Three words best describe Junia-T’s album Studio Monk: “It’s a vibe.”
From the moment you press play on the intro right to the outro, you’re taken on a musical journey that’s sure to have your mind in an eclectic zone.
Studio Monk sounds like an organic fusion of positive energy, musical genius and the highest grade of greenery.
It feels like each song began as a jam session and took on a life of its own.
“Ooowee” featuring Elijah Dax is a smooth standout in an already strong and diverse compilation. The Jessie Reyez led “Sad Face Emojis” is a definite toe tapper, while “Try Me” has a more dark and grittier sound to it while Nate Husser gets busy on the mic. “Puzzles” featuring beautiful vocals from Faiza, coupled with its reggae influenced production and perfectly timed horns, encapsulates the entire feel of the album.
Junia-T has a little bit of everything on here, but one thing that’s consistent is the production, good vibes and use of live instruments to bring it all together. Listening to Studio Monk, it feels like each song began as a jam session and took on a life of its own. To repeat, it’s a vibe.
On Repeat: Ooowee, Sad Face Emojis, Puzzles
