Victoria Monet Drops Reach Out Ahead of October Album Release
On July 22 2026, Victoria Monét released the infectious single “Reach Out,” a clear sign that her sophomore studio album Frequency of Love is on the horizon. The track, produced by Canadian DJ‑producer Kaytranada and American producer D’Mile, fuses tight electronic beats with Monét’s signature R&B vocal power.
The same day the single hit streaming platforms, a high‑energy music video premiered on YouTube. Director Dave Meyers, who has helmed hundreds of videos for top artists, guided the visual narrative. Monét’s performance is underscored by choreography from Sean Bankhead, whose work with Cardi B and Lil Nas X has earned him a reputation for cutting‑edge dance. The clip showcases a series of stylized sequences and fashion‑forward looks that reinforce Monét’s knack for pairing strong vocals with striking visuals.
Frequency of Love follows Monét’s 2023 debut Jaguar II, which was supported by the singles “Smoke,” “Party Girls,” “On My Mama,” and “Alright.” The debut earned her three Grammys at the 66th Annual Awards—Best New Artist, Best R&B Album, and Best Engineered Album, Non‑Classical—and peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100.
Earlier in 2026, Monét’s single “Let Me” topped the Adult R&B Airplay chart in June, underscoring robust radio support for the forthcoming LP. The new single’s performance on streaming services and radio will likely shape the promotional strategy for the October 2 release through Lovett Music and RCA Records.
Monét’s path to the spotlight began as a songwriter for high‑profile acts. She co‑wrote tracks for Ariana Grande, Nas, Travis Scott, Blackpink, Fifth Harmony, and others before launching her own recording career. Her transition to solo work culminated in Jaguar II, which combined critical acclaim with commercial success.
Kaytranada, born Louis Kevin Celestin, first made waves with mixtapes and remixes before signing with XL Recordings in 2013. He has since released Grammy‑winning albums 99.9% (2016) and Bubba (2019). D’Mile, or Dernst Emile II, has produced for Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, H.E.R., and Lucky Daye, and has earned seven Grammy nominations in 2020. Both producers are noted for blending electronic, hip‑hop, and R&B elements, a fusion that is evident on “Reach Out.”
Dave Meyers brings decades of experience directing music videos and commercials, while Sean Bankhead’s choreography has become a staple for artists seeking memorable dance moments. Their collaboration with Monét continues a partnership that has already produced striking visual moments for her.
At present, “Reach Out” is available on all major streaming services, the music video is live on YouTube, and the album’s release date and label partnership have been confirmed. No additional tour dates or promotional events have been announced.
The single’s reception will be closely watched by industry observers, as it may influence how Frequency of Love is promoted and positioned in the competitive October release window.
