New Video: Monica – ‘Friends’ (featuring Ty Dolla $ign)

Published: Thursday 21st Jul 2022 by Rashad

The critical acclaim that’s rushed in for Monica‘s latest single ‘Friends’ doesn’t have the R&B veteran resting on her laurels.

Not even two weeks after lifting the lid on the Ty Dolla $ign-enlisted tune (her latest release from forthcoming album ‘Trenches’), Mo has unveiled its stylish accompanying music video.

Directed by Sarah McColgan, the visual sees the GRAMMY winner taking to the California desert to perform the romantic bop – taking the spotlight while $ign and dancers separately do their things.

Look inside to see the stunning clip.

      With 1 million views in less than a week on YouTube, might I mention without a video… strictly audio.

      • RR July 22, 2022

  2. eric July 22, 2022

    I like that she’s dancing again.

  3. ajm265 July 22, 2022

    This lady ages backwards. She looks amazing.

    • DC3 FOREVER July 22, 2022

      Yes she does!

  4. Tino July 22, 2022

    I’ll never understand why all these female artist love love love featuring Ty Dolla $ign on their songs. Majority of the songs he’s featured on are always forgettable flops. I mean its not like he’s a top 5 or even 10 rapper and nobody is out here listening to Ty Dolla $ign albums. But every time you turn around some female artist have him featured on her song SMDH and sorry for the long rant lol

    • Keith July 22, 2022

      @Tino: I agree. Praying he is NOT working with Janet. He was a punchline in Insecure, IMO…

    • Mr Giggles July 22, 2022

      I must say I agree! I mean he can sing but Monica’s voice would have matched better with another vocalist. I also feel he is singing more vocal than her on the track and its her damn song!

      • Len1975 July 22, 2022

        I don’t think he can sing. He sounded horrible on here with the auto tune!!!

  5. DC3 FOREVER July 22, 2022

    She is beautiful but I hate to say her music has gotten worst. Which is disappointing because her first 3 albums are classics!

  6. Kevin July 22, 2022

    I LOVE Monica but girl wtf is this? I’m going to give it another three chances but they literally said I love you for five freaking minutes like that was the whole vérse 😑 video is nice though.

    • Mr. Giggles July 22, 2022

      @Kevin – hahahahahahahhahahhaha exactly

  7. Mr. RCW July 22, 2022

    🔥🔥🔥I really like the song, but seeing the visual is icing on the cake! The video is very reminiscent of how much videos were made when R&B ruled the charts!!! I must say I’m excited for this era of Monica!! I can’t wait to hear what else she’s been cooking up. I was excited and shocked to see her doing choreography…she did her thing! Why does it appear Monica is aging backwards…she effortlessly beautiful

  8. Laz July 22, 2022

    Song is so underwhelming

    • Keylolo July 22, 2022

      With 1 million views in less than a week on YouTube, might I mention without a video… strictly audio.

  9. RR July 22, 2022

    We don’t give a f***! Renaissance is coming purrr

  10. Keith July 22, 2022

    The video is cute. Like to see Monica in this element. This SONG is trash – no replay value. Hopefully she has enlisted either Dallas or JD/Bryan C** for the album

    • Shayla Queen™ 👑 July 22, 2022

      She can no longer afford those types of producers.

      • Monica Stan July 22, 2022

        Your broke busted ass would know all about not being able to afford something. While you sit in the local McDonald’s using up their wifi bum ass hoeee💀💀💀

      • True Tea July 22, 2022

        YAASS! Monica Fan, lol

        😂 😂 😂

  11. Pat July 22, 2022

    She sounds good. Super generic song tho

  12. Nahla July 22, 2022

    The song is Mid. It’s anticlimactic and kinda dated. We’re never get the Trenches album at this point,

  13. marilyn monh-O-E ® 👠(#1 DIVA) July 22, 2022

    Diva’s vision: it will charted bubbling under US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, screaming 😱 💅🏾 We love to see it 🤳🏽

  14. Zion July 22, 2022

    She’s done, game over

  15. Yallcit July 22, 2022

    What is this song….it sucks. Monica needs a major label behind her. Her vision for this “era” is lacking.

  16. Paulo July 22, 2022

    Love Monica and want this to be a hit but ngl I’m mad they wasted this video and collab budget on such tepid lyrics

    • Byeden July 22, 2022

      It’s not bad just an album track at best. Not like Monica is gonna push it anyway. I don’t know who’s managing her these days but whoever it is needs to step their game up. Trenches shoulda been out by now.

  17. MONICA July 22, 2022

    FLOP

  18. Kima, Kesha & Pam July 22, 2022

    It’s so weird how Brandy fans RUSH to anything pertaining to Monica and throw so much negativity! Those women are GROWN now & support each other. This is not the 90s. Let it go!

    Monica looks AMAZING in this video & this dope!

  19. Monica Stan July 22, 2022

    Video is fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
    Haters were the first to arrive as usual💀 Monica does not age!!!! 41 looking 31. 😍😍😍😍

  20. Cocobutta July 24, 2022

    She looks fantastic and the moves were cute.
    I wanted Feelings to come out but she went for the simplicity of the this and it does fit the market of 2022.

    I love the video for sure.
