Victoria Monét is officially entering a new musical era.

Produced by Kaytranada and D’Mile, “Reach Out” brings together two of modern R&B’s most distinctive producers while giving Monét plenty of room to display her smooth vocals, confident delivery and undeniable sense of rhythm. The track combines catchy harmonies with a lively, dance-driven production that feels polished without losing its warmth.
Lyrically, Monét addresses a romantic interest directly, encouraging them to stop hesitating and make their intentions clear. Her performance carries an effortless confidence, balancing flirtation with a sense of control as she reminds the person at the center of the song that genuine connection requires action.
The single arrives with a visually striking music video directed by Dave Meyers, whose extensive catalog includes memorable visuals for some of music’s biggest stars. The performance-focused clip places Monét at the center of a stylish world filled with elaborate costumes, carefully designed sets and energetic choreography.
Choreographed by longtime collaborator Sean Bankhead, the visual also showcases Monét’s strength as a complete performer. She moves confidently through intricate routines alongside a group of dancers, blending elements of voguing, runway movement and classic R&B performance into a presentation that matches the song’s bold energy.
“Reach Out” follows “Let Me,” which was released earlier this year and will also appear on Frequency of Love. The song strengthened Monét’s momentum after reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart, setting the stage for the next chapter of her career.
The upcoming album serves as the follow-up to Monét’s acclaimed 2023 project, JAGUAR II. That record delivered her breakthrough hit “On My Mama” and helped establish her as one of contemporary R&B’s leading performers after years of success as a songwriter behind the scenes.
JAGUAR II also earned Monét major recognition at the Grammy Awards, where she won Best New Artist, Best R&B Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. Those victories marked a significant moment in her journey, rewarding the years she spent developing her sound while writing for artists including Ariana Grande and several other major performers.
Rather than simply repeating the formula that made JAGUAR II successful, “Reach Out” suggests that Monét is continuing to expand her musical identity. Kaytranada’s dance-focused production brings a different energy to her vocals, while D’Mile’s involvement maintains the polished R&B foundation that has played an important role throughout her catalog.
The announcement also follows an active summer for Monét, who recently brought her music to audiences across Europe. Those live appearances gave fans an early opportunity to experience the energy surrounding her new chapter before the album’s official arrival. (Pitchfork)
With its confident vocals, irresistible groove and carefully choreographed visual, “Reach Out” offers a promising preview of what listeners can expect from Frequency of Love. The single presents Monét as an artist fully in command of her creativity, combining songwriting, movement and visual storytelling into one complete performance.
Frequency of Love arrives on October 2, while “Reach Out” and its official music video are available now.
