Victoria Monét is showing us what it truly means to take the old-school route in a music world that moves at breakneck speed. With Jaguar II, released on August 25, 2023, she’s proving that a well-thought-out rollout is still the way to go. From the visuals to the continued promotion of the album months after its release, Monét is giving us that classic era approach we’ve been missing. It’s not just about dropping a few singles and moving on; she’s treating this project as the masterpiece that it is, and I’m here for it.
This album was crafted with intention—from the order of the tracklist to the songwriting and production, to the perfectly chosen features. It’s clear this wasn’t just thrown together; Jaguar II feels like an artist flourishing and finding her voice. When Monét announced she’s dropping a deluxe version, I couldn't help but get excited. This is what today’s music scene has been missing: artists who create full, cohesive projects and push them to their limits, making you fall in love with every track—even the ones you didn’t think would grab you at first.
Monét’s development as an artist has been on full display, especially after her incredible performance at the 2023 BET Awards. She gave us a taste of what she’s been working on, and it’s no surprise she’s continued to gain momentum since then. She’s no stranger to accolades either—let’s not forget her Grammy wins, which solidified her as a force in both songwriting and performance. As we look forward to Jaguar II (Deluxe), it's clear Monét is only getting better, and this deluxe release feels like the perfect way to celebrate her massive success while keeping the momentum going.
On September 26, Monét gave fans even more to look forward to, sharing the tracklist for the deluxe version of Jaguar II dropping on October 4. This edition will come with 10 additional tracks, including some heavy-hitting collaborations. Songs like "Don’t Sleep" featuring Thundercat and "SOS (Sex On Sight)" with Usher are already grabbing attention. But that’s not all—we’re also getting a duet with Bryson Tiller on "We Might Even Be Falling in Love." From these features alone, it’s clear Monét is pulling out all the stops.
Here’s the full list of new tracks on Jaguar II (Deluxe) :
1. Dick At Night
2. Don't Sleep ft. Thundercat
3. SOS (Sex On Sight) ft. Usher
4. 2Sext (Interlude)
5. 1900's
6. Love Is Stronger Than Pride
7. Everybody Needs Someone
8. We Might Even Be Falling in Love (Duet with Bryson Tiller)
9. The Greatest
10. The Greatest (Lovenotes Outro)
With this deluxe album, Victoria Monét is continuing her reign and giving us more of what we need—quality music and an artist who cares about the art of the album. She’s reminding us that music is meant to be experienced fully, not just consumed quickly and discarded. I can’t wait to hear what she’s added to the project and witness her next move.
