Muni Long to release “Delulu” single on October 17

Muni Long announces “Delulu” single
Since her breakout in 2021, Muni Long has carved out her place as one of R&B’s most dynamic voices. With songwriting credentials that stretch back years and a Grammy under her belt, Muni has successfully transitioned from behind-the-scenes hitmaker to full-fledged star.
In 2024, she dropped her critically praised album Revenge — a 14-track statement packed with soul, sensuality, and sharp lyricism. Now in 2025, she’s returning with a new wave of energy. Her next single, “Delulu,” drops on October 17, just as she kicks off her new tour.
Fans have been buzzing with excitement ever since she teased the track online, calling it her “delusional era” — but in the best way possible.
From Pen Game to Center Stage: The Rise of Muni Long
Before the world knew her as Muni Long, Priscilla Renea was writing hits for everyone from Rihanna to Ariana Grande. Her pen game was already legendary. But stepping into the spotlight under her new moniker changed everything.
Her hit “Hrs and Hrs” became an instant R&B classic — viral on TikTok, certified platinum, and eventually earning her a Grammy Award. That single wasn’t just a moment; it was a shift. Suddenly, Muni Long wasn’t just writing the soundtrack. She was the soundtrack.
The Revenge Era: Empowerment Meets Elegance
Released in 2024, Revenge was Muni’s second studio album — and a defining one. The project spanned 14 tracks and featured a standout collaboration with rap star GloRilla, blending gritty bars with Muni’s silky vocals.
The album struck a balance between vulnerability and confidence. Songs tackled heartbreak, healing, and the kind of self-worth that comes only after serious growth. The sound? A seamless blend of modern R&B, slow jams, and sharp hooks — the kind you sing at full volume in your car at midnight.
With Revenge, Muni proved she wasn’t a one-hit wonder or viral fluke. She was here to stay — and evolving with each release.
“Slow Grind” Set the Tone for 2025
Earlier this year, Muni dropped “Slow Grind,” her first single of 2025. The track leaned into her sensual side — smooth production, lush harmonies, and lyrics that brought romance back to R&B.
The single was also a signal: new music was coming, and Muni was deep in her creative bag again.
In interviews, she hinted that her next era would be bolder, a bit more “in her fantasy,” and unafraid to be fully herself — even if that meant being a little “delulu.”
What to Expect From “Delulu”
The title of her upcoming single says it all. “Delulu” — short for “delusional” — has become internet slang for confidently believing in your own version of reality, even if it’s a bit dreamy.
Muni’s own words say it best:
“I’m out here being delusional and having my way again.”
She shared that statement across her social media, along with the announcement that Delulu will officially release on October 17.
While no preview or snippet has been released yet, fans are speculating that the track will dive into fantasy, confidence, and playful self-deception — all wrapped in Muni’s signature R&B style.
It’s also confirmed that she’ll be performing the single live on her upcoming tour. And as she promised: “Yes, the mic will be ON!”
Tour Kickoff: Live Vocals, Real R&B
Muni Long’s upcoming tour with Brandy and Monica is already generating hype. Known for her powerhouse vocals and stage presence, Muni is one of the few artists in modern R&B who emphasizes live performance.
She recently posted that “Delulu” will be added to the setlist — and she’s bringing the energy. Fans can expect a mix of older favorites, tracks from Revenge, and of course, the brand-new single.
The tour kicks off just a day before the single drops, making October 17 a big day for Muni — and for fans.
Why Muni Long Is a Standout in Modern R&B
In a genre often filled with sound-alikes and trends, Muni Long stands out. She writes her own music. She hits every note live. And she makes R&B that feels both classic and current.
Here’s what sets her apart:
- Vocal range and control: Muni’s background as a trained vocalist shows in her recordings and on stage.
- Lyricism: Her songwriting isn’t just catchy — it’s meaningful. Whether she’s being playful or poetic, the words hit.
- Authenticity: Muni has been open about her journey, her rebrand, and the hard road to recognition. That transparency resonates.
- Evergreen appeal: Tracks like “Hrs and Hrs” and “Made for Me” don’t age. They live in playlists for years.
She’s not chasing trends. She’s setting the tone — and doing it her way.
