right According to Billboard.com, Monica says her new musical mosaic will be even more in-depth than her 2003 effort, After the Storm, which included a song about the suicide of her boyfriend. "After the Storm was really a reflection of being in the midst of figuring things out," says Monica. "But now it's a lot easier. Here it is almost six years later -- and that's a big difference for a woman. I've been able to put a lot more in perspective this time around."
Aiming for a more refined, poetic vibe on this album, Monica proves that she is no longer just a girl fighting over boys with Brandy. Though she opens up with a familiar beat that is already club tested and dance floor approved, the singer attempts to hit all angles of the musical spectrum. "This album is really the makings of me because it talks about so many different scenarios, both good and bad, that have pretty much brought me to the point where I'm at mentally," Monica tells Billboard.com. "We found different ways to put in the last 11 years of my life and make this more of a musical diary where people can really see me in a lot of different lights for once." Can’t wait to unlock Monica’s musical diary? Sneak a peek at her website, Monica to hear her first single. BET will give fans an inside look at the making of the music video for the song, which was shot earlier this month in Atlanta.
