Jaguar II CD

Eleven tracks, and Victoria Monét wrote plenty of it herself, this being her first album for RCA after years writing hits for other singers. Lucky Daye shows up on "Smoke," Buju Banton on "Party Girls," and Earth, Wind & Fire join her daughter Hazel Monét on "Hollywood." It took home Best R&B Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical at the Grammys, and Rolling Stone, Billboard, and the Los Angeles Times all named it one of the year's best. A strong buy on craft alone.
