Mono (stylized in all caps) is the fifth studio album by American musician K.Flay, released via Giant Music on September 15, 2023.[1][2] Inspired largely by her 2022 diagnosis of labyrinthitis and subsequent total deafness in her right ear, Mono is primarily a rock album that continues K.Flay's trend of departing from her earlier hip hop sound.

Overview

On April 26, 2023, K.Flay released the album's first track, "Raw Raw", along with its accompanying music video.[3][4] The track had been teased on her social media pages in the weeks prior to its release. The song heavily features the theme of vulnerability, which K.Flay said was inspired by her 2022 diagnosis of labyrinthitis and sensorineural hearing loss in her right ear.[5] She said, "I wanted to capture what vulnerability really feels like. Outwardly it might seem tender, but on the inside it's messy and bloody and somewhat terrifying. It's a chainsaw buzzing at your throat."[4] In May, she teased the second single "Shy" by playing snippets on Instagram Live and performing the song while on tour with Grandson.[6] The song was released on June 7.[7][8][9][10]

On June 6, the day before "Shy" was released, K.Flay announced that her upcoming album would be called Mono (inspired by her aforementioned deafness) and revealed the album's cover, track list, and release date of September 15.[11][12][13]

The third single from the album, "Irish Goodbye", was released on August 17.[14][15] The fourth single, "Punisher", was released with an animated music video on the same day as the album.[1][2][16]

Reception

Mono was released to mainly positive reviews.[17][18][19][20][21] A writer for New Noise Magazine called it an "incredible" record, praising it for being "[K.Flay's] most cohesive and vulnerable album to date".[17]
