August 18, 2024 – Los Angeles, CA: Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Muni Long is bringing the heat this summer with her new single, “Make Me Forget,” produced by legendary hitmaker Tricky Stewart. The vocal seductress finds her sultry ballad residing at the top spot on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart, now scoring her first No. 1 hit after two previous singles had peaked at No. 2. The Muni Long Make Me Forget single jumped from No. 3 to No. 1 on the chart dated Aug. 17, according to Luminate music data. One that accurately reflects the viral response to Muni Long’s new single and her own elastic R&B vocal range.
Indeed, it sees Muni Long showcase her amazing vocal ability over a luscious, modern production that marries perfectly with a special interpolation of D’Angelo’s classic hit, “Untitled (How Does It Feel).” The song within a song brought to life by this iconic track touches listeners’ souls and provides a fresh vision for what the eternal sound of R&B should be. “Make Me Forget” basically addresses all the tests that one goes through in love and relationships. It contains the line, sung by Muni Long, “Though we might disagree, don’t say nothin’ you don’t mean / Know when to walk away when I’d rather let you stay / Gently put me in my place, leave when I need some space.” In such lyrics is hidden a tender balance in between communication, boundaries, and emotional closeness, making it one of the most relatable songs.
The song in a song expertly recaptures the epic piano arrangement by D’Angelo that plays background to Muni Long’s tale of pining and falling in love. The single pays homage to the original but at the same time introduces it to a whole new contemporary audience. Beyond the aforementioned Adult R&B Airplay peak, “Make Me Forget” is enjoying a Top 25 R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay run at the moment. Currently No. 18, the single claims an audience of 5.4 million — up 19 percent for the week.
“Make Me Forget” is the most recent single from Muni Long’s upcoming album, Revenge, out on August 30. The LP arrives as her first in close to two years, following her 2022 release, Public Displays of Affection. Muni Long keeps setting milestones as she heads her own R&B label, Supergiant Records, with distribution through Def Jam. Produced by Tricky Stewart, who also has the likes of producing Beyoncé’s hit single “Break My Soul” and writing Tyla’s chart-topping track “Water” to his name, Muni Long keeps hitting the reset button on R&B today. Managed by Chaka Zulu of Ebony Son Entertainment and backed by production genius Tricky Stewart, expect Muni Long to experience another career breakout.
