It’s a wonderful experience, with Victoria Monét’s stellar artistry balancing the sensuality of sound with a killer lyrical flair that aims straight for the heart.

Compared to her previous solo releases, Jaguar has a little more definition and distinction, thanks in part to chief collaborator D'Mile. Monét sounds especially comfortable delivering her assured and honeyed hooks over plump disco-funk basslines and between high-powered horns.

A tight piece of fun and sensual R&B, Victoria Monét basks in her rich voice and the interesting sounds at play here. Refreshingly trumpet heavy with some pretty tinges of disco and funk, and at a brief 25 minutes, Jaguar gives you a legitimate reason to listen twice.

It's a tiny little piece of sensual, sensitive and sweet r&b. Victoria has her way with words that really keeps you going from mind over matter. It's a great experience overall, well balanced, streamlined production and great feelings.
