She doesn't write characters. She writes chapters.
Motherhood, loss, faith, and the long work of becoming whole. Regina Monae sets her own life to soul and gospel, and every lyric and every vocal is hers. Nothing here is borrowed. All of it was lived.
She sings from the far side of the storm, not about it from a distance. The songs began in quiet rooms, on her knees, and they were written for the woman who is still in the middle of it.
"I'm not singing about survival from a distance.
I lived these songs first."
Released independently through RM Ransom Productions, the catalog keeps growing, one testimony at a time.
