Monica's Album Pushed Back...To 2009R&B songstress Monica confirmed that her forthcoming LP 'Still Standing' will be hitting stores early 2009, during a recent message to her fans. The 28 year old star cites the fact that she is still in the studio working on the record as the reason for the delay.

Speaking more on the LP, she revealed that Ne-Yo is the latest addition to the album's songwriter/producer roster, which already includes Bryan Michael Cox, Babyface and Missy Elliott. {Source}

Here's hoping 'Still Standing' is worth the wait.

Any thoughts?

Monica - 'Still Standing (ft. Ludacris)' (Full) R&B songstress Monica's latest single surfaced last week in preview form; today, owever, the full version has materialized.

Put simply, I'm really liking this one. The Bryan Michael Cox produced mid-tempo manages to serve up a hard-hitting beat which is still able to compliment Monica's vocals, while not compromising her 'sound'. Ludacris' feature works surprisingly well too. Great track.

Hit or Miss?

Monica Speaks On New AlbumR&B singer Monica recently left a voicemail on her fan-site MonicaSoul.com, dishing details on her forthcoming album 'Lessons Learned'. Slated to be released in August via J Records, the LP (which will consist of 12-14 tracks) will be preceded by a single in June/July, according to the 27 year old. As at the recording of the message, Monica confirmed she has either already worked or is in the process of working with the following producers: Babyface, Polow The Don, Bryan Michael Cox, Ne-Yo and R. Kelly. {Source}

I'm kinda surprised she returned back to work so soon, her son Romello was only born in January. Still, I can't complain; Monica oft brings 'IT' with her albums. Random tidbit: Am I the only one who really liked her last effort 'The Makings of Me?

Any thoughts?

R&B songstress Monica gave birth to her second son earlier this week. She sent the following message to her fans via SandraRose.com:

Hi, Sandra. Thank you very much for checking on us. We are all doing very well and truly thank God for our new addition. Romelo Montez Hill was born on January 8th at 2:15p.m. He weighed a healthy 5 pounds 6 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. Thank you and your readers for your love and support. Lil Rock and Romelo mean the world to me, and so do those that support us. Again, thank you and look for my new album Summer 08. God bless you!!”

Congratulations to Monica. I'm definitely looking forward to the new record.

According to our friend Sandra Rose, R&B singer Monica has recently renewed her contract with J Records and is in the process of recording a new album. The singer, who is eight months pregnant, is working with hit-makers Bryan Michael Cox, Missy Elliott and Ne-Yo on the CD. What's more, she has gone on record to confirm that the album will consist of mainly ballads and slower numbers - no more crunk/' hot for the moment' tracks this time around.

Though I liked tracks like 'Everytime The Beat Drops' etc from her last CD, it's good to know she's taking it back to the sound that made her successful to begin with.

Rumors of R&B star Monica being pregnant have been circulating for a while, however the news has been confirmed via one of our affiliates, Sandra Rose. The 'Don't Take It Personal' singer is reportedly 5 months pregnant with her second child. The father is believed to be Rodney 'Rock' Hill Jr - her long-time partner and father to her 2 year old son Lil Rock.

Though I congratulate Monica on the news, is it a bit selfish to question the timing? Having liked her last album 'The Makings of Me' and seeing it tank, I was hoping for some new material from her soon. I'm good to wait though. One small tidbit: when is Rock gonna put a ring on her finger and make it official? I mean, they've been together so long and are popping out these babies. Marriage isn't for everyone, I know that, but come on now...

Your thoughts?

R&B singer Monica is currently in the studio working on the follow-up to to her 2006 effort 'The Makings Of Me'. Speaking to Metro Weekly last month, she revealed that she is in the process of 'writing and putting songs together' for the new project. The 'So Gone' singer added that the album will be released 'far sooner than her typical three-or-more year wait between albums'.

Considering the terrible sales of 'The Makings Of Me', it makes sense for her to release another album soon. I actually liked the CD; it was the single choices and poor promotion -in my opinion- that messed up the project. I'm pretty anxious to hear what she comes up with on this new album.

Will you be checking for Monica?
