Three years since her last album, Monica is ready to return with Code Red. The R&B songstress has revealed a release date for her eighth album.

The follow-up to 2012’s New Life will arrive just in time for the holidays on Dec. 18. “CodeRED DECEMBER 18th 2015,” she tweeted.

The album has spawned the Polow Da Don-produced single “Just Right for Me” featuring Lil Wayne, for which a video has already been shot.

In addition to Polow, Monica has been in the studio with Timbaland, Missy Elliott, and Dallas Austin working on Code Red.

“I talked about everything from heartbreak and love to being married and having children to being a woman who owns her own company and how hard it is to make certain things happen because of it,” she told Rap-Up.

In anticipation of the album, Monica will hit the road on her month-long “Code Red Experience” tour with Rico Love starting Nov. 12.
