Today, three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning and five-time 2024 BET nominated, singer/songwriter, and producer Victoria Monét releases the highly anticipated official music video for her song “Alright” via Lovett Music/RCA Records – click here to watch.  


“Alright”, produced by Kaytranada, was immediately dubbed a favorite from the moment JAGUAR II was released, receiving consistent fan requests for a visual with Monét’s level of expertise. Today, she returns with a cinematic, high glossy visual directed by the legendary Dave Meyers, taking her centerstage moment once again with choreography from “On My Mama” choreographer Sean Bankhead. While in the spotlight, she unleashes her inner jaguar as she pays homage to signature 90’s and Y2K pop culture moments from the likes of Missy Elliot, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Hype Williams’s film Belly, among others - not only through dancing, and eye popping cinematography but also through the fashion lens of notable stylist Kollin Carter. Known for splashy multi-layered music videos, Victoria visually ushers herself into the pop world with “Alright”, asserting herself with sheer feminine confidence and a no holds barred, winner’s circle attitude. The “Alright” video made its global broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop and across MTV’s global network of channels, as well as BET Soul and on the Paramount Times Square billboards.


“Alright is about liberation and freedom at its core! This video is a visual presentation of that sentiment through freedom of movement and fluidity between masculine and feminine energy. It was an honor to work alongside Dave Meyers and Sean Bankhead and this cast on this visual! What a crazy combo!! Plus, EVERY single person who had their hands on this visual was extremely passionate from inception, and we all worked really hard to bring it to life! They showed up with their A game surpassing what we all imagined. Serious teamwork! We all patiently and meticulously crafted it and are extremely excited to release it into the world! There’s no better month to release this visual than pride month, black music month and the beginning of summer 24! I can’t wait to see where dance artists and the ballroom culture take it.” - Victoria Monét

Monét set the tone for an exciting awards season to come with an incredible sweep, earning five total 2024 BET Award nominations for her debut album JAGUAR II for ‘Album of the Year,’ ‘Best Female R&B/Pop Artist,’ ‘Video of the Year,’ ‘Viewer’s Choice Award,’ & ‘BET HER.’ She also received her first Kids Choice Awards nomination this year for ‘Breakout Artist of the Year’. Monét is clearly a force to be reckoned with and her peers agree. These nominations follow Victoria’s huge wins at the 2024 Grammy Awards for ‘Best New Artist,’ ‘Best R&B Album’, and ‘Best Engineered Album, where she made history as the first Black woman to ever receive this award.

 

In addition to winning awards, Victoria has had an incredible year full of other milestones including her first #1 at Urban Radio with “On My Mama” and making her debut at Coachella. In April, Monét gave fans an unforgettable set full of choreography, amazing set design and her signature smooth vocals for her Coachella debut where she also teased the crowd about the “Alright” video coming. Monét also debuted “On My Mama” live on late night TV with a show stopping performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

 

JAGUAR II is the crowning moment on Monet’s already illustrious career and clarifies who she is and who she’s meant to be - a trend-setting star who transcends fan expectations as she continues to metamorphosize from go-to songwriter into full blown household name as an artist. The debut album from Monét doubles down on themes of being a multi-dimensional woman and marks the most formative moment in her career. Similar to the first iteration of JAGUAR, the album is executive produced by Victoria Monét, Grammy-winning producer D’Mile (Silk Sonic, H.E.R.) and music executive + manager Rachelle Jean-Louis. Featuring hit singles “Smoke” ft. Lucky Daye, “Party Girls” ft. Buju Banton, and “On My Mama”, the icing on the cake of JAGUAR II is a special appearance on “Hollywood” from Earth, Wind, & Fire and Monét’s 2 year old daughter, Hazel Monét, the youngest Grammy nominee ever. Monét has even more announcements on the horizon as she prepares for the next Jaguar era!
