Jaguar is the fifth extended play by American singer-songwriter Victoria Monét, released on August 7, 2020 via Tribe Records and Platoon LTD.[2] Stylistically an R&B project, with elements of funk and disco music, the EP was supported by three singles; "Ass Like That", "Moment", and "Experience" with Khalid and SG Lewis. A short film for the project was released on July 28, 2020.
Monét initially intended Jaguar to be a trilogy of EPs.[3] However, as the second installment experienced a severe delay, the series was eventually reduced to only two parts, with Jaguar II now being her debut studio album.
Upon release, Jaguar received widespread acclaim from music critics, many of whom praised its musical direction and lyricism. The project was ranked in year-end lists by many publications. In support of both Jaguar and Jaguar II, Monét embarked on The Jaguar Tour in 2023.
The resulting project, Jaguar, is a sleek cocoon of funk-tinged R&B that excavates what it means to be in control. "I'm just living on instinct," she croons on the title track, as glossy disco beats skitter and pulse.
