Monét has engaged in promotional activities beyond late-night efforts for her debut album JAGUAR II.
Rated R&B covered her headlining tour, which began in D.C. in September. The tour will continue until Nov. 15, following its second show at Roundhouse in London.
Amid touring, Monét paid a visit to Vevo studios to perform “How Does It Make You Feel.”
Circling back to JAGUAR II, the album was released Aug. 25 via RCA Records. It is the second and final installment of her JAGUAR series.
Selling 15,000 equivalent units in the first week, JAGUAR II debuted at No. 6 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart, marking Monét’s highest-charting project to date.
