Today singer Victoria Monet released her new EP for streaming on Soundcloud. Nightmares & Lullabies: Act II EP doesn't hit iTunes until tomorrow, but you can listen to the seven-track offering in full here. We've been following the singer since she dropped off the first instalment, Nightmares & Lullabies, last year, with appearances from B.o.B and Ty Dolla $ign. For Act II, she calls upon only one feature, from T.I. on the highlight "Mad Generation."
Victoria spoke on the EP's title and how it reflects her music with Billboard. "Nightmares & Lullabies is a metaphor for the juxtapositions ones life can display - bad days vs the best ones and how they can play off of each other," she says. "It also describes my sound. My voice represents the lullaby, and the tribal undertone in the music is dark like a nightmare."
Let us know if you're digging her.
Quotable Lyrics
Looking for us you can find us, on the corner in the trap
Nigga bags in the front, quarter birds in the back
They say the life we live ain't right, cause we hustle til the day light
But when my baby crying for them hunger pain
To be keeping them up at night
- T.I.
