About MONO
This spring K.Flay announced her fifth studio album MONO - due out September 15th via Giant Music. The LP is her first for the label and first since going suddenly and completely deaf in her right ear at the end of last summer - a freak occurrence her doctors deemed permanent. She almost quit making music, but upon returning to the studio she found her sense of purpose profoundly renewed. “I felt an urgency I hadn’t experienced in quite some time,” she reveals. “It was like this massive sensory change had put me back into a beginner’s mind, where I felt so free but also compelled to put everything I had into making it great.” Although K.Flay’s hearing loss deeply informed her songwriting on MONO, the album marks the start of a new era for the artist who explores an entire spectrum of existential questions and complex matters of the heart and mind on the LP. K.Flay co-produced MONO and enlisted Paul Meany (Twenty One Pilots, Shania Twain) to executive produce. The 14-song project mines the depths of her psyche to uncover essential truths about the pain of loss and the power of transformation.
