Fans who have followed Victoria Monét since her songwriting days for artists like Ariana Grande, Chloe x Halle, and BLACKPINK, as well as her EP series 'Nightmares & Lullabies' and 'Life After Love' in 2014 and 2018, continue to support her journey. However, Monét's viral "Some Cut" dance challenge this spring has also introduced her, showcasing her multi-talented prowess to new audiences. The former professional dancer turned singer-songwriter has embraced this full circle moment, incorporating it into recent performances.
Reflecting on the dance challenge, which features a sample from the 2004 Trillville song of the same name, Monét shares with Teen Vogue over Zoom, "To be able to have fun dancing and seeing everyone that I know ask me to teach them the moves, it was a really good time. One of my friends called me and told me they heard 'Some Cut' on the radio, so I feel like because of the challenge, it gave the song another life as well.
