Victoria Monét is returning with “Frequency of Love,” a new studio project set for release Friday featuring 22 tracks. The album arrives three years after her Grammy-winning “Jaguar II” and includes collaborations with Bruno Mars and SZA, plus Bryson Tiller and Leon Thomas. Monét says she drew inspiration from Michael Jackson’s willingness to take creative risks between “Off the Wall” and “Thriller.” At the 2024 Grammys, she won best new artist, best R&B album, and best non-classical engineered album. She’s also preparing for a tour starting in late October and recently graduated as the top student from a culinary school.
