I have a suggestion to really get your album sales increased

Wassup Monica,

My name is James and I have been your fan from the beginning. I was vibing to your voice during my sophomore year at Morehouse. Seems ages ago, but you still in the game so that speaks volumes. The music industry looks more and more like corporate america to me in comparison to how it was in the 90's. You bring the money you flourish. You have your artist (singers who love to sing anywhere, nightclub, church, etc.) and you have your stars (Usually a brand with not as much talent or interest other than making money). No shade to anyone that wants to a star over an artist, but what happened to us appreciating true talent like yourself. This morning you crossed my mind and I immediately had a visual of you and Brandy doing another up tempo song together. Both of you are talented and you could both use a resurgence in your career. I say if it aint broke , dont fix it. Let a duet with Brandy be your first single. Yall get your teams together again to make magic and bring us the artistry that you posses, but at the same time make the dough you deserve. I know that many may disagree with me, but its a win win scenario. You both have a strong following so you are guaranteed good album sells. Sometimes I wish I could sit at the table and tell record companies how to run it, but Im a psychologist not a salesman. lol..

Brainstorm Moe and even if my suggestion doesnt appeal to you, whatever you do, think outside of the box and come hard babe cause its "do or die". Regardless of the outcome please know that your fans are gonna "Ride or die" and you will be taken care of for the rest of your life just as long as you keep GOD first. I appreciate your show for the calmness, the struggle, the realness, and the teachings of family values. This is my two cents.

I think J Records and Monica/Monica's Team should start promoting Everything To Me all over the North East Coast and LA Area b/c once the song becomes a hit in these places, or once tha radio stations starts playing the song it'll catch on fast.

Pay radio stations if you have to, do whatever that is necessary, its a tough market out there, but there's still a romance/RnB market out there that isn't controlled by Gaga or Beyonce. There are people who love slow moving songs and Everything To Me can attract these people.

I believe Monica should start performing in a fine/sexy/Oscar Red Carpet worth dress at all the TV shows like Oprah, Ellen, Regis & Kelly etc. The late night crowd would be nice too with Leno/Conan (who knows? lol) and Jimmy Kimmel, Chelsea Lately etc.

I don't want Monica to over do it b/c I think people don't like an over achiever, but people do like it when songs come into their experience from out of the blue.

Also, definitely keep up with the local clubs as well.

The key is promotion, promotion that Monica didn't recieve past her 1 or 2 single in the last album. She is making good music, Grammy worthy songs, and it sucks the effort isn't made to drive it into people souls and playlists. It's going to take time, RnB songs don't really become overnight successes, it needs constant replay, cash (lol), and positivity Smiling

Love you all!!

Hit me up if there's anything I can do to help. I'd like a list of Radio Station Numbers to call. I'm sure I can give more advice if needed. Thanks for your time.
