Muni Long is gearing up to release her highly anticipated sophomore album “Revenge” in August 2024. The album will be led by singles like “Made Me Forget” and a Mariah Carey-assisted remix of her viral hit “Made For Me”.
Ahead of the album’s release, Long sparked a major debate online after boldly declaring that “Revenge” will be the “best R&B album in the next five to 10 years”. She told “The Morning Hustle” host Lore’l, “That’s no shade, but I really made sure that we talked about some real subjects. We gave you guys a nice story, and the production is there.”
This claim led to significant backlash, with critics seemingly eager to “humble” the singer. Long responded on Twitter, writing, “Let me live in my delusion! If I wanna think I’m the best… let me! I’m [going to] think it anyway. Regardless. [You’re] supposed to big up yourself. Crazy tail selves.”
While “Revenge” will be competing against highly anticipated R&B albums from artists like SZA and Summer Walker, many social media users defended Long’s bold declaration. One reply stated, “She brought fun, upbeat songs back to R&B,” while another commented, “She’s right. Is she supposed to say her album [is] mid? I don’t wanna listen to [any] artist who thinks they put out mid music.”
“Revenge” will serve as a follow-up to Long’s 2022 album “Public Displays Of Affection: The Album”, which featured fan favorites like “Time Machine”, “Pain”, “Baby Boo” with Saweetie, and “No R&B” featuring Ann Marie. In the lead-up to the new release, which is executive produced by Tricky Stewart, Long has been supporting Chris Brown on his “The 11:11 Tour”, which is set to wrap up on August 7th in Los Angeles.
