Monica - Here I Am (Remix)
Artist: Monica
Featuring: Trey Songz
Producer: Polow Da Don
Album: Still Standing
Label: RCA
Though Monica‘s sixth studio album won overwhelmingly positive feedback in the Booth when it dropped back in March, we haven’t heard a peep from the veteran soul songstress since. What better way then for her to remind us that she hasn’t gone anywhere than with an official remix of current single (and Booth-approved standout cut) Here I Am? Newly-added for this version of the Ester Dean-penned joint, Trey Songz steps into the role of the fella who fulfills the singer’s needs when her main man is off at the club. After lacing Polow Da Don‘s reverb-drenched instrumental with a little soulful call-and-response and some glittering harmonies, the collaborators crescendo to a climax featuring some of the most dazzling vocal pyrotechnics I’ve heard in… well, I can’t think of anything to compare it to right off the top, so it must have been a while. Have Monica and Trey succeeded in breathing new life into this cut? If you think so, you can hear more on the headliner’s Still Standing LP, as well as on Songz’ recently-released junior full-length, Passion, Pain & Pleasure.

There are not many true R&B artists left in today's industry (R&POP;, yes), but Monica and Trey have what it takes, both vocally and stylistically, to make sure the genre never dies. Trey's inclusion on the remixed version of this song only add to its impressive end result.

Not the best single she's put out, but this should be a moderate hit, if not huge.

Agree with Z, these two continuously stay in their lane of pure R&B, which is highly respected. Not a personal favorite of this remix or the original, but you can't deny the vocal presence of this track.

This was my favorite song (tied w/ "Superman" and "Love all Over Me") on her album, and adding Trey never hurts any track IMO.

Yeah? No. Sorry. Not my type. I respect all types of music, but this brings absolutely nothing new to the table.

They flipped a pretty damn good original into a true burner - it might not be an instant classic, but those of us who truly listen to r&b are going to have this on repeat all day.
This one's a babymaker. Trust me, there's a reason I've got a baby (thanks slow jam r&b).

This has a nice sound to it. I think Monica sounds great here. Great job on the beat by Polow for sure. I was ready to only throw it into rotation until Trey hopped on the track. He makes it just that much better. BANGER.

I'm a huge fan of both Monica and Trey and Monica's new album is AMAZZIIINNNGG!!! This is actually my favorite track off the whole album and I have to say I prefer the original. Something about Trey's vocal delivery didn't work with the song..Song's still great--just didn't like Trey on it.
