{"product_id":"monica","title":"Monica","description":"\u003cp\u003eJack Harlow’s Monica is his fourth studio album, released on March 13, 2026, marking his longest break between projects and his first full‑length since Jackman in 2023. Written in 2025 after relocating to New York and recorded largely at Electric Lady Studios, it plays as a low‑key, nine‑track set that leans into live‑band textures, muted grooves, and a more introspective tone rather than the big, hook‑driven rap anthems that defined Come Home the Kids Miss You. The production—handled by a circle that includes BabeTruth, Hollywood Cole, Clay Harlow, Aksel Arvid, and Rogét Chahayed—builds tracks from warm bass (Jermaine Paul plays on all songs), brushed drums, trumpet lines, and guitar, giving the record a subdued, almost late‑night neo‑soul feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLyrically, Monica is Harlow’s most inward record so far, reflecting on fame comedowns, shifting identity, and his sense of himself in a new city. Rather than punchline‑heavy flexing, he raps in a conversational, often half‑sung flow about aging into his late 20s, relationships that no longer fit, and the tension between career expectations and wanting a quieter life. Critics note that the songs tend to stay in a narrow, “quiet and easy to listen to” dynamic lane, which some fans appreciate as a grown‑up, headphone album and others hear as a somewhat soft‑focus take on R\u0026amp;B and neo‑soul influences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":53439126044986,"sku":"37952","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-05-11_at_11.30.25_AM_4c678b01-e592-4166-9ae6-898347fb507a.jpeg?v=1781164813","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/monica","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
