‘Life’ which is preceded by singles ‘It All Belongs To Me (w. Brandy)’ and ‘Until It’s Gone’, hits stores via RCA on April 10th. Will you be buying…
Your thoughts?
Sorry, They are all boring and none caught my attention. Monica is singing the same styles the same songs from since 17000000. This is getting boring monica. Change your style, change your singing arrangements, the production is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Jasmine surv. should have sung cry instead. The snippets were long enought to say, I am not ready to sleep and i don’t want to hear them on the radio. Monica what happen??????
I love them, but true is they are not nothing ground breaking lol
this sounds AMAZING… especially CRY… omg very excited for the album now 🙂
April 10th hurry and get here! Thanks for the teasers….
this is REAL music… SO promising from the snippets
The only snippet I liked was ‘Cry’ 😳
I liked ‘Still Standing’ a lot, but ‘New Life’ is not cutting it. I wish her luck, though 🙂
I LOOOOVEE IT….DOESN’T SOUND LIKE SHE’S TRYING TOO HARD…JUST PURE R&B….YEESS…MY 90’S GIRLS ARE COMING FOR THEY TRACKS!!
Monica is bringing the heat. Love how her voice is different on each track showing versatility. These r only snippets & i’m loving it! April 10th…hurry up please.
It’s so sad that brandy fans r the first to post negativity about monica(same vile stuff they put bsource). any who I love all the clips especially in 3D.
@AJM265 i am a huge Brandy fan and i support Monica also so it’s not all Brandy fans… i have my New Life deluxe cd pre-ordered for weeks 🙂
I don’t know why she calls this “New Life” when it’s the same stuff she’s been doing for years. This damn near put me to sleep
3D is sooooooo beautiful i think as of right now…my favorite (the vocals, the message, its just giving me Monica standing with a mic and a s*** @ss dress with lights, coming down as she breaks it down…(i can dream)
Cry-her smooth vocals and control is killing this song, Man who has everything ughhhh i cant deal, she is killing it and the beat is hot!!!! Daddy’s good girl….the G.O.O.D part….where is my wig?? She snatched! Breathe is really nice too, love how she tried something different…COME ON NEW LIFE!!!! 4-10!!
She covered Jazmine Sullivan’s – Cry. Big mistake!! Doesn’t come close to the original. Jazmine and Missy song ‘until I’m gone’ stand out for me, nothing else!
I LOVE MONICA BUT THIS ALBUM SOUNDS LIKE A FLOP RICO LOVE CANT WORK WITH EVERY ARTIST
@SENTFROMUPABOVE
i should say the brandy “Starz” its ridiculous i mean its 14 years later let that go…. glad to see all brandy fans are not immature
I like Monica and I wish her well with the project but this is boring! I need to hear these in full tho to really give my full judgement
My LEAST favorite are the Rico Love songs.
“Cry” is the best so far. Interested to see what else on on the album.
I Loove All the 5 Track & whoever says its boring MUST BE BRANDY STANS, smh, PATHETIC indeed ! Those bad comment WILL NOT STOP PPL FROM BUYING LOL…
I Know this album will succeed & do well , plus this sound/production is different for Monica ! & thank god there is no Missy on here..

CANT WAIT!!!! NEW LIFE BABY!!! Shes trying new sounds and im loving!! ROLL ON APRIL 10TH
love the snippets. esp cry. some ppl may say jasmine did better. but monicas voice is so easy to listen to.
I will be buying….most of you are probably young, don’ t know real R&B.
yeah real rnb is coming
Man who has Everything my fav
YESSSSSSSSSSSS I will be buying it. People “Kill” me with the “boring” comments. Unfortunately thats what MANY REAL R&B artists get labeled as…. Me, I don’t see it that way AT ALL….
BRING IT ON MONICA…
APRIL 10th!
Got 2 copies pre-ordered
Gonna go to BEST BUY and get on the 10th as well.
The cd is called New Life not New music to those who are saying it’s nothing different! Where has Monica had a reggae influenced track previously though??? Different strokes for different folks. Flopped albums have nothing to do with quality usually, its more about popularity and the quanity of people buying can consider it a flop. A lot of albums do well and yet the quality over all sucks. You will either like the songs or you wont which is all personally preference. If you dont like it you aren’t a fan 9 times out of 10 but the Doves still pray for you and love you! Monica’s New Life in stores April 9th/10th depending on your country. Go to Monica.com iTunes, Amazon.com, Walmart.com and pre order thee r&b album of the year,lol. (Don’t be mad) #TEAMMONICA #TEAMNEWLIFE #TEAMR&B #TEAMALLARTISTS #TEAMBRIDGETHEGAP
What makes you think that people who arent feeling the snips, Brandy fans? That’s an easy way to get a fan war started. No shade…the album sounds dry as her hair on the deluxe cover.
