Garnishing international praises for her 2011 debut album Unbroken, as well a number of hits on the charts across Europe, British vocalist Monique returns with her new single “The Gift”, inspired by her 2014 pregancy. Organically enchanting, the acoustic-lead track pairs with heavyweight hits by Indie Arie and Corinne Bailey Rae.

In a press statement regarding “The Gift”, Monique wrote:

“People warned me about getting pregnant and the detrimental effect it could have on my career. This made me anxious and reluctant at times to embrace motherhood, despite my desire for a family. Now, that anxiety no longer remains. Instead I am honoured to have this opportunity and am expectant of the joys being a parent will bring despite the challenges.”
