Monica dropped jaws Friday (June 30) by releasing her new single, ‘Letters,’ with little warning.
Co-penned by fellow GRAMMY winner Ciara, the tune – reportedly among the gems set to line her long-awaited ninth studio album ‘Trenches‘ – tells the tale of missing the love of a man serving a prison sentence – a tale many know is close to Mo’s personal story.
“Тhеу ѕее уоu аnd ѕее а thug / І ѕее уоu аnd ѕее mу lоvе / Yоu rоll uр thеу runnіng ѕсаrеd / Вut mе І’m runnіng tо уоu wіth mу fеаrѕ / Аіn’t fоund nо оnе thаt саn mеаѕurе uр tо уоu,” she croons on the Tasha Catour-produced cut.
Just hours after she began raking in critical acclaim for the new cut, the songstress lifted the lid on its official accompanying music video starring Rap superstar The Game.
Conceptually reminiscent of her 2004 smash hit ‘U Should’ve Known Better’ (starring rapper Young Buck), see the cinematic ‘Letters’ visual inside.
