Hailing from Oakland, California, Monique Marie brings her authentic soulful flair to the forefront, infusing her music with her rich powerhouse vocals and an undeniable passion for her art. But what sets her apart is the seamless fusion of genres that she incorporates in her music, backed by an infectious energy that stays with the listener outside the songs. She is an artist who is not afraid of surrendering vulnerability, writing from places of tenderness and strength to not only entertain listeners but also make them feel the deep emotions that went into the creation of the music. She’s already got that star glow, her stage presence is magnetic, and the talent…well, it speaks for itself, and loudly so!
The moment now belongs to Monique and her latest jam ‘Love Is in the Air,’ which features an upbeat and strong beat, complemented by Marie’s incredibly powerful voice of pure range and power.
The intro is strong and cinematic, with upbeat and well-fortified beats laying a steady foundation that is met by Marie’s vocal preparedness. Promptly, she draws you in with the color, strength, and range of her impressive vocals, immersing you as the track unfolds.
It is not lost on listeners how her vocals keep up; despite the track’s powerful and dominant beats, Monique’s equally expressive vocals balance the profound nostalgia of soul with the fervent appeal of R&B.
As the song’s title suggests, ‘Love Is in the Air’ is exactly that and was inspired by the very idea of exploring true and intimate love.
An enchanting masterpiece that showcases the sheer beauty, color, and range of Marie’s powerhouse vocals, as well as her songwriting dexterity, ‘Love Is in the Air’ is a shining example of her peerless gifts and proves that she deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the best.
An easy recommendation for anyone who loves good music, I put forward to you this sonic charm, and I hope you enjoy it as much as she did creating it.
