conversation about the person who still occupies your thoughts long after the possibility of a relationship has passed.

The result is an album that feels connected to R&B without being restricted by it.

Monét is clearly listening backwards while creating forwards.

There are touches of the music that shaped her, including references to the sounds of Brandy, Kenny Lattimore and other classic R&B and soul records, but she doesn’t simply recreate them. She folds those influences into a world that belongs to her.

Victoria Monét Is Still Curious

One of the most interesting things about Frequency Of Love is how little it feels like Monét is trying to prove.

After the enormous success of JAGUAR II, there could have been pressure to make another version of that album. Instead, she takes risks.

There are 22 tracks. There are interludes. There are unexpected collaborations. There are moments built for the bedroom, moments built for the dancefloor and moments that feel much more personal.

Even the album’s structure gives the listener room to breathe, moving between songs through short interludes that create the feeling of tuning into different stations on the same frequency.

It makes the album feel less like a collection of singles and more like a world.

From “Let Me” To “Reach Out”

Before the album arrived, Monét had already given listeners several pieces of the picture.

“Let Me” introduced a more intimate side of the project, while “Reach Out” brought KAYTRANADA back into her orbit for something more rhythmic and immediate.

Then came “Juicy”, another reminder that Monét has no interest in keeping her music predictable.

Each release revealed a different part of what Frequency Of Love would become.

Together, they make sense now.

The album isn’t built around one sound or one emotion. It moves the way relationships do. Sometimes slowly. Sometimes intensely. Sometimes unexpectedly.

The Woman Behind The Music

There is also something significant about where Monét is in her life while making this record.

Since JAGUAR II, her world has expanded beyond music. She became a mother, released a children’s book, completed culinary school and continued developing herself outside of the expectations placed on her as an artist.

That growth can be felt throughout Frequency Of Love.

This isn’t an artist desperately searching for an identity.

It sounds like an artist who has already found herself and is now interested in discovering what else she can become.

A Love Letter Without One Definition

Victoria Monét has always understood that R&B can hold complicated emotions.

Frequency Of Love takes that idea further.

It can be sensual without being shallow. Vulnerable without becoming fragile. Nostalgic without living in the past.

Most importantly, Monét gives herself permission to explore.

There is romance here. There is sex. There is motherhood. There is self reflection. There is dancing. There is heartbreak. There is joy.

And somewhere between all of those feelings is the real meaning of Frequency Of Love.

Love isn’t one sound.

It’s a frequency, and Victoria Monét is listening to all of it.
