When Monica’s ‘New Life‘ debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 this week with only 69K copies sold, many people assumed that it was just another indicated of the decline prominence of R&B music. Well, the singer has agreed with her fans’ assessment of the situation but offered a peculiar view regarding the matter.
Perhaps Monica should not have named her album ‘New Life’ because it is projected slow start will make the title a pun of several cruel jokes within the upcoming weeks. Really, the record may be a testament to the new era of her life but its sales simply reflect an artist past her prime.
We’ve heard the various snippets from Monica’s ‘New Life’ but now the entire album is available for streaming online. Yes, you read that correctly – all 12 songs on the standard edition of the LP have been made accessible for free.
Monica shared previews of several songs from her ‘New Life’ album yesterday and now she has issued snippets of even more tracks. This time, however, all of the records are from the standard edition of the LP, which will hit stores on April 10th.
Just ahead of the April 10th release of her ‘New Life’ album, Monica has issued a preview of five new songs from the record. Yet, are these songs stronger than the lackluster singles ‘Anything (To Find You) (Ft. Rick Ross)’ and ‘It All Belongs To Me (Ft. Brandy)’?
We received the track list of Monica’s ‘New Life’ deluxe edition earlier this week and now we have the cover of the record. Set for release on April 10th, the record includes the lead single, ‘It All Belongs To Me (Ft. Brandy)’, as well as appearances by Rick Ross and Wale.
It appears that Monica’s ‘New Life’ album won’t be delayed until 2054. Indeed, as an indication that the April 10th release date of the record has officially been secured, the R&B singer has unveiled the track list of the LP.
Brandy and Monica made waves with their new joint single, ‘All Belongs to Me’, when they debuted the Rico Love-produced track earlier this week. Now, the duo are preparing to keep the momentum going with a performance at Clive Davis’ upcoming pre-Grammy Awards gala this weekend.
Monica recently announced that her ‘New Life’ album had been delayed because of her decision to restructure the record with the guidance of RCA Records. However, the R&B singer has kept her word about keeping the project in motion by revealing its official cover and release date.
Monica may have just joined the ranks of Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke as artists who have delayed their new albums. In fact, similar to Lewis, Monica has been forced to revamp her entire ‘New Life’ LP, which may result in her postponing its originally scheduled November 29th release date.
