Monjola Shares Introspective Single ‘Weight On Me’ After 423-Day Pause

After 423 days without new music, Monjola has returned with “Weight On Me,” a single that captures a moment of internal reckoning. The Nigerian-born, Dublin-raised artist—a key figure in Ireland’s music scene and co-founder of the Chamomile Club—penned the track with longtime collaborators Dan Briskin and Saint De Marcus.

The song is supple and soulful, built around lyrics that read like a private confession. Monjola describes it as “almost like a diary entry or a voice note to someone I didn’t fully trust yet. It sits somewhere between a confession and an internal argument with myself.” That tension between restraint and vulnerability gives the track its weight, a direct reflection of a period of personal upheaval.

The release arrives with a visualiser directed by Sean Serudi. For Monjola, the single signals a deliberate, unguarded return—no fanfare, just the sound of someone sorting through unresolved thoughts in real time.
