New Life is the upcoming seventh studio album by American R&B recording artist Monica. The album will serve as Monica's debut release with RCA Records, following the disbandment of her former label, J Records in October 2011. The album is scheduled to be released on April 10, 2012.[1] The buzz singles, "Anything (To Find You)" was released on August 2, 2011, and "Until It's Gone" was released on September 27, 2011 as an digital download. The first single, "It All Belongs to Me" was released on February 6, 2012. The single is a duet with R&B singer Brandy.

Background

The singer is working on her seventh studio album New Life.[2][3] According to reports, the project will be executive produced by her cousin Polow Da Don.[4] Other producers include Oak,[5] and Missy Elliott.[6]

Singles

"Anything (To Find You)" featuring Rick Ross was released for digital download on August 2, 2011, as the album's lead single. The song originally also featured Lil' Kim. Produced by Missy Elliot, and written by Jazmine Sullivan, "Anything (To Find You)" samples "Who Shot Ya?" performed by The Notorious B.I.G.. The song initially debuted on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart at seventy-one, and continued growing for several weeks. However it peaked at twenty-five.

"Until It's Gone" was released for digital download on September 27, 2011 as the album's second single. The song impacted Urban Mainstream, and Adult radio on October 3 and October 4, 2011. The song peaked at number twenty-two on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart. The song served fourteen weeks on that chart. Although "Until It's Gone" was lined up to become official first single together with "Anything (To Find You)", the merge of RCA Records from J Records delayed much of the album release.

"It All Belongs to Me" a duet with Brandy serves as the album's third single. It impacted Radio on February 6 and will be available for purchase on February 13.[7]
