Jamaican rising star Monifa Goss has made her name crafting uplifting dancehall pop around stunning vocals. Her debut EP release entitled Eve, out on 24th November on EMPIRE via Creed Music Global, is an emphatic confirmation of this emerging artist’s talents.

A seven–track EP that includes collaborations with Jamaica’s Daddy1 and Brazil’s Gabra, Eve has a mix of styles which underpin Monifa’s approach, ranging from full dancehall bangers to more poppy tracks, all boasting her impressively strong RnB vocals.

“When I started Eve I knew it had to be about female empowerment because that’s what Monifa

Goss goes hard for”, Monifa says of the EP. “I’m a feminist. I believe in women experiencing equality right across the board whilst winning and dominating like crazy and that’s why I called the EP Eve. I brought it back home to the first woman that ever walked on planet earth. She went through all the phases us women go through now in the present and I just thought that someone needed to pay her some homage.”

Opening track ‘Bad Gyal’ comes roaring out of the gate with an exuberant dancehall pop anthem, celebrating the original ‘Bad Gyal’ Eve. The track comes with a music video also dropping on 23rd November. Shot by Hue Wisdom, the video features the star partying up in the club, Gossy style. “The styling, choreography, makeup, hairstyling, filming, editing - it was just screaming Bad Gyal Gossy!” Monifa says of the video. “I just wanted to showcase what a true Bad Gyal was in the music vid whilst paying homage to my culture and I know for a fact that we aced it!”

Recent single ‘Outside’ follows, seamlessly mixing RnB and dancehall with a pop twist, showing off Monifa’s prowess as a vocalist and melody-maker. A melange of sunny harmonies and sublime synths, the track is a joyful break for freedom, documenting Monifa’s thoughts of longing during lockdown. Elsewhere on the EP, highlights include ‘Vibe’, the collaboration with rising Jamaican Dancehall artist Daddy1, and ‘The One’ featuring reggae musician Gabra. Monifa Goss aka “Gossy” was raised in Kingston, Jamaica in a small community, but with the goal of becoming a world-renowned international artiste. Aiming to be a “triple threat”, her style comprises a fusion of pop, dancehall, reggae, soul and trap, with inspiration coming from role models such as Rihanna, Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, Fantasia, Jazmine Sullivan, Lady Saw, Ikaya, Buju Banton and Spice.
