Victoria Monét is gearing up for one of the biggest R&B releases of fall 2026. Her second album,‘Frequency of Love,’arrives October 2nd with 22 tracks that promise to showcase her evolution as an artist. To mark the announcement, she released‘Reach Out,’a sensual new single produced by the acclaimed duo Kaytranada and D’Mile. The track explores themes of rekindling romance with an ex-lover, delivering that smooth R&B sound that’s been keeping listeners hooked all year.
The visual component is equally impressive. Directed by Dave Meyers and choreographed by Sean Bankhead, the‘Reach Out’music video pulls directly from classic’90s R&B aesthetics. If you grew up loving Mary J. Blige and Janet Jackson’s visual language, this one’s for you. The throwback energy paired with modern production creates something that feels both nostalgic and current. The album cover, featuring Victoria in a bold artistic statement with nude imagery and layered gold accessories, signals that this project has serious creative intent behind it.
Timing-wise, Victoria’s positioned perfectly for this rollout. Her previous single‘Let Me’topped the Adult R&B Airplay chart in June, proving her commercial viability with audiences. She’s also maintaining visibility by touring Europe with Bruno Mars, keeping her in the cultural conversation as she builds momentum toward October. With high-profile collaborators and a substantial track list,‘Frequency of Love’looks like the kind of album that could define fall music conversations. Are you planning to stream it on day one?
