Monica released the artwork for her new album Code Red and released the track listing.
Code Red features many key players including Missy Elliott, who recently returned to rapping with new song WTF, Akon, Lil Wayne and Timbaland. Fans who preorder the album now will receive an instant download of single “Just Right For Me” ft. Lil Wayne as well as the title track.
“Just Right For Me” is a modernized version of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles’ classic “Much Better Off.” The song binds together both the soul and R&B from the ’90s. The album also explores hard hitting, high energy anthem, notably “Code Red” ft. Missy Elliott.
Monica said in the statement regarding the new cover saying that, “As we move closer to its release, this cover speaks volumes as to how I feel. Empowered. Motivated. Dedicated. I’m fully immersed in this necessary movement for R&B Music. There’s no greater feeling than doing what you love with authenticity.”
