Jianda Monique - New Music - "Whole Heart"
Jianda Monique’s New Single “Whole Heart,” Continues An Extended Meditation Jam.
(August 2010, Boulder, CO – Contact: SugarMamaPR at: sugarmamapr @ yahoo.com)
Jianda Monique, whose single “Stay In Love,” among others, was recently featured in the full-length drama/comedy “Family” (Dir. Faith Trimel) is back in fine form…or yogic form, perhaps?
Often critiqued for the “songs in the round” structure of some of her previous tunes, including “Wish” (From Om Records’ noted Tenth Anniversary release, “Om Lounge 10″) and “Stay In Love,” Jianda Monique simply follows the muse, which continues to whisper sweet somethings to her like: Keep it simple. Keep it tribal. Keep it round.
“Song structure, western scales, pop song construction, while I love them and they sell records, they don’t take the place of the human heartbeat,” Jianda begins. “There was song as salve, song as celebration, song as ritual before song as structure, I’m sure of it.”
Jianda continues, “I like the tribal, loving, organic feeling I get when I’m chilling, tapping into Source, meditating. We can even have walking meditations, dancing meditations, and of course, dreaming, making love, making light, making life. Everything comes back to the heartbeat–the repetitive, consistent, insistent, persistent beat of the heart. I’ve decided to explore this more organic idea. Everyday, it feels like that’s just beginning, hence the name and the tone of the track–Whole Heart.”
Having attempted fundraising to record an album in the last few months, Jianda decided to take the new album idea one song at a time when the efforts stalled midway. “I’m grateful for those who offered up support, but Spirit has a different journey in mind apparently,” she continues. “Whole Heart” spoke to me, telling me it was time to begin again. Music heals, gets right to the heart of things for me. I needed to keep moving forward.”
Experimental to be sure, Jianda’s been in bands and written indie/alternative tracks, downtempo and dance music, neo-soul jams, and now, apparently meditative-yogic selections. Says Jianda: “I guess keeping it round means being well-rounded, too. I love art and artists from every walk of life, so why wouldn’t my art reflect that? My music’s moving in more of a meditative direction right now, and I’m happy to let that blossom and unfold for the Highest Good.”
An eclectic artist in her own right (often compared to everyone from Sade, to Tracy Chapman, to the Cocteau Twins), Jianda’s also a radio host at BlogTalkRadio, and a writer.
