Critically acclaimed alt-R&B artist MONOGEM has just released her highly anticipated debut bilingual album, Gardenia. ‘Gardenia’ is a perfect representation of MONOGEM’s journey-a culmination, a story, a connection to the past, present and future. The album is an evolution as MONOGEM embarks on a new chapter of artistry, embracing her Mexican heritage, perfectly paired with the announcement of welcoming her first born. She continues the story through her son while keeping a promise she made with her abuela, who told her “never forget your roots, never stop speaking, learning and keeping the culture alive”. Memories of her are intertwined through the record, “covered in her essence & laced with the smell of gardenias, her favorite flower”.
