has developed a sound that blends deep rolling grooves, soulful textures, delicate musicality and moments of genuine emotional weight. Across the album he moves effortlessly between late-night introspection, euphoric warmth and darker, more experimental territory, showcasing an artist fully confident in his own sonic identity.\n\nHaving already made a strong impression through previous releases on Spearhead and appearances across the label’s 20-year anniversary campaign, How We Saw Forever feels like a major step forward creatively. From the haunting beauty of “What Turns Your World” featuring Oktae, through to the nostalgic rave energy of “Mango Pop” and the weightier pressure of “Syndicate”, the album captures Monika’s ability to balance emotion, atmosphere and dancefloor impact without ever feeling formulaic.\n\nAt its core, How We Saw Forever is an album about atmosphere, memory and emotion, music designed equally for solitary headphone moments and packed dancefloors at sunrise. There’s a cinematic thread running throughout the project, but also a raw honesty that gives the album its real depth.\n\nSpeaking about the album, Monika says:\u2028“This project became a reflection of so many different seasons of life over the last few years. Some tracks came from really emotional places, others were written purely from joy and escapism, but together they tell the story of where I’ve been creatively and personally. I wanted the album to feel immersive, something people could disappear into.”\n\nReleased via BCee’s Spearhead Records — a label long celebrated for championing soulful and emotionally rich drum \u0026amp; bass. How We Saw Forever marks another exciting chapter for both Monika and the wider Spearhead family.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spearhead","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56421676679547,"sku":"SPEAR313","price":21.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/7317\/4665\/files\/spear313.jpg?v=1789636925","url":"https:\/\/planetwax.net\/products\/spear313","provider":"Planet Wax","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
