Muni Long: The cinematic flexing goes strong in the 'Made For Me' music video
Could you use a lot more Muni Long in your life? Say less. The R&B crooner is coming through in a big way courtesy of the new ‘Made For Me’ music video.
Muni Long delivers with the ‘Made For Me’ music video
It’s way more than a catchy tune. Long gets the cameras rolling for this cinematic presentation.
Back with another #1 success, GRAMMY® Award-winning R&B superstar Muni Long unveils the cinematic music video for her hit single “Made For Me,” out now via Supergiant Records/Def Jam Recordings. Watch HERE.
Produced by the legendary Jermaine Dupri and Bryan Michael Cox, “Made For Me” follows in the footsteps of mega hit “Hrs & Hrs” and vaulted to #1 at R&B Radio solidifying her staying power at the top of the charts.
Taking on themes of A.I. in 21st century dating, Muni teamed up with directors Des Gray and Trinidad James to deliver her boldest visual to date. Assuming the role of a not-so-mad scientist, Muni makes plans to design the perfect man, appropriately describing him as “Made For Me.” Her character finds the ingredients in co-star, fellow singer/actor Luke James, but he’s unfortunately committed…which doesn't stop her.
Muni commented, “I wanted to have fun with this video and really think outside of the box. It’s my little nod to A.I. mixed with Frankenstein. If you want to find the perfect person in a limited dating pool, you might just have to create them! It’s only science fiction for now but with how fast technology is changing could this be our reality someday?”
In the fall, Muni lit up the stage at the Soul Train Awards with a show stopping performance of “Made For Me” accompanied by a stunning group of choir vocalists. Watch HERE. Muni will officially release “Made For Me” Live from the 2023 Soul Train Awards later this month
Everything is setting the stage for her forthcoming full-length album due in 2024!
Muni Long surfaced in 2022 to become the new artist story of the year. Out of three nominations - including Best New Artist - she took home “Best R&B Performance” for “Hrs & Hrs” at the 65th Annual GRAMMY® Awards. Meanwhile, Usher hopped on the high-powered official remix of “Hrs & Hrs”earlier this summer. In addition she also lit up the stage at Essence Fest. Beyond placing among Spotify’s most-listened to modern R&B artists, she has also earned widespread acclaim from Billboard, ESSENCE, New York Times, NPR, People, Pitchfork, and many more.
The most streamed and buzzworthy artist in R&B today, Muni has exploded since the success of “Hrs & Hrs.” In addition to netting over 1 Billion Global streams and peaking at #1 at Urban & Rhythmic radio, the track rose to Top 5 at Apple Music, and hit #17 on the Billboard Hot 100. Tastemakers are still astonished over Muni’s triumphant performance of "Hrs And Hrs” at the 2022 BET Awards. She wrapped up 2022 with American Music Awards nominations for Favorite Female R&B Artist and Favorite R&B Song (“Hrs & Hrs”). One week later, Muni opened the BET Soul Train Music Awards with a live performance of “Plot Twist,” and went on to take home the Ashford & Simpson Songwriter's Award. Additionally, she won Best New R&B Artist at the 2023 iHeart Radio Awards.
Before her soulful, conversational songwriting and powerful vocals caught fire around the world, Muni Long spent a decade as one of the best-kept behind-the-curtain secret weapons in the industry. Her journey as a much-in-demand songwriter, co-mingling R&B, rap, and pop, resulted in a diverse catalog of hits accumulated by Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Chris Brown, Ariana Grande, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson, and Selena Gomez, to name a few.
