South London’s very own Monét returns to the music scene after a short break, and she’s back with a bang. Her latest single, “Wanna Know,” is an emotional masterpiece that delves into the complexities of love and relationships.
The song is accompanied by a sleek visual shot in various locations around South London, adding a unique layer to the storytelling. In the video, we see Monét engaged in deep conversations with herself, attempting to decipher her innermost feelings. Her signature spoken-word style effortlessly glides over the production by JSTRNGS, creating a distinct subgenre she likes to call “Chill R&B.”
Monét, hailing from Peckham, South London, has been honing her artistic skills for quite some time. She started writing poetry at the young age of 8 and made her debut on the stage in primary school talent shows. In the past few years, Monét was focused on her studies, majoring in journalism at university. However, having graduated last year, she’s now turning her attention to her true passion: creating music.
One unique aspect of Monét’s creative process is her relationship with synesthesia, a condition that blends her perception of sound with colors, adding a vivid layer to her work. Her music is described as warm, aiming to evoke feelings in the listeners, much like the rich, colorful palette she experiences due to synesthesia. This obsession with color shines in the “Wanna Know” video, where she masterfully uses visuals to enhance the emotional depth of her music.
“Wanna Know” is a compelling and honest exploration of human emotions and relationships. Monét’s dedication to authenticity in her music allows her audience to connect deeply with her work, making her an artist to watch in the vibrant South London music scene.