You all are. Keep saying the same thing on every blog. Mo will be fine. Hope your girl coming 3 flop albums can say the same.
New Life 4-10.
Monica PLEASE throw in some dance tracks for these young f*** so they can stop complaining about being bored….
Well “Man who has everything” sounds real nice with some vocal techniques in there. Sounds excellent live also from the clip i saw
Cry & 3D i also liked.
I liked all the snippets except for Catch Me & 3D is my fav…I will be buying the cd!!! 🙂
I’m glad Monica is not catering this Euro-pop hungry fools!!! Dance music, ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Kiss teet!!! Ain’t you the same people complaining that Brandy wasn’t R&B enough from the last album?? I swear people are really retarded for real!!! MONICA IS AN R&B ARTIST- SHE DOESN’T DO POP!!! Monica been out since 1995, did she ever do a dance pop euro music?? NO!!! SHUT IT!!! I guess the people on here saying Monica is boring have no sense of musical substance in there ears, SMH!!! I suggest to go back and listen to meaningless Rihanna and Nicki who make b******* unlogical, lack of substance kind of music, SMH!!!
I didn’t have to hear the snippets and know the album is quality music point blank. Monica sings, doesn’t have to take off her clothes, doesn’t have to look like a Barbie clown to sell records. Brandy also, I don’t have to listen to snippets and know the album is quality music. You Brandy fans are embarrassing going against Monica fans and vice versa, I’M BUYING BOTH ALBUMS BECAUSE I’M A FAN OF BOTH SINGERS FOR 17 YEARS!!! NEW LIFE IN ONE WEEK, BRANDY JUNE 2012!!! REAL MUSIC ARTISTS POINT BLANK!!!
i love Monica and I want her to succeed! But she needs to work with better people IMO. I commend her for working with different people besides Missy, but Rico love lyrics are childish for her audience! She need to work with B.C**, Missy, Jermaine Dupree, Ryan Teddar, Dianne Warren, Chuck Harmony, Oak, Sean Garrett, Ne-Yo, Dark child, Harvey Mason, Tank & The Underdogs. It seems like she didnt have much control over New Life, because she said its all of HER experiences, but she didnt write much! I love me some Monica but she gotta come harder to go farther! This need ALL the promo in the world because she doesnt have a #1 let alone a top #20 on RNB like Still Standing did.
I hope that the rest of the album is HOTT and Im still getting my copy!
If you don’t like these songs, then perhaps Monica is not the artist you need to be listening to. I get so sick and tired of people thinking stuff is BORING if it’s not this ol’ trashy garbage that’s polluting music these days. People’s taste in music has changed so drastically over the years and if ANYONE would’ve told me back in the 90’s that people like Rihanna and a song like “cake cake cake cake cake cake” would be the IT thing…I would’ve never believed them. I don’t like her, that song, or 99% of what is out today. So again, if you lookin for something upbeat, cliche, and meant to make you move then, YOU move on because Monica ain’t where it’s at.
Plus, she deserves people who will be on her team for HER and who won’t be fickle because of the material. I could see if the music she sings was trash, but Monica puts out quality stuff. Go away and give other people who appreciate Monica and good quality music more room to enjoy. I LOVE every single sample I heard especially Cry!! I’m ready! NEW LIFE April 10!!
I can see what people mean about it being “boring”. I feel there may be something lacking, but I bet the other tracks will make up for it. Monica will always be a good artist in my eyes.
THIS IS BORING AND WILL FLOP.
I feel like this album was rushed…I know she has released better , STRONGER music…Monica, you can do better than this…at least I hope so…These songs are OK, but…it stops there. “Cry” is the standout to me…I feel like ATFY, IABTM, and UIG were better songs…Hope Monica does well…
One more thing that I’ll say…It bothers me that some of you monica fans assume Brandy fans are simply hating on her because some of them may think these snippets are “boring”. Talk about insecurity. Newsflash! Some of her own stans/fans aren’t impressed with it either! Please refrain from starting a stan war with Brandy fans, it’s not a good look for Monica, especially when her album is due in a week.
there are more snippets on Monicasoul.com
Just need my deluxe album NOW!!!
NewLife
NewMusic
R&B
i’ve already given a mouthful but i’ll say it again. the snippets were nothin spectacular. she has pushed this cd back for more than a few reasons. not even the collab with Bran will help this. the production is generic. her singing is watered down. coming from the best r&b singer we had in her age bracket, shes lost her drive for singing. but i’ve seen this before. good to get married and begin a new life but don’t put ur god given talent on the backburner cause u’re comfortable right now.
