All Monsters Are Human (stylized in all caps) is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter K. Michelle, released on January 31, 2020. The album was originally scheduled for release on December 6, 2019, but was delayed. All Monsters Are Human was preceded by the release of two singles, "Supahood" and "The Rain". To promote the album, Michelle embarked on the O.S.D. Tour in 2019.
Background and writing
Michelle announced that her next project will be titled FAB, an acronym for "Fuck All U Bitches". On November 19, 2018, Michelle released the song "Save Me". It was later announced that she had signed a new record deal with Entertainment One Music. In July 2019, Michelle then announced that her fifth album would be officially titled "All Monsters Are Human".
During a radio interview with Morning Hustle, Michelle explained the meaning behind the title: "Everybody in here is a villain to somebody and in somebody's story, you're not an angel... So All Monsters Are Human, we all have been hurt and hurt so that's where the title comes from because we always say you are this and that but you're the same thing to someone else so if you see it in me it's in you for you to even notice it."
Critical reception
Writing for The Guardian, Rachel Aroesti said the album "centres on the slick, soulful, 80s-style R&B that has provided the foundation for K Michelle’s career". Aroesti described Michelle's vocals on the album as "rich and glassy" and said that they are "coated in the kind of vocoder effect that makes them glitch and ripple nauseatingly".
Singles
The lead single from the album, titled "Supahood", featuring American rappers City Girls and Kash Doll, was released on September 20, 2019. It is a trap song with country influences, described by critics as a "fierce ladies night anthem" and as a "street anthem". The song peaked at number 46 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. "The Rain", produced by Jazze Pha, was released as the second single on October 25, 2019. The song debuted at number 28 on the US Digital Song Sales.
