Vrijdag lanceert Victoria Monet haar nieuwe single: ‘Experience’. De track is een politiek statement in deze donkere tijden. Voor ‘Experience’, wat ook een nummer van hoop wordt, roept Victoria de hulp in van Khalid. Op social media meldt Monet: “To be honest, we’ve gone back and forth about releasing this song because of the disgusting and confusing state of the world,” the statement reads. “After a lot of thinking and feeling, we decided to continue with the plan to put it out, so we want to give some context on why.
Ze vervolgt: “We’ve always used music as a form of escapism from troubling things. This song, though 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 Monet is behalve zangeres ook succesvol songwriter. Zo schreef ze o.a. ‘Thank U, next’ voor Ariana Grande.
