Monica is the latest name to sit down for a game of ELLE Song Association.
The GRAMMY-winning R&B veteran is strutting towards the release of her long-awaited album ‘Trenches.’
Prior to its arrival, she used her voice to shine a light on classics from the likes of Destiny’s Child, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, and more during her appearance on the popular platform.
Watch Monica in action after the jump…
Twas fun!
We look forward to Ms. Arnold’s own new material, which we hope is incoming sooner rather than later.

FLOP
Ya Mammy
Ya mammy, ya daddy and your overweight grandmammy
In the words of my stinking a***, it’s diarrheeeeea, taking me over, I’m caught up in sorrow, lost in the stench. But if you don’t come here, and clean it up Shayla, don’t you know I’ll keep sh!tting up the bed we once shared at night, and I’ll wrap these sheets bloody red around me for comfort tight!
Yes Mo!!!!!
Did she talk about her album that was supposed to come out in January or……okay!
She might as well scrap that “Trenches” name. It’s been too long. The title track was a huge flop. This album was supposed to be released THREE YEARS AGO. Too many false starts and broken promises. I swear Monica gets in her own way. Too focused on IG photoshoots than getting her business in order.
Normally I would be at your throat for mo but u told no lies. She needs to believe in herself and her craft and trust that her music will resonate with the fans. I think with this album she just didn’t believe that she could do it alone. I also her she had a lot of deaths in her family. But I think she should’ve keep dropping stuff to hold her fans over.
It’ll flop either way, sis 🤷🏽♀️
Hopefully, her IG presence translates into interest/sales once her album drops. As an R&b artist who debuted during the the 90s, 10 million followers is a huge look. But really, the album should have followed soon after the verzuz.
It won’t. Trenches only has 6 million views on YouTube in nine months.
She doesn’t use her IG to her full advantage. Other artist flood their timeline with things they have going on. She doesn’t post infamy, mo talk, the singles or album. She may mention it on her story but other than that she uses her Ig like the rest of the world to post her kids and family. Honestly she needs to fire her cousin as her manager she has never pushed her to her full potential and by the grace of god and fans connecting with her she has been able to stay in the public eye, that and not burning bridges from the past.
@ajm265, I want to say that she could benefit from new management as well but I think Monica has always been where SHE wants to be, career wise. I’m sure she could branch out more if she wanted to.
