June 2, 2009 New Music: Monica – Stay or Go & Betcha She Don’t Love You
R&B songstress Monica is preparing to release her highly anticipated fifth album, Still Standing, this November. The album will coincide with her reality show of the same title that will be airing on BET. The show is set to document the recording process of the new album. Here we have two newly leaked snippets. The first snippet “Betcha She Don’t Love You” is an 80s inspired mid-tempo produced by Missy Elliott. The other, “Stay or Go” gives us classic Monica vocals with production from Ne-Yo. It’s a really nice, straight-up R&B joint.
Take a listen to the snippets below and let me know what you think! For the latest news on her project, follow Monica on Twitter!

Yeah I agree with DOB. Her voice isn’t as splendiferous as it used to be. Monica, what happened?!

I love the two tracks…”betcha she dont love you” sounds like a summer track but I think it will be something to ride to in November. I like that idea Glennisha…with a remix with a hot female rapper it will top the charts…and “stay or go” is going to be my new anthem. Stop hating DOB. We love Brandy too. It is enough room in the industry for us all.

I do not like Betcha She Don’t Love You
Stay or Go is OK not worthy of being the first single really could be left off the CD altogether

B Scoot your the best mann ” I LOVE YOU” Any who “Betcha she can’t” IS hott and whoever made the suggestion of adding lil kim or a Female rapper is even hotter that would be the ish by adding either lil kim or trina and “stay or go” sounds like it could be a nice lil club banger i am feeling both… it is not something we heard already… I LOVE YOU MONICA

I like both songs and Betcha She Don’t Love You is a remake of Evelyn Champagne King’s song .

Betcha She Don’t Love You, is an oldie, love what Monica did with it. I also like Stay or Go, but I don’t know if it has enough pop to make it popular.

I don’t really care for them… I’m not sure if she is going to be able to make a comeback.

I am very positive towards Monica but I am not feeling “Betcha She Don’t Love You”… “Stay or Go” is okay at the first sight”.

TNC, me not liking the tracks has nothing to do with Brandy. And Chriswell, I agree – something has just not been the same with Monica’s voice/music for the last few years.

Monica’s voice has layers. Nothing is wrong w/ her voice..its what makes her stand out. I can’t make a complete judgement call on a snippet…but, i like what i hear!!

LoL..man sum of these lil fake music/voice critiques….& I won’t finish the rest bcuz nothing kills me!
Listen..may u be a Monica fan or not, her talent is undeniable! The girl can SANG! I will never downplay another artist in the game 2 lift another up, but the truth is..not many of them can do what she does & everyone knows it! – “something has just not been the same with Monica’s voice/music for the last few years.” Girl Stop! Makings of me went Platinum if u didn’t know. Still Standing will do the same or better! & her voice has matured & sounds even better than it did before!
Start loving & Stop hating! Support the homegirl instead of anticipating her downfall! Black folks always in judgment mode wondering why we don’t get ahead! She can & WILL make a comeback..anyone who doesn’t think so..stop playin yaselves! How about u go & do 1/2 of what she’s done over the past 15 years..?! Better yet carry half a note the way that she can! Yall need to stop!
& as for the person who suggested leaving “Stay or Go” off the album altogether…you should really leave the music critiquing to Simon Cowell, Randy, Paula & them …LoL…cuz the beat is sick, & her vocals are even sicker! It’s one of the best that we’ve heard of this album!
