Exclusive new music from the R&B Diva, Monica titled “Everything”. I listened to this track 3 times and I LOVE IT! Finally, Mo is back to revive R&B!
If you think the backing track sounds familiar, it’s because “Everything” uses a sample from Deniece Williams’ soulful hit “Silly”.
Just a few minutes ago, I received word from Monica that “Everything” will be the next single off Mo’s new album, ‘Still Standing’ which is slated for a March, 2010 release! The label was planning to go with “One In A Lifetime” until they saw the reaction that “Everything” received from her fans. “The label couldn’t ignore it,” said Monica.
“People want to hear me sing,” said Mo. “They do not want to hear any gimmicks They don’t want what everybody else is doing. Ever since I was 12-years-old I’ve just been singing. That’s really all I know.”

LISTEN: Monica – Everything
It’s apparent that music runs in Monicas bloodline! Here’s a private home video of Monica singing a duet with her youngest son Romelo, who turns 2 tomorrow. Awww. Happy birthday to ‘Melo!
I love Mo’s hair……
Why did she just make me wanna a little boy again! That was adorably sweet…
TEAM MONICA!
Not “loving” the song YET…but I’m sure it’ll be in my rotation.
Mo’ my fav’s are For You I Will & That’s My Man (among MANY others)
I loved the song when I heard it on the show
Sang heffa
Silly is one of my absolute fav songs of all time btw
Although I can’t listen to the song, I am Team Monica
This is R&B….Team Monica!!!!
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that song. Team MO! Can not wait for her CD!!
The video with her son is adorable! He has a ton of personality!
LOL@Daisy
Monica is the ish, IMO
I absolutely love her TV show, my grandma even like her show!
I can’t wait for her album to drop, I won’t buy it bootleg either (thats big for me)LOL….and her kids are cuties
also team monica
and those boys are too precious!
I knew they were gonna do that! I cant be mad, Everything is a GREAT song and it instantly catches u. I just fear that it places her in an Adult Contemporary genre and I dont want that…Its my hope J Records pushes pushes this record…it is Monica at her best! Team Monica! Still Standing 2010…LETS GET IT BITTTCCCHES!!!!! JWHIT214!
I loved it on the show!!! I love the fact that she can sing and doesn’t need to be in a workout outfit to showcase it.
Her sons are sooo cute
That was soooooo cute..now I have to go and listen to the song…I’ll be back.
Love Monica and her boys are delicious… Hate that she dresses them alike though..
Team Monica. Love her hair too. I will definately buy this album, No Bootleg. Her boys are so cute. Beautiful family.
GREAT choice!!!! The game needs you Monica!!! This is your year!
After this, we need a mid-tempo as the second single and the third single needs to be “Love All Over Me”!!!
And can J Records hook Miss Sandy up with some guest passes to those listening sessions that will come about next month.
Love you MO!
And no Autotune, cuz she can sang.!
Luv those babies… the song is aiight, but I will buy the cd regardless.
Oh, and that pic is tooooooo precious! Don’t my nephews look adorable?
Her boys and Tiny’s boys resemble each other. Can’t hear the song either…yet.
Hey VI
I watch Monica’s show weekly and was quite upset that everyone thought this song should not lead the album. I love this song. And Monica you were correct when you said some of your fans were insulted when you released the lable choice of a single last time.
Let this be the first single people are tired of the same thing playing over and over. Shake, Jump, grind, move, up down ahhh yall get it.. Todays music is more geared toward men and what they want to see sex, sex and more sex. Women have more depth and the last thing I like see all the time is someone poppin they cootie cat in my face on a regular.
ohh yeah I am long winded… I hated the song birthday sex no I dont want sex for my birthday.. I want dinner, music and diamonds.. Sing about that. Music only generates for a limited time this era. And if this continues to happen Black People (cause no other race) will loose in the industry in the long run.
Thank you Monica.. Sad the zshare is not working
I like the song..but let’s be honest..It is definitely going Adult Contemp. It’s just not what’s hot right now. And it’s pretty enough to catch on, but not big enough to blow up.
Ohhhh love oh love stop making a foool of meee..I agree Starr. Silly by Deneice Williams is a timeless classic. I have to listen to Monica’s song in a few.
I love me some Monica…her voice is beautiful!!! The song is nice
glad to have you back MO!!!!
MISSMIAMI!!!! I just saw your #24 after I posted…are you talking about the BM of the man in my photos LaLa? Please tell me where you saw that at?
I’m so tired of people wanting to hear good music but when someone puts one out they say it’s not what’s hot right now. wtf. So Swagg Surfin is good music now? Like someone said we don’t want to see p in the face all the time. Or people raising their hands talkin about Where my Ring N****!! I need something I can groove too. Tamia, Indie Arie, or Jaheim won’t ever blow up with the youngins around.
@heavn_sent:
I kinda agree with you….but then I think about songs like Fallin by Alicia Keys…Nobody Suppose To Be Here, Melanie Fiona It Kills Me and I think it could work…
I will say I applaud Monica for stickin to her guns…and releasing something sooo different than whats on radio and sticking by what she believes in….I just hope this is the one.
