The music industry is highly competitive and fickle. With new artists hitting the scene everyday and fans’ tastes constantly changing it's extremely difficult for even the biggest established stars to have any type of staying power in the music business. Careers and reputations are put on the line with every new song or album released. It’s an emotional process that requires creative, dynamic partnerships and interaction among the artist, the producer and the record label in order to have a remote chance at success. Organically capturing this high-stakes process is what THE SINGLE is all about.

THE SINGLE: MONICA will follow the Grammy-winning, multi-platinum R&B artist as she works with record producer-songwriter Bryan-Michael Cox and J Records A&R executives Larry Jackson and Jaha Johnson, on an upcoming single for her new album. The special will track the process of creating a hit song from conception to recording to release, while also providing a peek at Monica’s home life.
