Victoria Monét returns with Frequency of Love on Oct. 2, marking her first full-length studio project since Jaguar II in 2023. The 22-track album includes collaborations with Bruno Mars, SZA, Bryson Tiller, Leon Thomas and Chlöe Bailey.
The project follows a three-year gap between full-length releases. Monét has described the time away as an opportunity to let new experiences shape her songwriting and has embraced the idea of the album marking a return.
Several songs arrived before the full project. “Reach Out” incorporates house influences, while “Juicy” draws from yacht R&B. The slower R&B track “Let Me” reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart ahead of the album.
Monét’s dating experiences influenced parts of the record, but its themes extend beyond romantic relationships. She has also drawn from motherhood, her relationship with her daughter and her perspective on the world around her.
‘Frequency of Love’ Follows Grammy-Winning ‘Jaguar II’
Frequency of Love follows Jaguar II, the album at the center of Monét’s breakthrough Grammy run in 2024. That period brought her wider recognition after years of work as both a songwriter and recording artist.
The increased attention also changed the expectations surrounding her next project. Monét has discussed adjusting to greater scrutiny after moving from an underdog position to a more prominent place in R&B.
The years between albums gave her room to pursue interests outside her own recordings. She continued songwriting while developing interests in television, film and culinary arts.
Before becoming widely known for her solo work, Monét wrote songs for artists including Ariana Grande, BLACKPINK, Chlöe x Halle and Selena Gomez. Grande has continued her own recording run, with Ariana Grande’s latest album reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2026.
Monét has said she remains interested in songwriting collaborations, including opportunities to work with artists listeners might not immediately associate with her musical style.
She has also expanded her interests beyond entertainment. Monét graduated from the Institute of Culinary Education as its top student, adding formal culinary training to the creative pursuits she explored between albums.
Bruno Mars and SZA Join the Album’s Collaborators
Bruno Mars and SZA are among the featured artists on Frequency of Love. Bryson Tiller, Leon Thomas and Chlöe Bailey also contribute to the 22-track project.
Monét already shares a professional connection with Mars through her appearances as a special guest during the European portion of his The Romantic tour. Their collaboration on the album extends that connection from live performances into recorded music.
SZA joins a guest list that also reflects Monét’s ties to contemporary R&B. The range of featured artists gives the album several collaborative moments while keeping Monét at the center of the project.
The album was executive produced by Camper and incorporates references to earlier R&B recordings throughout its tracklist.
“Almost,” for example, references Brandy’s “Almost Doesn’t Count,” while “For You” reimagines Kenny Lattimore’s romantic ballad. “Care for Somebody (Interlude)” draws from a song Monét first encountered as a child while watching Introducing Dorothy Dandridge with her grandmother.
Those references connect the album’s new material with music that shaped Monét earlier in life while supporting its broader themes of love, memory and personal experience.
Monét Draws From Love, Motherhood and Personal Experience
Dating experiences informed portions of Frequency of Love, but Monét approaches love from several perspectives across the album. Her relationship with her daughter and her feelings about the world around her also contribute to its themes.
The album’s title reflects that wider interpretation. Romantic relationships remain part of the material, but motherhood, self-reflection and different forms of emotional connection broaden its scope.
Monét also drew inspiration from Michael Jackson’s creative development between Off the Wall and Thriller. Rather than attempting to reproduce either record, she has described the comparison as inspiration to take greater creative risks with her own work.
That approach coincided with a period of personal reassessment. Monét has discussed becoming highly critical of different areas of her life before shifting toward greater acceptance while remaining open to change.
Her culinary studies became part of that broader creative period. While preparing dishes associated with different countries, she listened to music connected with those places and brought meals to her production team during recording sessions.
Food, music and shared experiences therefore became connected parts of the process behind the album rather than entirely separate interests.
‘Frequency of Love’ Precedes Monét’s 27-City Tour
The release of Frequency of Love will be followed by a 27-city North American tour beginning in late October, bringing the new album into Monét’s live performances.
Earlier in 2026, she joined Bruno Mars as a special guest during the European portion of The Romantic Tour, performing across major European cities before preparing for her own North American run.
The upcoming tour will give Monét a dedicated live platform for Frequency of Love while also drawing from the catalog she developed before the new album.
Music remains one part of a broader set of creative interests. Monét has expressed interest in writing scripted television and film projects, including comedy, while continuing to work as a songwriter.
Her culinary training has similarly given her a pursuit outside recording and performance. Monét has described the experience as an opportunity to develop an interest that could exist independently of her professional identity.
Frequency of Love arrives at a point when those interests increasingly sit alongside her established career as a singer and songwriter. The 22-track project brings together collaborations, R&B influences and personal experiences while opening the next phase of her recording and touring schedule.
