Give Me All Of Your Emotions

Victoria Monét “Moment”

I love the low-key ego of this song, and the way Victoria Monét sings from the perspective of being treated like a prize with a matter of fact tone. She’s basically saying “OK, you fantasized about me for ages and now you’ve got me, so what are you gonna do?” As elegant and romantic as the music is, the song is ultimately about an awkward situation in which the thrill of pursuit disappears and the pressure to be present and deliver on a promise sets in. Monét alternates between nurturing and demanding phrases, asserting control over the scene as much as she would like to have everything click into something magical and effortless as the string parts that seem to float into the mix like something out of a Hollywood love scene.
