Monjola’s recent single ‘Extrovert’ boosted his profile at home in Ireland and further afield, picking up tastemaker coverage from Wonderland and Notion, and leading to a major upcoming Dublin show as guest to Atlanta rap star Russ. Today sees Monjola share the brand new single ‘Big Fat Liar’ as he works towards releasing much more new music in 2023. Listen HERE.
There’s only one way to confront a liar and that’s to pull no punches while telling the truth. Monjola immediately goes in, melodically singing “You’re a liar” before taking off with the rhyme, “Let’s go: I’ve got some things I need to let go.” His flow continues to fire, set to a loop of spacious, psychedelic guitar and a rattling boom-bap beat.
Monjola says, “‘Big Fat Liar’ is fundamentally about trust. Putting your faith in the wrong person can have a detrimental effect on your well being and on the relationships. Not only does it affect you and the relationship but also affects any relationships that’ follow., romantic or otherwise. The song explores it from all aspects, initially from the hurt you feel and having to let go to finally accepting the fact that you’d been let down.”
‘Big Fat Liar’ was written by Monjola and was produced by his brother, Moyo. It is released on Chamomile Records, a label and creative hub co-founded by the two rising talents alongside another ascending artist in the shape of Aby Coulibaly.
