Muni Long Gets Realer Than Ever Before on 'Revenge'
“This album is the first time that I actually put my real feelings and real experiences on wax,” she told Hypebae.
Muni Long is ready to reintroduce herself on her anticipated new album Revenge. Her sophomore studio project, the LP finds the songstress more confident and reflective than ever before.
“This album is the first time that I actually put my real feelings and real experiences on wax,” she told Hypebae of the album. “Before now, I would always imagine or put myself in other people’s shoes or hear one of my friend’s stories and write about it from there. But this is the first time I was like, ‘I’m going to use this as therapy and talk about what I’m actually going through.’”
The 14-track offering comes complete with previously released singles “Made For Me,” “Make Me Forget” and “Ruined Me,” and is an LP that Muni Long believes is just what the R&B genre needs.
“Saving R&B, to me, means creating a space for more R&B music to drive and have a seat at the table,” she added. “More and more people are falling in love with R&B again, which is amazing. This means that the budgets are getting bigger and the demand could lead to offers from for TV, film and live performances.”
“In the early ’00s, you could not turn on the radio or TV without hearing some R&B music. Now, you have to dig and search for it. I appreciate being an example of what a real song sounds like, not just the same word over and over again. There’s no shade to those artists but we’ve had enough of that, can we get some real words? Somebody call Babyface, please.”
