Monique Grimme’s latest single – I Will Be Alright – blends cinematic pop with a compelling story of positivity and perseverance. Crafted in collaboration with Sapphire Star Studios, the singer-songwriter and label owner of Bongo Boy Records conjures an atmosphere that feels as if the legendary Hans Zimmer joined forces with an early-career Rihanna; upbeat and punchy pop atmospheres lined by choirs, grit, and a phenomenally driven spirit, flitting between tenderness and a contagious sense of personal power.
Hints of Jess Glynn and Florence + The Machine emerge through rich and soulful vocals, while the official music video fleshes out the track’s soul-cleansing themes of recovery, evolution, and indomitable strength.
But what does it all mean? And from where was inspiration drawn? The answer might surprise you…
I Will Be Alright was conceptualised after Monique Grimme finalised a Zoom call with one half of Milli Vanilli – Fab Morvan. After reflecting on the star’s personal journey, resilience, and deathless sense of optimism in the face of the group’s 90s lip-sync scandal, Monique re-routed Fab’s personal mantra, “I will be alright,” to form the backbone of her new single.
As Monique tells us herself, “I Will Be Alright is both a tribute to Fab Morvan’s inspiring journey and an anthem for dreamers everywhere. The single is dedicated to those who refuse to let go of their aspirations, echoing Morvan’s resilience and his message of hope.”
The idea is executed perfectly; Monique’s brand new track is a testament to willpower and unbreakable self-belief, from its lyrics to its soundscape, right through to its vibrant vocal delivery. Our verdict? Highly Recommended.
