Victoria Monét is officially in her next era. The Grammy-winning R&B sensation just announced her sophomore studio album‘Frequency of Love,’set to release October 2, 2026, and came through with the lead single‘Reach Out’simultaneously. Produced by powerhouse duo Kaytranada and D’Mile, the track showcases Monét’s signature vocal confidence alongside some of the most respected producers in the game right now. The accompanying music video, directed by Dave Meyers and featuring Sean Bankhead’s jaw-dropping choreography, tells a visual story about reaching out to a long-term love interest with Monét commanding the screen in an all-black ensemble.
The timing of this announcement couldn’t be better. Monét recently scored a Number One hit on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart with‘Let Me’in June 2026, proving she’s not slowing down anytime soon. While she wraps up the European and U.K. leg of Bruno Mars’‘The Romantic’tour through July 28, including final shows at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium, she’s simultaneously building momentum for this album release.‘Frequency of Love’marks her first full-length project since‘Jaguar II,’which swept the 2024 Grammy Awards with wins for Best R&B Album, Best New Artist, and Best Engineered Album.
According to Monét, creativity comes from everywhere, including the notebook she keeps on her nightstand where she records dreams, feelings, and positive affirmations when self-doubt creeps in. That dedication to her craft is evident in every aspect of this new project. With October 2 just around the corner, anticipation is building for what this album will bring. Are you ready to see what Victoria Monét does with a full project this year?