SANDRA….ask Mo if thats the entire song cuz it CANT be! It is short as hell!!! LOL
@ Shauny 27: On that other takeout site. I’ve been seeing pics of her w/out her ring and her looking for houses. Who knows…………..Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I read Lala and melo moving to La in the off season….
But i saw lala and melo getting cutesy da otha day
As for the most I love Monica. Believe it or not I still jam to her first two cd’s (Miss Thang & The Boy is Mine). I am rooting for her
she has an AMAZING VOICE and with the right PR MAYBE she can become the Whitney of our generation because SHE HAS THE POTENTIAL.
Just my opinion
@ crzasallgetout those ppl will still have a supportive fan base *HERE I GO* © Mystikal (when he comin’ home???)
but the youngin’s are the ones who really determine what gonna be hot cause they are the largest consumer of the product. I am mid-30’s and fully engulfed in pop-culture/music/these blogs n ish…but honestly most ppl my age (that I personally know) don’t keep up with this stuff. They may hear something on the radio & like it, but I can really count on one hand the number of ppl I know (in my age bracket & older) who actually support the artist they like…CD’s come from the CD MAN…at best they go to a concert.
Hey who knows, maybe they are wrong. But again, I was hoping she smelled the
Good lord that girl sangs! She is a class act. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her have an off day.
@missmiami, LaLa is getting ready to star in a film with 50 cent, so she may be moving to where they will be filming the movie.
Young people are requesting songs but allot of them aint buyin cds….Maxwell is sellin…12 year olds arent buying his stuff. Mary J….Alicia…young people requesting these songs but they aint buyin albums..i doubt that
That was to sweet I
Mo she seems so down to earth and geniuenly sweet… it doesnt seem forced for the cameras, but we know she can get gutta if she wanted to.
@tryna
Believe it or not me and my husband came into to HERE I GO* © Mystikal for our wedding his choice. LOL.(I think he’s getting out soon)
ANyway, I’m 32 and like different types of music minus rap. Ihust hate that GOOD music doesn’t get any shine. Souja(sp) irks my nerves something bad. I hear most of the new “young” music on blogs too. I can’t tell you any new dance moves. I must be getting old.
she can become the Whitney of our generation because SHE HAS THE POTENTIAL.
******************************************************
Ion’t know about alll dat…she has the pipes for it, mos def but Whit in her heyday wasn’t being “real.” When she started being herself, that’s what led to her fall. (I know they say she was always hood…but we ain’t know that)
WHEN KEEPIN’ IT REAL GOES WRONG
Mo been real & gon be real…I def think she could compete w/ Mary…not her swagg…Mary got that on lock! (Was really surprised they let K.Cole in.) But Mo can compete w/ MJB cause she can blow her outta da water! Love MJB & she’s come a long way vocally…but let’s be real here.
@ dallas
that’s true.
Yeah the new generation dont have time for love all they do is fu*k and keep it moving. Maybe they pop out a baby or two for checks.
And I agree Monica has the potiental to fill the void Whitney left behind that this generation has yet to understand or see. For Monica she tried to stay popular and with todays music and it did not work for her at all. I believe children and adults will accept more from artist if given more.
me and my husband came into to HERE I GO* © Mystikal for our wedding his choice.
*****************************************************
:lolol: walked down the aisle or came into the reception????
Her kids are so cute
monica has the best PIPES aka vocals in the game. Not the cookie cutter image but folks can relate to her. Again, my opinion though. I’m not a PR scout or whatever
The only thing these gurls smell $$.
@ dallas214:
I TOTALLY agree with you. But the three songs you named were big..this is not. Like I said, it hold it’s on..but it’s not the kind of song that stops you in your tracks. I’m sorry, it just isn’t. I watched the show once and she was singing a song that had that “it” factor. It was a ballad, but it was big and beautiful.
@28: I speak the truth..like it or not. I do not Swag Surf and I toally blame the south for the dumbing down of hip-hop. I, myself, am a Maxwell, Jill, Raheem Devaughn, Robn Thicke, MeShelle, Fred Hammond fan. I love good music and great singing. The girl can sing..a hit this is not!
@tryna
I bought ONE cd of MJB and it was good but I just can’t get into her for some reason. She has plenty of great songs but I can’t stan for her like most folks. I like SANGERS without the added stuff. Beyonce can really sing but when she does all the runs I cringe!! Same for Fannie. Jhud has a great voice to me. Monica has ALWAYS been great to me. Even Sideline Ho. Sorry! Whitney is in a league of her own though. Pre crack pipe
OMG! They are some handsome boys!
Beautiful Family!!!
OOHH and Whitney did not fall due to her being herself she fell because she was a crackhead who got high over making music. She started insulting her fans and when she appeared on Micheal Jackson’s tribute show the world said “Hell to da Naw”.
@tryna
LMAO!! Came in at the reception. He’s not THAT hood!! Although he did want to have “F them other N” for the garter removal.smh Plus it was a church wedding.
