Atlanta’s own Monica is back, and she is singing like a woman who means every single word. FreddyO caught her performing “Everything to Me” live at Traxx Atlanta over MLK weekend, and she had that whole room in the palm of her hand. When Monica grabs a microphone, you do not talk and you do not text — you listen.
“Everything to Me” is the first single from Monica’s upcoming album Still Standing, and it is the kind of record that reminds you why we fell in love with her voice in the first place. Built around a classic Deniece Williams sample, it is a grown-woman love song about the one person who holds her down. After everything Monica has been through in the public eye, this album is personal — and this performance proves it.
Traxx was packed for MLK weekend, one of the biggest party weekends of the year in Atlanta, and Monica gave the home crowd a moment they will not forget. Dressed to kill, with a room full of fans singing along to every word, she delivered the record with the runs, the riffs and the raw emotion that have made her one of R&B’s most respected voices since she was a teenager singing “Don’t Take It Personal.”
Press play above and watch Monica do what only Monica can do. Still Standing is on the way — tell us in the comments: is “Everything to Me” already a classic Monica record?
