Victoria Monet has announced that she’ll be releasing her long-awaited debut studio album, Jaguar II, on Friday, August 25, 2023. In addition to the album’s release, the singer also revealed that she’ll be embarking on a tour to promote the project, later this year. Tickets will be going on sale Friday morning.
“Where the Jaguar goes: can’t wait to see you there!! Tickets go on sale THIS FRIDAY at 10 AM local time (wherever you are)!!!” Monet wrote on Instagram, Monday. She’ll be stopping in NYC, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, and more cities.
As for the new music, Monet discussed her headspace while working on the project with Ebro Darden on Apple Music 1. “I was really having a hard time,” she admitted earlier this year. “I had postpartum depression, I was still breastfeeding, just adjusting to the life, but also in the midst of COVID. So we’re in a pandemic, everything’s a little bit risky, scary to even be in the studio with a child. And ‘On My Mama’ was the first record I did that I actually liked. But it came while I was in a place of disbelief in what I was actually saying. So it’s almost like I had to speak it into existence.” Check out the dates for Monet’s tour below and be on the lookout for her debut album in August.
