Victoria Monét Talks To Anderson .Paak About The Meaning Behind Her New Album ‘Jaguar’…
I been in the music industry for a long time as a songwriter. Well, that's what people knew me as, but I
was always doing my artists projects and a lot of people met me first songwriting. So ‘Jaguar,' I felt a lot
like the animal. They are like in the jungle and they're hidden behind the woods. They're not really seen. And then
there's a right moment when they attack and pounce and become the huntress. So I feel like the
album should symbolize that light. Like stepping into that light. Like being fearless and fierce, and like
getting what I always wanted.
