The Love Cafe
The Florida-native has been soaring since winning Best R&B Performance for her 2021 smash-hit, “Hrs & Hrs”, at the 2023 Grammy Awards. “The Love Cafe” was an intimate gathering for Muni Long’s (previous stage name Priscilla Ranea) day one fans to celebrate with her. The packed out venue awaited the singer/songwriter to arrive on stage as a violinist performed a mesmerizing solo. Muni Long glided onto the stage in a red gown as she opened up her set with, “Crack” off of her Public Displays of Affection: The Album. The crowd shouted the lyrics along with her.
Muni Long engaged with her audience throughout the night. She performed love melodies such as, “Midnight Snack”, “Time Machine”, and her own rendition of Usher’s “U got It Bad” and “Lovers and Friends”. Things even got steamy on stage as she brought her husband to the stage for a playful lap dance.

The highlight of the night was when she brought out two vocally gifted and powerful singers JoJo and Amber Riley to help Muni Long sing their rendition of Whitney Houston’s “Heartbreak Hotel”. The three of them on stage each taking turns with their fierce and vigorous voices served as a powerhouse.
“We got a Grammy bitch!”
The night couldn’t end without Muni Long closing out her set to “Hrs & Hrs”. Prior to singing, Muni Long gave a backstory as to how the song became what it is today. The song first appeared on her 2021 EP Public display of Affection, and was also added to the album of the same name. Muni Long spent years behind the scenes helping notable artists (Mariah Carey, Rihanna, and Ariana Grande) achieve musical success. However, 2021 was her year to step into the spotlight.
The song skyrocketed to No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 after gaining popularity on Tik Tok. In a recent interview with Billboard, she shared, “I want my legacy to be that I never give up. I never quit. That I’m for the people. And I’m for women who look like me. You know, brown girls breaking barriers.”
Her show was the perfect way to spend lover’s day.
