about

When a musical project is described as a work in progress, the assumption is that it’s too soon for audience presentation. But singer-songwriter Monique Barry has always charted her own maps and methods for creating and introducing new music to her listeners.

Monique is presenting her new album, HAAK, to the public as a series of singles, each released upon completion.

Uplifting in every level of performance, High as a Kite, like the other singles in this enticing song-by-song release, explores the highs and lows, the calming affinities, and the crazy progressions on the journey through experience. Advancing steadily and seductively to the pulse of acoustic and electronic drums, this bewitching new song takes an aerial but intimate view of the contrasts and contradictions of love, the multi-sided nature of affection, and the shared realities within human involvement. “Look into my eyes,” Monique sings beckoningly, inviting discovery and confrontation in her creative search through space and time. As the song builds, the flow of voice and music evolves into a billowing curtain of sound, spirit, rhythm, and atmosphere. Soothing keyboards join forces with weaving guitar licks, capturing a timeless, perfect moment of knowledge and contact within an uncertain world. Addressing realities belonging to all ages and levels of involvement, High as a Kite uses lyrics, music, tempo, and ambient soundscaping to capture and acclaim the recognition that comes with emotional awakenings.

Joining Monique in this new release are Marc Meriläinen(guitar), Alisdair Jones (bass), Emma Campbell (vocals), Anomalous Disturbances (ambient soundscape), and Michael Wojewoda (mixing/acoustic and electronic drums).
