Victoria Monét, On My Mama | Track Review

R&B singer/songwriter Victoria Monét brings ample confidence on her fierce single, “On My Mama.”

“Put that on my own mama, on my hood / I look fly, I look good / You can’t touch my bag, wish you could / I look fly, I look too good.” Oh shee-it! Yes, the talented Victoria Monét is confident AF on her single, “On My Mama”.  Basically, you can’t touch her – she’s the sugar honey iced tea! On this fab record, she gets a groovy, soulful backdrop courtesy of   Deputy and Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman.  It’s not all neo-soul vibes though as Chalie Boy brings the hip-hop swagger in the post-chorus, gassing up Ms. Monét .  While the chorus (excerpted above) takes the cake, EVERYTHING about “On My Mama” is the cat’s meow .

Monét has opted against being humble – an understatement.  “Tell me, is you down / ‘Cause I’m tryna go up tonight,” she sings in the first verse, continuing, “Hoes and hoochies left and right / I just wanna live in a fantasy / I think we deserve it, right?” WOO! Furthermore, she brags, “Sex game go stupid / Snappin’ like a toothpick /… Might be too fine to hit it from behind” Lawd Jesus! As untouchable as she is,  There is no way you can deny how entertaining she sounds on “On My Mama”. Is it too much? Perhaps in real life, yes, but for the purposes of a contemporary R&B record where fierceness is desired, NO! Great, great song!
