"Monalisa" by Beniikay– A Bold Afrobeat Groove About Knowing Your Worth
With "Monalisa," rising artist Beniikay delivers a vibrant Afrobeat track that’s as bold in message as it is addictive in rhythm. At first listen, it’s easy to get swept up in the breezy instrumentals and feel-good vibes, but underneath the groove lies a story of strength, self-respect, and emotional clarity.
The song paints a narrative of a young man refusing to give in to the demands of a woman who’s asking too much. In a world where pressure often disguises itself as love, Monalisa flips the script. Instead of playing the fool for affection, Beniikay’s character stands firm, choosing peace over pretense. It’s a subtle but powerful message: knowing your worth never goes out of style.
Sonically, Monalisa checks every Afrobeat box with layered instrumentals that keep your head bopping and your body moving. It’s the kind of track that lives comfortably on any good-vibes playlist, whether you're cruising through the city or hosting a backyard party.
What sets the track apart is Beniikay’s smooth vocal delivery, which brings just the right blend of charm and confidence. There’s a lightness in the performance, a sense of playful resistance, as if to say: “I could give in, but I know better.” That balance of swagger and substance gives Monalisa its edge.
Lyrically, the song touches on relationship dynamics that are all too familiar, but rarely discussed from this angle. It’s not angry or bitter, it’s simply honest. And that honesty, paired with such infectious energy, makes Monalisa not just a banger, but a statement.
As Beniikay continues to carve out his sound, Monalisa proves he’s not afraid to bring both groove and growth to the table. This track is a testament to the power of Afrobeat as a genre that can move you—emotionally and physically.
