Victoria Monét Drops Sensational New ‘On My Mama’ Music Video
As the release date of Victoria Monét’s highly anticipated debut studio album, “Jaguar II,” draws near, the R&B singer and songwriter has gifted fans with an exhilarating music video for her latest single, “On My Mama.” Directed by Child., the video features a dynamic ensemble cast, including Chalie Boy, whose iconic track “I Look Good” is cleverly sampled in the song.
Monét’s personal touch is evident as she includes her mother and daughter in the video, creating a touching narrative. With vibrant visuals and powerful symbolism, the “On My Mama” music video is a heartfelt tribute to the vibrant Southern Black culture that flourished in the 2000s.
Guided by the choreography prowess of Sean Bankhead, the “On My Mama” music video showcases Victoria Monét’s exceptional artistry. The video seamlessly transitions through an array of era-appropriate outfits, ranging from jersey dresses to oversized gas station tees, playful durags paired with baggy jeans, and midriff-baring tops.
Each outfit change pays homage to influential figures like Ciara, Destiny’s Child, and Mýa, encapsulating the era’s essence with remarkable precision. Additionally, the video features nods to Black Greek letter organizations and humorously incorporates popular Black social media memes, resulting in an engaging and culturally resonant visual experience.
