THE FOUR BLACK WOMEN BEHIND YOUR FAVORITE HITS

Songwriters and producers are often overlooked when celebrating a Hit song however integral a part they played in the song’s creation.

I on the other hand I’m very aware of their contributions and would like to give these talented black women their flowers;

VICTORIA MONET

Described by Ariana Grande as her cheat code, Victoria Monet’s songwriting prowess helped earn Ariana her biggest hit to date and then some.

Victoria Monet co wrote the following songs with Ariana "Be Alright", "Let Me Love You", "Thank U, Next", “7 Rings” “Goodight and go’’ and “Leave me lonely”

Monet’s pen game doesn’t stop there she also has writing credits on the following hits;

"Ice Cream" by Blackpink and Selena Gomez.
"Do It" by Chloe x Halle.
"Memories Back Then" by T.I.
"Drunk Texting" by Chris Brown.
"Rather Be" by Brandy


Victoria Monet released her debut album Jaguar last year and I highly recommend you listen to it, described perfectly by pitchfork as ‘a sleek cocoon of funk-tinged R&B that excavates what it means to be in control’ its definitely worth your time.
