Nigerian-born, Dublin-based artist Monjola is captivating audiences with his unique fusion of melancholic lo-fi rap textures and soulful optimism. Today, he reveals "GO WRONG," a new track from his forthcoming debut EP, IT'S NOT THAT DEEP, set for release on June 14th via AWAL.
Following the success of his poignant single "ON MY MIND," a collaboration with his brother and emerging producer MOIO, "GO WRONG" solidifies Monjola's reputation as one of Ireland's most promising new talents. The track is effortlessly infectious, seamlessly blending rap and singing to crystallize Monjola's signature sound. Drawing from a diverse range of influences—including future-minded R&B, hip-hop, and rock— "GO WRONG," produced by MOIO, showcases Monjola's eclectic musical palette and his admiration for artists such as Usher, Pharrell, and the Arctic Monkeys.
Reflecting on his new single, Monjola shares, "It's a journey through the labyrinth of past relationships, where the corridors echo with haunting whispers of regret. The song is about reflecting on past relationships, thinking about things that you might have done wrong, and situations you wish you could revisit. While revisiting these feelings, it's also about finding a sense of peace, knowing you can't change the past and that you need to focus on yourself. It's not that deep."
"GO WRONG" offers a poignant glimpse into Monjola's introspective world, setting the stage for the full release of IT'S NOT THAT DEEP. With this new single, Monjola not only showcases his versatility as an artist but also reaffirms his position as an exciting new export from Ireland.
