Myra Monoka - Drive

Drive - Myra Monoka (Pop/R&B) Myra Monoka is bringing that understated low key groove with latest track “Drive.” Myra beckons you come along with her on a euphoric escapade with a seductive rasp that reminds us modern day Miley. The song seems to defy genre—it’s certainly pop, with some sprinkling of 80s retro sounds, but at its heart we think of it much more of an R&B funk groove, a combo we definitely like. Just as seductive as her lead vocals, which have real gravity to them, Myra’s backing vocals—a lush choral wall that fills the space—are quite heavenly and give a tension and depth to the track. All in all, “Drive” is one one of those tracks you put on repeat.

Best Lyric: “The neighbors’ gonna hear when I come around.”
