Victoria Monét On 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 artist's 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.

On If She Considers Herself A Jaguar Or A Cougar

Anderson .Paak: It's your time. Do you ever think you'll transition from a jaguar to a cougar.

Victoria Monét: Oh, come on. Are you calling me old?

AP: No. I'm saying, do you think they'll ever…is that the trajectory? Or you always going to have that jaguar vibe?

VM: I don't want to be a cougar. Cougar means like you like younger men.

AP: Right. And is your man, is he older?

VM: But he is younger. He is only two years [younger], only two years. But he is younger. But I don't think I'll ever call myself… I don't think I'd ever call myself a cougar.

AP: I like the jaguar.

VM: I'm a puma.
