- New Life is the seventh studio album by American singer Monica, released by RCA Records on April 6, 2012. It marked the singer's debut release with the company following the disbandment of her former label, J Records in October 2011. A musical continuation of her commercially successful 2010 album Still Standing, Monica started working on the album only weeks after the release of the former. She reteamed primarily with frequent writers and producers, including Bryan-Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri, Missy Elliott, and Cainon Lamb but also collaborated with new and upcoming producers such as singer Rico Love, whose songs replaced much of her cousin, producer Polow da Don's original material. New Life is predominately a contemporary R&B album with major influences of pop and soul. The album's lyrics explore the complexities of romantic relationships and stages of love, much of which was inspired by Monica's marriage to professional basketball player Shannon Brown and her relocation to Arizona. Guest vocalists on the album are rappers Rick Ross and Wale as well as singer and close friend Mary J. Blige. Entertainer Brandy, who had previously collaborated with Monica on their number-one record "The Boy Is Mine" (1998), features on the single "It All Belongs to Me". New Life received a mixed reception by critics, many of whom praised Monica's vocal performances and the album's trend-detaching nature but found the material too generic and cliché-addled. Upon its release, the album debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200, and at number two on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, selling 69,000 copies. With first month sales of 116,400 copies, New Life sold significantly less than its predecessors. Singles such as "Anything (To Find You)" and "Until It's Gone" failed to sell or chart noticeably on both the pop and the R&B charts. (en)

- New Life är det sjätte studioalbumet av den amerikanska R&B-sångerskan Monica. Skivan blev hennes debut hos RCA Records efter att hon förflyttas dit när J Records lades ner under hösten 2011. Albumet var först tänkt att ges ut under det fjärde kvartalet av år 2011 men utgivningsdatumet flyttades fram ett flertal gånger och blev till slut den 10 april 2012. Monica anställde sitt vanliga team kompositörer för att jobba på projektet däribland Bryan-Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri, Missy Elliott, och Polow da Don. Skivans titel representerar sångerskans "fulländade" fas i livet efter sitt giftermål med basketspelaren Shannon Brown, att ha två små barn och att hon mer eller mindre kommit över de tragiska händelserna i hennes förflutna. Två promosinglar gavs ut från projektet medan Monica fortfarande var hos J Records; upptempo-spåret "Anything (To Find You)" (#25) och balladen "Until It's Gone" (#22). Skivans ledande singel är den Rico Love-komponerade låten "It All Belongs to Me" vilken är en duett med den jämngamla artisten Brandy. Låten tog sig till en 23:e plats på USA:s R&B-lista. (sv)
