It’s been over 3 months since Monica and Shannon Brown tied the knot and jumped the broom. In an exclusive interview with Essence.com, the couple shared a bit about their love for each other, how much Shannon’s mom adores Monica and whether she sees them ever embarking on a reality television show of their own:
Monica is a ‘traditional wife’:
I cook for him. He can cook, but I don’t think he should have to. I’m a traditional wife in every since. I like the fact that he cleans his plate. That’s a southern thing. I’m from Georgia. When we grew up, our uncles finished off your plate and theirs, you know. I love the fact that he likes to talk to me while I cook. It’s not like I have these lonely hours where I’m in the kitchen. We talk while I’m cooking and he’ll ask for things a particular way. He’s a big fan of garlic and different seasonings so I had to learn to use the ones that he likes. I like it because it’s just another chance for us to communicate and to talk about what’s happened in our day. We talk about what practice was like or what my day was like.
On how they keep things passionate:
That’s so easy for us, I don’t know where to start. The best lingerie I have, Vanessa Bryant gave it to me. She is the biggest fan of La Perla and she goes into those stores a lot. Every time I would open one of her gifts, Shannon was like “yeah” and he’d start clapping for that gift. Sometimes he likes when I’m just in his t-shirt or his jersey. Continue
Although two singles in, it’s rumored that Monica still isn’t complete cutting records for her brand new album, New Life, which was led by the first single, “Anything (To Find You).”
More material seems to be surfacing from the album, which is said to be executive produced by longtime collaborator Polow Da Don. Check out the latest track, “Do It All Again,” produced by European duo, Stargate. New Life is slated to make it’s way into stores November 29th.
Monica just released a brand new video for her first single, “Anything (To Find You),” but she’s already gearing up her second single from her upcoming seventh studio album, New Life.
“Until It’s Gone,” features Monica singing over the classic Phyllis Hyman sample, “I Don’t Wanna Lose You.” The new album is slated to hit stores November 29th.