Whitney is in a league of her own though. Pre crack pipe
that…I LOVE Whit…(haven’t heard her whole CD…not really interested). When I was in highschool (The Bodyguard years) none of my friends liked her…I just didn’t get it. 
****************************************************
@50
Can you define a hit for me please? I like Fred Hammonds too.
I blame young artist for making stupid music NOT the south. Yeah they didn’t help but it’s not just them. Where is Jim Jones from exactly?
@ crzasallgetout now that’s classic! :lolol:
Where is Jim Jones from exactly?
***********************************
I thought he was from NY???? NO?
@heavn_sent
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and i respect urs. But most people when they hear this song are like WOW! But like Monica says, everybody is not gonna like everything. I just respect her for putting out a record she is 100% about. I respect her even more for putting out a record thats UNLIKE anything on radio and takin a chance. Im kinda with the label, it is an old song. But a GREAT song.
At the end of the day, Im just happy Monica is happy and Im getting a new cd. This Monica era has been awesome. She has done a GREAT job establishing the BRAND, Still Standing. I think her cd will sell, just not sure what this song will do.
Monica is beautiful and the boys are very good handsome!!! They have the prettiest eyes!!!
Sad but true Jim Jones is from NY but he is just following a trend and was trying to sell records by starting fights everywhere he went (publicity) the problem is people don’t find rappers hot when they look a hot mess. He should have taken a bath and a shave oh yeah and maybe changed his clothes. See how quick the people started turning on LIL Wayne when he always had the cup in his hand. Bad image
Sandra I’m sooooo tired to Monica, I wish she would go away, she is NOT relevent, so stop kissing her ass all the time, and that goes for T.I., Tiny and Toya.
Sandra YOU degrade everybody else why not UNWEDDED, half drug dealer/half rapper baby daddy Monica, and plus Monica ain’t
doing NOTHING special other than that WHACK reality show.
give it a rest will ya!
@ dallas214
I LOVE Melanie Fiona “it kills me” — that girl can SANG!

whew i will be gald when she drops her cd!
@ trynabeme — I thought I was the only one that liked the last song.. Its called “teach him”… I “used” to be able to relate.. lol
@ FloridaChick813 that’s funny cause I felt the same way about being the only one to like the last song. What did you think of the rest of the CD?
What about Chrisette Michelle? I
her too, but liked the 1st CD better.
@ trynabeme —
The rest of the cd is okay.. I let it play while I clean the house.. LOL.. But “it kills me” is def. my favorite..
I LOVES Chrisette Michelle..
@mistarie-I can’t take nothing you say seriously or finish reading your comment..
I don’t like the song. It doesn’t sound age appropriate for her. I could see maybe a “Whitney” or a “Natalie Cole” singing something like that. But her boys are the cuuutest. Aww, they are just beautiful children.
@ Missy: What’s wrong?
@mistarie-that dang gravi. of yours……..
Why doesn’t Monica poto with the kids and their dad? The boys are so handsome!
Woo that Natalie from BGC is the worst!
@ missy… What? You no likey?
MESSAGE TO MONICA:
MONICA SPEAKS TO THE REAL CHICKS, LIKE ME. SO NATURALLY I WILL LISTEN. I CAN FEEL THE TOPICS B/C I BEEN THROUGH IT, I PASSED MY TEST AND NOW MY FAITH HAS BEEN RESTORED. SO OBVIOUSLY I’M DOWN CUS U JUST CANT PASS UP THE THINGS THAT SPEAK TO U AND UR LIFE. AND 4 ANOTHER STRONG BLACK WOMEN GAIN SUCCESS IS A BLESSING STRAIGHT FROM GOD. SO NEVERMIND THE NEG PPL. I’M HAPPY FOR U
i love monica i love the song #team monica
The video was sooo cute. The song is ok, but won’t be a hit if released as a single
I feel guilty even commenting. I’m so not a Monica music fan. I like a couple of her old joints, but mostly her music misses the mark for me. I don’t like this song. The track is louder than the vocals which is hella annoying and the song just isn’t arranged well for me. Her voice is beautiful as usual, but also as usual the song doesn’t work for me. Still, good luck to Monica.
Needless to say that video with the baby is ridiculously adorable. Now if she goes on a baby kissing tour I’m there.
TEAM MONICA,
U better, sing, CHICK. I knew that was going to be a hot song when they were recorded parts of it on the show. hot song fa sure.
I love the new song and can’t wait for the new CD to drop!!! I still listen to her last CD a few times a week.I know one thing I hope and pray that the song *Thirsty/SugarDaddy* makes the CD. There are a few songs I heard on the show I am looking forward to…hopefully she knew enough to include those. At this point I’m not real sure if she knows a hit when she hears one after watching the show.
Monica is always alright with me. This song is a branger, I will support. TEAM MONICA
That song is amazing. Get it Monica. Then to sample silly just makes the song that much better.
HOTNESS! When they played it on her show I was like “That is Tight.” Yo Go Monica!
Daisy Says:Sang heffa
LOL! I know that’s right; heffa in a good way Monica; you know how we do!
