With the due date for Monica‘s ‘New Life‘ LP getting closer, the performer has begun the promotional rounds for the project which all involved are hoping fares much better than her last release.
After making a guest appearance at The Wendy Williams Show and performing on ‘A Very BET Christmas‘, the songbird has now given an in depth interview on the album which we are sure will go down a treat with her ever loyal fan base.
Peep below…
There’s nothing better than when an artist is so enthused by their work that you have no choice but to listen when they discuss it.
Sure to capture the attention of anyone who had previously ignored the project’s existence, this interview succeeded in getting everyone here at TGJ stoked about how much the LP could potentially sell if its material is just as in tact as its promotional campaign.
Here’s to hoping coming months will see Team Monica take the project outside of the US and share it with the rest world a la Mary J. Blige and ‘My Life II‘.
Rihanna is the goddess of pop music!!!!!!!
I love me some Monica! I can’t wait for her new music to drop, she brought up something I’ve been thinking would be so hot! With herself, Brandy, and Keyshia Cole all dropping new albums around the same time, it would be so good if they toured together…..SpreadDaWord . Com
TGJ knows a true music singer and supports a evolving/evolved woman!
Monica “The truth reallly doesnt need any support, it eventually tells itself”
I wanted to do a stomp on that quote but my neighbour downstairs wouldnt appreciate that!

Monica is not completely sold out yet. She’s still too caught up in “self”. “Self love”. “Self worth”.”Self belief”. “Self assurance”. “Self wants”. Self this and self that. As far as I can tell, Monica (along with every other creature on earth) did not create her “self”, so what makes her the expert on any of the things I mentioned above (and she alluded to in the video). The only thing regarding ‘self’ that is innate for us as human beings is the act of being ‘selfish’. This is why God tells us that we are to ‘die to self (the flesh) daily’ (Romans 8:13). It is in Christ that we (those of us who believe) “live, move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). Therefore, our identity is in HIM and we should take “no confidence in the flesh” (Phil. 3:3). Something else Monica says that disturbs me is, “I don’t allow anyone to make me feel convicted” . What? How can you be a child of the Most High God and say something like that. We are SUPPOSED to experience conviction. The Holy Spirit convicts those who truly belong to God. What Monica should be saying is, ‘I don’t allow anyone to CONDEMN me’. That is something that no one has the right or authority to do. God is the only One who has that authority, and He doesn’t want to condemn us. We choose condemnation when we choose to reject and rebel against God. I am so sick of people thinking that they are above accountability and reproach. As if any and everything (unholy) that they choose to do is o.k. with God. How you figure? God is not o.k. with sin. He never has been and he never will be. He is Holy and Righteous. We don’t get to tell God how we’re going to be and expect Him to conform to our image. It doesn’t work that way. We are to conform to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). I don’t know what to say about these celebrities who are quick to mention their “spirituality” during an interview and in the same sentence contradict the word of God. Is Monica ever going to mention repentance in an interview? I’m sick of people (especially celebrities) throwing God’s name around. I’m sick of them using words like “judge” out of context (that word has become such a crutch for people who want to do whatever ungodly thing they want to do without anybody saying anything to them. It’s ridiculous). I’m sick of them quoting scripture out of context (‘to whom much is given, much is required’). Are you kidding me. Monica does not suffer for Christ’s sake. She’s not taking up her cross to follow Jesus when it comes to her career. She has no ministry, she records secular music. Call it spiritual all you want, but nobody is getting saved, redeemed or delivered listening to Monica’s music (let’s be real). STOP DECEIVING PEOPLE!! I really want celebrities to keep my Father’s name out of their mouth if they are not studying and abiding in the word of God for themselves. They obviously have no idea what they’re talking about, and as a result are leading people further away from God, not closer to Him. How can anyone get closer to God when they can’t see past YOU.
I would like to believe that Monica has a relationship of some kind with the Lord (although, I’m not sure whether or not she believes in Jesus Christ (God the Son), the Holy One of Israel. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her make her “calling and election sure”(2 Peter 1:10). What’s clear is that she still has a lot of growing to do and a lot of CONVICTION to experience. Until then, she should really stop lending to her ‘spirituality during interviews. Just stick to promoting your music. God doesn’t need your handouts. He has a remnant. Maybe one day soon Monica will be apart of that remnant. Maybe, once she gets over her”self”.
