That's what I don't understand about RCA's R&B division, they seem like they have no idea what kind of expectations to have for these artists. Sure maybe something could catch on and become a huge hit like the Still Standing singles but Just Right For Me is doing great for a Monica record in 2015. Why not try and capitalize on that and push the song with a video and some promo instead of squandering a semi-hit for what could very well be a second single that gets paid dust.

It makes no sense to release it later this year when the likes of Adele and Rihanna and whichever other superstar releases their album in November or December.

Omg. Maybe some actual promo can be the reason, because the album is done.

Is the R&B division on a $5 budget? Almost all of their R&B projects this year have under-performed in some way or another. Jazmine Sullivan being the biggest crime. They just need to spin the division off to another label if they're not going to pour resources into it. These artists could do the same or have better impact on an independent label. Monica funded the album entirely on her own.

I think things may have turned out a bit differently had Polow NOT leaked JRFM in terms of RCA's promotion behind it.

But even though if they were pissed, once they saw radio actually responded well to it, they should've thrown themselves behind it and at least rode the wave for it until they were prepared to drop their choice for a single.

Yeah but even going back to the Clive days, RCA has been notorious for being petty when they don't get their way. Edge and Carson need a real Urban division, though. None of the label consolidation did the R&B acts any favors. Got me missing Larry Jackson lol.

Does she have some tour dates lined up already? Just appearances/performances with Dej Loaf, and these "free" performances.

She's so family oriented, I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't do a solo tour until summer 2016. However, she WILL tour. That's definitely something she wants to do with this album regardless of how it performs (most likely so she can disappear and have another baby).

I'm good with these random pop up performances of "So Gone" The ratchets love the rap section.

The label probably wanted the album out ASAP because they know her ass is fertile, and ready to pop out baby #10. By the time the album actually drops, she's gonna be done with all these pop up promo dates she's doing, and she's gonna be back on social media posting pics of her kids farting and doing the nae nae, and RCA is not gonna be able to get her out of the damn house.
I have always said, though, that while it is annoying as hell it's good that Monica has almost been under the radar and treated her career like a hobby. She kinda has that Mary thing where even when you're wrong, you can "do no wrong." People like her as a person, so they still root for her, and keep an active interest in her happenings. And she's still current, so rebounding from a flop isn't as hard for her as it would be for some of her peers.
She should definitely tour more though. It's kinda embarrassing that for as long as she's been making music, she's never really headlined her own tour. She could totally do a major tour with one of the many R&B chicks who fall to her feet and sing her praises...

I feel like a tour of her, Brandy and Jazmine Sullivan would be MAJOR. I know Jazmine's not from their era but I just imagine that being an epic show.

I like the route Monica is going now with her promo. I also think her doing a real tour is a good idea. The Brandy, Monica and Jasmine Sullivan wold be AMAZING.

She is literally playing to 1-2 thousand capacity venues. I'm not here for it.

Is there a real reason on why this was pushed back?
Late October makes sense if the label wants to push another single, but I'm not getting this one?

Not an official one, but I'm under the assumption that she wants to shoot a video for JRFM, then do some TV show promos, leading into the next single.

She said she wanted to push the album back so she could do a proper promo campaign when all the talk shows returned this Fall. But we know she's just going to do your typical 1 week of promo that these R&B gerls do and then disappear.
