Victoria Monét and Usher have teamed up to bring smooth ’90s R&B vibes with their latest track, “S.O.S.,” released on Tuesday, August 27.
“S.O.S.,” an acronym for “Sex on Sight,” marks the first official collaboration between Monét and Usher. The release comes just two months after Monét and Teyana Taylor paid tribute to Usher and Beyoncé’s iconic “Bad Girl” performance from the 2004 BET Awards during this year’s ceremony in June.
Monét’s new single arrives close to the one-year anniversary of her debut album Jaguar II, which was released on August 25, 2023, under Lovett Music and RCA Records. The 11-track album featured the hit song “On My Mama,” which topped the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart for two weeks and became her first solo entry on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 33.
According to Billboard Victoria said:
“From this song just being the affirmation I needed to get through postpartum, to the visual being a timeless celebration of our culture, I’m so grateful for the process and how it was received,” she wrote on Instagram celebrating the music video’s one-year anniversary earlier this month. It won video of the year and best dance performance at the 2023 Soul Train Music Awards.
The 35-year-old singer-songwriter-producer earned seven nominations at the 2023 Grammy Awards and won best new artist, best R&B album and best engineered album, non-classical.
Usher was also recently featured on 4batz‘s “act iv: fckin u again (18+).” He’s currently on his Past Present Future Tour, where he’s performing his classics from his 30-year career as well as tracks from his most recent album, Coming Home, which he coincided with his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance.
