While many took the opportunity to highlight celebrities and musicians they admired, others paid homage to the strong females of their familial units, with most giving praise to their very own mothers. Such was the case for artist and songwriter Victoria Monét.
With a daughter of her own, Monét is more than cognizant of the importance of having strong female role models to lift you up when you are down and to help you to keep on going and striving towards your goals. “When I think no one is watching, she is watching me,” Monét says of being a positive influence for her 2 year old daughter Hazel, adding “so it’s a 24/7 thing.”
This was also the case for singer and actress Coco Jones. “A woman who drives and inspires me… I’m going to have to say my mom,” says Jones, continuing, “if I can’t work and grind and pop off and shine like her, then I don’t know what I’m doing.”
As an entertainer who is constantly in the spotlight, Jones takes her position as a female role model more than seriously, saying it might even be her life’s purpose. Following in the image of her mother before her, Jones pledges to always “inspire the next group of young girls to be bold and courageous and unapologetically themselves.” While stating that her own road to stardom had its fair share of rocky moments, it was the inspiration of strong females like her mother that helped her to “know her why” so that she could maintain her purpose and intention behind everything she’s doing.

Doechii wears her Tampa crown proudly as the self-dubbed “swamp princess.” Since her viral debut with “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake” in 2020 prior to her signing with TDE, the Floridian has continued to create music following no clear rules. “Stressed,” her latest buzzworthy release, is a dual R&B and rap anthem, showcasing Doechii’s dynamic approach. The song incorporates a push and pull relationship with keeping her anxiety and vices at bay, backed by jazz nodes and a myriad of percussions.

To honor her home, Honda and Billboard recreated the Tampa native’s swampland origins as the immersive set for the song’s official visual out today, directed by Omar Jones. “’Stressed’ is basically me divorcing all my bad habits,” says Doechii, “like alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and just like negative poor behaviors that I recently have quit, which is great.”
The repetition of “I must” in the chorus oddly creates a soothing melodic flow for the anxiety-ridden lyrics. “I must be lost in my regrets/ I must be down; I must be stressed…It must be so much more to life/ If I had diamonds and baguettes.” Parting from her woes, the song’s tempo picks up halfway, with the adlib “we coming for you,” reassuring Deochii’s confidence. Supported by two foreground dancers and an all-female live band, the marsh heiress continues to deliver a dominating performance beneath a canopy of suspended furniture and overgrown greenery.
When she raps, her cutthroat punch lines remind listeners that Doechii is ‘that’ girl. The versatile MC spits “Sabotagin’ me ’til I’m forced to rip the mask off/ This lobotomy is just a reflection of the last lost/ This body is in remembrance of the last lot.” Despite odds stacked against her, the rising superstar demonstrates her dominance.
As the latest release from a fiery year of anthems and EPs, fans can expect more new music and a potential album soon. “You can definitely expect an album and I don’t even know when,” she hints, “but it’ll be an amazing body of work – one of the greatest albums of all time.”
