Rap-Up.com || Monica Returns with Two New Singles

It’s been nearly 15 years since Monica first appeared on the scene with her breakthrough debut Miss Thang. After taking time off to focus on her family, the R&B veteran is coming back full force with a reality show and two new singles to satisfy hungry fans.

The 29-year-old singer will release two singles simultaneously from her sixth studio album Still Standing, a ballad called “Here I Am” and an uptempo record entitled “Nothing Like” featuring T-Pain. Both were produced by Polow Da Don.

Monica broke the news to fans on Twitter. “I’m pleased to announce we are releasing 2 singles both produced by Polow. A ballad titled ‘Here I Am’ written by Ester Dean and an uptempo also produced by Polow that features T-Pain titled ‘Nothing Like,’” she tweeted. “This was the best way to satisfy my fans of 15 yrs and the new fans that I hope to gain.”

The mother of two will take over television sets tonight when her reality show “Monica: Still Standing” debuts at 10 p.m. EST/9 p.m. CST on BET.

@malcolm, Beyonce didn’t start that you know. The first account of that I can remeber was when Nelly dropped “Flap Ya Wings” and “My Place”. Instead of just 2 singles, he dropped 2 albums!

beyonce DID NOT start the double single release trend. i’m not quite sure who did, but i know that aaliyah did it way back in 2001 with releasing “more than a woman” and “rock the boat” back to back.

i agree, beyonce stans are fuckin delusional.

I really hope this album does well for her. Her last album was hot and is very underrated IMO. I think “Everytime The Beat Drops” messed things up for her. That song was a mess.

I’m looking forward to any new material from Monica. She has a great voice. There is no reason why she should’ve been on such a long hiatus (besides her family). She shouldn’t have to try and gain a new fanbase because people should be supporting strong talent and Monica has that. Let’s hit it strong Monica.

BTW: I was just looking at “Don’t Take It Personal” on YouTube the other day. It’s so funny going back to 90s music…

I think it’s dope that she’s releasing 2 singles: an uptempo and a ballad.
