Victoria Monét has released a Christmas album featuring transformed instrumentals from her 2023 record, Jaguar II. On A Jaguar II Christmas: The Orchestral Arrangements, Monét, composer Maurice “Pirahnahead” Herd, and a live orchestra rework songs like “Cadillac (A Pimp’s Anthem)” into “Cadillac Christmas,” and “Stop (Askin’ Me 4Shyt)” into “Stop (Askin’ Me 4Gifts).” Listen to the festive new album below.
It’s been a good year for Monét: Jaguar II won the award for Best R&B Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards, and she also took home the prize for Best New Artist. She followed her Grammys success with a new Usher collaboration, “SOS (Sex on Sight),” that ultimately appeared on Jaguar II : Deluxe.
