After three decades in the game, millions on top of millions of records sold and being known internationally simply by her first name, it’s safe to say that Monica has become R&B royalty. But the Atlanta, Georgia singer isn’t quite ready to retire to reality television or singing competition judge status just yet.
Which brings us to the unveiling of her eighth studio album, Code Red. The album pits Monica’s singing talents with the likes of Timbaland, Lil Wayne, Akon and Missy Elliott, who the latter superstar, was heavily instrumental in the success of the 2003 comeback album, After the Storm.
“Each time I complete an album it’s a milestone that I in no way take lightly,” Monica says of her latest release. “Code Red embodies my love for true music and an art form that has touched many over the years. As we move closer to its release, this cover speaks volumes as to how I feel. Empowered. Motivated. Dedicated. I’m fully immersed in this necessary movement for R&B Music. There’s no greater feeling than doing what you love with authenticity. I give you Code Red.”
Code Red impacts the world on December 18 and is currently available for pre-order on iTunes. Additionally, a tour to support the album’s rollout is currently underway. Check the dates right here.
