Victoria Monét gets steamy with Usher on new collab "SOS (Sex on Sight)"

Alan Pedder

When Victoria Monét performed an Usher tribute alongside Teyana Taylor at this year BET Awards, back at the start of July, the triple Grammy-winning star had already made no secret of her admiration for man she called "a living legend and a real class act" after watching him perform at his Las Vegas residency last November. That same night, Monét had given Usher a custom-made letterman jacket as a good luck gift ahead of his Super Bowl halftime show, and a friendship was born.

Fast forward 9 months and the two have just dropped their first official collab with new Camper-produced single "SOS (Sex On Sight)", which Monét has been teasing over the past few days. On Thursday she asked fans to guess who the featuring artist would be, before revealing the answer on Friday on a post that was flooded with 🆘 emojis.

In a press release accompanying the single release, Monét had this to say:

“SOS (Sex On Sight) is about desire. It’s about the urgency you feel when you need some love, physical touch and quality attention! Sometimes that desire can feel as urgent as being rescued from a natural disaster, or in this case rescued from your own sensual urges. Just like a storm, SOS summons and forewarns a lover of the rainfall that is to come and welcomes the beautiful relief from that desire. It feels romantic, playful, sultry and direct. Based in fantasy and the warmest tones of r&b. It feels timeless and we hope you enjoy the escape!”

The press release also confirms that there will be more new music from Monét coming soon, with a deluxe edition of her 2023 album, Jaguar II, on the way.
