Today, Southern California-based singer-songwriter Monica Aben is thrilled to announce the release of her eagerly awaited EP, Everything I’ve Ever Known (order). The EP features the captivating new single “The Unknown,” which premiered this week at Mundane Magazine, accompanied by an exclusive Q&A with Monica Aben.
In her reflection on “The Unknown,” Monica shares, “I was in a songwriting accountability group that my friend Rainee started and I had one of those ‘WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?!’ weeks, as artists do… A new song was due so I just sat down and started playing this piano riff that had been haunting me and WHAM! This song came out in its entirety. Never changed a lyric. And now that it’s finally coming out with the EP, I find it’s the song, the reminder, I need the most these days.”
Monica continues, “This song was a download from my higher self, my spirit guides, whatever you want to call that. When it fell out of me, I knew there was something there, but now I find myself needing to trust in the unknown more than ever. I hope it can be a lighthouse for anyone listening, because that’s what it has become for me.”
“The Unknown” follows the release of singles “How Free Do You Wanna Be?,” “Force Of Nature” and “Made Of You,” which captivated audiences with their soulful melodies and thought-provoking lyrics.
Monica’s upcoming EP, Everything I’ve Ever Known, chronicles a journey of introspection and growth, weaving together soulful melodies with profound lyrical narratives. With each track, Monica invites listeners to rediscover themselves and embrace a reality rooted in freedom, health, and authenticity.
Beyond her musical endeavors, Monica Aben finds solace in regenerative farming and holistic health practices, aligning her artistic expression with a deep connection to the natural world.
Reflecting on the EP’s inspiration, Monica explains, “These songs weave together the story of me rediscovering the woman I was meant to be. It’s about reconnecting with nature, trusting our instincts, and embracing a new reality of freedom and health.” Everything I’ve Ever Known promises to be Monica Aben’s sonic magnum opus, offering a soundtrack for a new era of consciousness and authenticity.
