Monique Angele sparkes emotions in "Be Alive"

Monique Angele's latest single, "Be Alive," is a physical sensation bubbling up from within, found within a filmic journey from the depths of numbness to the surface of emotional awakening. The Canadian-Australian singer-songwriter serves up a haunting, empowering narrative that cuts really deep and gets straight to the gut of what it means to be lost to be found again.

With production by Sean O'Sullivan and mastered by Joe Carra, the track has been released with a clear & near-pristine sound but still contains an edge of attitude. The production is multilayered but never overstuffed, allowing Monique's voice, the emotional center of the song, some space to breathe and soar. Every note is there for a reason, reflecting the song's themes of facing internal silence and returning with fresh flame.

"Be Alive" grabs you with a gorgeously orchestrated storm of vulnerability and awakening. Monique's distinctive operatic voice soars over a lush bed of piano-driven pop, creating a sound that transcends genre while leaving room for profound emotional connection. 

Monique is unafraid of pain and unflinching in the face of humanity's dark spots. She leans in and sings from a place so vulnerable it feels as if she were singing to herself. The result is a universal mirror to anyone who's ever felt emotionally disconnected or struggled to regain their spark.

With Shawn Burgess on drums and multi-instrumentalist Sean O'Sullivan adding isolated elements to the mix, the result is lush and cinematic, classical beauty and tone poems for modern times. It's Monique's genre-fluent, full of feeling, and unapologetically self-conscious.

"Be Alive," is a powerful reminder that when we are at our most silent and fragile, there is strength in feeling, facing the darkness, and deciding to breathe again. If you ever need a song to remind you that you're still here or that it's alright to shatter to come back together again, "Be Alive" is that song. Monique Angele shares a bit of her soul with us and, in doing so, makes us more connected to our own.
