Today, Houston native Monaleo shares a powerful new single “Miss U Already” featuring NoCap. This record is different from the rap anthems that propelled her to rising stardom and shows her raw vocal talent and versatility as she sings a ballad reminiscing about a dear friend lost. “Miss U Already” is Monaleo’s most personal song to date that transparently tackles loss, stages of grief and mental health problems that come with it all. Accompanying the single is a stripped down b-side performance video with Monaleo singing to a choir as they sing back at her “if you hear me, I miss you dearly”. Watch here. With “Miss U Already,” Monaleo aims to comfort and uplift others experiencing similar emotions. She’s been a leader for the younger generation on mental health, suicide prevention and self care, openly talking about her struggles with Noisey, Allure, Vulture, and more. Prior to this record, Monaleo shared rap tracks “Body Bag” and a remix of Chief Keef’s “Faneto” that went viral on TikTok. She also dropped upbeat anthems “We Not Humping” (remix featuring Flo Milli) which amassed over 25M streams and went viral charting #1 on TikTok Trending for three weeks, “Suck it Up,” and her viral break-up anthem “Beating Down Yo Block” – the latter racked up over 20M views, 50M streams worldwide, and made Song of the Summer on Pitchfork. All of this gave her the momentum needed to join Flo Milli’s Girls Just Wanna Have Fun tour, perform Rolling Loud NY, catch the eye of Beyoncé who cast her in the Summer 2021 Ivy Park campaign, forge a partnership with Cash App Studios, and named Youtube Music’s Foundry Class of 2021. Monaleo has garnered international and local press praise early from NME, Rolling Stone AU, Interview Mag, Uproxx, Okayplayer, Vibe, Complex, XXL, Genius, Houston Chronicle, Houstonia, and more, and will continue to be a voice for the next generation of artists.LISTEN TO “MISS U ALREADY” FT.
