Album Description

"Involution" is Monika Ryan's latest release, a musical meditation on the cycle of life's contraction and expansion. After taking a hiatus to start a family and departing from her more conventional jazz sound, Monika Ryan returns with a mosaic of music that transcends genres and explores the symbiotic relationship between contraction and expansion. This intelligent album showcases Monika's hallmark balance of intensity, sensitivity, and humor. The album's soundscape is bold and incorporates elements from various genres, including hard rock and roll, folk music, and even reggae, making it a concept album that is both diverse and cohesive. Monika Ryan's "Involution" is a dynamic and compelling musical journey that challenges the boundaries of traditional genre and explores new frontiers in sound and style.
