Monica Friends
Monica and Ty’s voices blended beautifully as they sang about resisting negative peer pressure.
Monica has worked in music and entertainment since the 1990s. Her soulful voice and profound lyrics have helped her sell over 25 million records, win many Grammys, and spawn chart-topping classics. It had been a while since she released a single, but the 41-year-old diva is back to show fans that she’s still got it—and she didn’t do it alone.
Ty Dolla $ign, real name Tyrone William Griffin Jr., is a Los Angeles-based singer recognized for his harmonizing vocals and unique adlibs. The Georgia native collaborated with Ty on “Friends,” which was released on Friday (July 15). The two combined their voices on the four-minute track about not caring how their friends perceive their romantic relationships.
Monica began the record by singing, accompanied by guitar strums and bass,”I got friends, baby/Just like you/They don’t understand what we going through/We can go back and forth/That’s how we do.” Towards the end of the track, the two artists had a full-on sing-off, mimicking Patti LaBell’s “Somebody Loves You, Baby.”
