The R&B heavyweight Monica has announced her plans to release a fourth album  sometime in August through J Records titled “Lessons Learned.”  This will be her first release since 2006’s “The Makings of Me.”  A single should hit airwaves in July and the album will feature about 12-14 tracks.

The album may feature production by Grammy Award Winning producer Bryan Michael Cox, Babyface, Kendrick Dean, Ne-Yo, Polow Da Don, and R.Kelly. Monica also plans on hitting the road and touring with this album, which should be a step in the right direction.
