Muni Long today releases the vinyl configuration of Public Displays Of Affection, her landmark EP of 2021, including “Hrs And Hrs,” Muni’s RIAA platinum #1 urban and rhythmic global smash.
The breakthrough R&B superstar has been tapped by both Billboard and HITS as a serious contender for Grammy®’s Best New Artist Of The Year.
Muni’s full-length debut, Public Displays of Affection: The Album, was released on September 23rd. The 18-track album fulfills the wishes of fans everywhere as it compiles all eight tracks from Public Displays Of Affection.
Plus the 5 tracks from the follow-up EP Public Displays Of Affection Too – her Def Jam label debut released in July 2022, featuring “Pain,” “Another,” and the summertime anthem “Baby Boo” (featuring Saweetie); plus six new tracks.
Muni’s Public Displays Of Affection project is a soundtrack of intimacy that mimics the ebbs and flows of a relationship, dipping and diving between moods and sounds.
“The reason Public Displays of Affection worked is because love was absent in R&B,” Muni explains.
The most streamed and buzzworthy artist in R&B today, Muni has exploded since the success of “Hrs And Hrs.” In addition to netting over 200 million streams and peaking at #1 at Urban & Rhythmic radio, the track rose to Top 5 at Apple Music, and hit #17 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Tastemakers are still astonished over Muni’s triumphant performance of “Hrs And Hrs” at the 2022 BET Awards in Los Angeles in June.
Underscoring her BET Awards success, Muni was MTV’s featured Global PUSH Artist for the month of June. In addition to two inspired new performances of her hits for the coveted global program, she joined MTV Push to talk about emerging from behind the scenes of the industry, her breakthrough PDOA, and how her best songs are written.
Muni was named to iHeart Radio’s ‘On The Verge’ program; BET Amplified, YouTube’s Artist On The Rise, Spotify Frequency Artist, Snapchat Artist to Watch, and Amazon Breakthrough Artist of the Month. Muni was also the subject of an in-depth profile for ABC News’ Nightline and GMA3. She also performed “Hrs And Hrs” on NBC’s The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
