(August 31, 2024) Ms. Monet is a singer who leaves an impression on anyone who hears her five-octave voice. Fans of the program The Voice saw that during her appearance, where she rocked the crowd with her performance of “New Attitude.”
Ms. Monet earned the respect of industry insiders, as evidenced by the artists with whom she’s performed, including her Grammy winning performance singing background on Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On.” A voice like hers demands to be spotlighted, and on “Groove With You” Ms. Monet shares the spotlight with Will Downing.
It’s not surprising that a singer with Ms. Monet’s chops would choose the King of Sophisticated Soul as a duet partner. Downing has made memorable songs with Avery*Sunshine, Eric Roberson and Carole Riddick in recent years, and Ms. Monet and Downing combine to score a winner with “Groove With You.” The cut is an up-tempo love song that is aimed at the steppers set.
“Groove With You” tells the story of two people cementing their mutual attraction on the dance floor by giving their perspectives on what attracted one to the other. The vocals are both conversational and sensual as Ms. Monet’s emotive range connects with Downing’s husky baritone. Check it out here.
