Victoria Monét Delivers Modern R&B Elegance on the Smooth Lead Single “Reach Out“
Waiting on a slow communicator just met its match in pure sonic perfection. Unveiled to the world on July 22 via Lovett Music and RCA Records, “Reach Out” serves as the shimmering lead single from Victoria Monét and her highly anticipated sophomore album Frequency of Love.
Coming as the official follow-up to her Grammy-winning masterpiece Jaguar II, the track builds directly on the momentum of her earlier release “Let Me” while setting a spectacular baseline for the full album dropping October 2.
The production caliber is astonishingly high. Uniting the visionary talents of longtime collaborators Kaytranada and D’Mile, the instrumental balances bouncy, syncopated rhythm loops with ultra-polished, organic musicality.
The resulting sound sits comfortably at the intersection of danceable groove and effortless cool.
Lyrically, the track takes a long-term partner to task for failing to make the first move, issuing a direct request for more frequent communication rather than endless waiting games.
The infectious hook captures that exact frustration, singing, “When’s the last time that you (Reach out) / Probably been for (Ever) / But I like when you (Reach out) / Don’t have me wait for (Forever).”
Her vocal delivery remains silky and pristine throughout. To elevate the track’s magnetic energy, legendary director Dave Meyers crafted a visual showcase centered around high-concept choreography.
Dressed in a striking, monochromatic all-black ensemble, the R&B star commands an army of synchronized dancers, moving through stylized sets that symbolically transport her romantic message across distant spaces.
The visual execution is brilliant. Stream “Reach Out” on all major digital platforms right now and feel the summer breeze.
Quotable Lyrics:
You live your life
And I am living mine
But I know we fantasize
How it would feel if our worlds collide tonight
‘Cause we know that every summer, miss each other
I forever wanna be your lover
I forever wanna be your love
When’s the last time that you (Reach-out)
Probably been for (Ever)
But I like when you (Reach-out)
Don’t have me wait for (Forever)
When’s the last time that you (Reach-out)
Probably been for (Ever)
But I like when you (Reach-out)
Don’t have me wait for (Forever)
When’s the last time that you—
Think it’s time that you
Think it’s time that you (I think it’s time)
Last time that you (Time I be aligned with you)
Think it’s time that you
Think it’s time that you
Last time that you
Think it’s time that you (You know it’s true)
Last time
Every summer, miss each other
I forever wanna be your lover
I forever wanna be your love
When’s the last time that you (Reach-out
Probably been for (Ever)
But I like when you (Reach-out)
Don’t have me wait for (Forever)
When’s the last time that you (Reach-out)
Probably been for (Ever)
But I like when you (Reach-out)
Don’t have me wait for (Forever)
When’s the last time that you—
It’s a rhythm, it’s a feelin’ you can’t deny
When you know that you’re supposed to be mine
It’s a rhythm, it’s a feelin’ you can’t deny
When you know that you’re supposed to be mine
It’s a rhythm, it’s a feelin’ you can’t deny (I know you’ve got so much you want to say)
When you know that you’re supposed to be mine
It’s a rhythm, it’s a feelin’ you can’t deny
When you know that you’re supposed to be mine
When’s the last time that you (Reach-out; Ooh)
Probably been for (Ever)
But I like when you (Reach-out)
Don’t have me wait for (Forever; Reach-out)
When’s the last time that you (Reach-out
Probably been for (Ever; Forever)
But I like when you (Reach-out; Ooh, hey)
Don’t have me wait for (Forever)
When’s the last time that you reach out? (Ooh, ooh)
Reach out in paradise (Reach-out)
We’ll stay on each other’s mind
When’s the last time that you (Reach-out)
When you gon’ give some time to me? (Reach-out)
When’s the last time that you (Reach-out)
