Victoria Monét brings disco vibes and a ‘feel good’ sound with her new single “Experience”. Victoria and Khalid’s vocals blend seamlessly, creating smooth tones and a natural ambience. The production by SG Lewis is centred around creating an up-tempo sound with an 80’s feel. The amalgamation between the vocals and production makes this single a standout!
Victoria and Khalid mention, “To be honest, we’ve gone back and forth about releasing this song because of the disgusting and confusing state of the world…We’ve always used music as a form of escapism from troubling things. This song, through deep in subject matter, sonically simply feels joyful and celebratory. It’s important to us to highlight and celebrate Black joy and love in the middle of so much pain and trauma.”
Victoria and Khalid sing “I’m hoping that experience can get you to change,” which is fitting knowing the current and ongoing injustice in the world. Victoria and Khalid hope, "the double ended message of this song is heard: based on experience, we want change!" Victoria Monét’s lyrical and vocal ability is authentic and fresh, providing an eccentric sound and artistry. We look forward to Victoria’s forthcoming album titled Jaguar out on the 31st July.
