New York, NY (Top40 Charts) In 2024, Muni Long has already climbed the charts, ignited the culture, gone platinum once again, and indisputably delivered the hottest R&B song of the year with "Made For Me." Now, the superwoman of R&B is set to deliver what promises to be the "R&B Album of the Year" in the form of her second full-length LP, Revenge, out August 30, 2024 via Def Jam Recordings/Universal Music.
The GRAMMY Award-winning superstar heralds this highly-anticipated body of work with a heartfelt and hypnotic new single entitled "Ruined Me" out now.
A heavy bass thump anchors the track. Piano glimmers over the beat, and strings accent her dynamic delivery. Emotion practically overflows on the verses until a climactic chorus takes hold with a confession, "After you, I know that I'll never love again. Baby, you ruined me." She infuses the track with raw feeling through her razor-sharp pen and a powerhouse vocals reminding you that even though they tried to ruin her, success is the best revenge.
It lands in the wake of "Make Me Forget." Earning widespread critical acclaim, VIBE applauded, "One thing about Muni Long? She's going to make a ballad that stirs up something in your soul," HotNewHipHop attested, "It seems Muni can really hit every note, both literally and figuratively." Climbing the charts, the song cracked the Top 10 of Billboard's Adult R&B Airplay Chart.
About the upcoming album, Muni stated, "The record is definitely my story. I'm focusing on my journey, elevating, and growing as an artist. It's so much deeper than simply writing songs. It's therapeutic for me to get all my thoughts out. I've been working towards this moment for 17 years. I'm stronger than I've ever been. I'm focused on healing and leaving a brightness wherever I go. From my perspective, I think I did a really great job of expressing how I feel in the music. It's like one big diary entry."
Muni Long has entered her Revenge era and nothing makes it sweeter than success!
Earlier this year, she recharged her platinum-certified hit "Made For Me" by dropping a powerhouse remix featuring Mariah Carey and delivered a show-stopping performance on the Season Finale of NBC's The Voice.
"Made For Me" cracked the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 7 weeks at #1 on the R&B Radio Airplay Chart and catapulted to #1 on Apple's R&B Chart and #2 on the Apple Music All Genres Chart. The music video has also nearly 40 million YouTube views.
Produced by the legendary Jermaine Dupri, Bryan Michael Cox and Jordan XL, "Made For Me" followed in the footsteps of mega hit "Hrs & Hrs" and vaulted to #1 at R&B Radio solidifying her staying power at the top of the charts.
Muni Long sounds like a woman reborn. With confidence, charisma, and clarity, she casts doubts aside, ignores adversity, breaks rules, writes without compromise, and sings like her next breath depends on it. She has delivered multiple #1 hits in succession, picked up a GRAMMY® Award, gathered billions of streams, and shined with rapturous performances on television, at marquee festivals, and beyond. She most definitely grinded to seize the moment. Leaving her imprint on popular culture from behind-the-scenes as an in-demand songwriter, she stepped into the spotlight with the 2021 breakout "Hrs & Hrs." It marked her first Billboard Hot 100 smash, reached platinum status, attracted Usher for a blockbuster Official Remix, scored a GRAMMY® Award in the category of "Best R&B Performance," and adorned her first full-length LP, Public Displays of Affection: The Album. Inciting widespread tastemaker applause, Variety hailed the latter as "a remarkably seasoned and strong debut." Among a myriad of honours, she garnered the Ashford & Simpson Songwriter's Award in addition to "Best New R&B Artist" at the 2023 iHeartRadio Awards. Plus, she ignited the stage at the BET Awards and BET Soul TrainMusic Awards with seismic performances. Rather than rest on her laurels, Muni parlayed her unprecedented momentum into more music. In 2024, she levelled up with "Made For Me," returning to the Top 30 of the Hot 100, shaking up social media, and toppling R&B Radio at #1. However, it only hinted at the scope of her vision. The R&B superstar singer, songwriter, and performer continues to push herself harder on her 2024 second full-length offering coming soon.
