Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Gabriel Teodros, host of Early on KEXP, is "CEREAL (feat. MMYYKK)" by Ricki Monique, from the 2022 GOOD SEEDS EP on Tangible Records.
Minneapolis-based artist Ricki Monique teams up with producer/multi-instrumentalist on today's Song of the Day, a serene, soulful track she wrote to boost her confidence.
“This song was created as a sonic affirmation to remind me that I was built to be great," she told Lyrical Lemonade. "I put affirmations from my mother and sisters in the hook and brought up feelings of depression and hardships in the first verse to portray a sense of everything-ness. I am both powerful and weak at times. I wrote this song to remind myself to lean into my strong parts.”
