For most of us, Monday is a grind—a reluctant push back into routine. For Scribbles Who, it’s a canvas. The rising alt-R&B artist turns the week’s most dreaded day into something hypnotic and almost spiritual on their latest single, “Monday.” Instead of leaning on clichés of hustle culture, the track explores the tension between ambition and exhaustion, creating a sound that feels both determined and deeply vulnerable.
Produced by Solarre and mixed by Maxime Morin, “Monday” layers pulsing rhythms with atmospheric textures, pulling listeners into a space where momentum and doubt coexist. The hook carries the drive of someone pushing forward despite fatigue, while the verses reveal cracks beneath the surface. Lines like “As I’m sitting on the edge of chaos / Darkest future in my mind” give the song a raw intimacy, grounding its smooth production in very human uncertainty.
That balance is intentional. Scribbles Who calls the track both a “chant” and a “quiet surrender”—a reminder that simply showing up can be its own form of artistry? Rather than glorifying burnout, “Monday” honors the discipline it takes to keep moving, even when motivation runs thin. It’s a song that doesn’t shout about resilience; it embodies it.
The mood is versatile yet consistent—equally suited for late-night headphone sessions or early-morning commutes. Wherever it’s played, the track feels like a pulse you fall into, a rhythm that mirrors the cycles of work, doubt, and renewal most of us know too well.
“Monday” also sets the stage for Scribbles Who’s upcoming album, Who I Am, arriving this fall. The project promises a broader exploration of persistence and self-discovery, pairing lyrical honesty with lush alt-R&B production. If this single is any indication, the record will offer not just songs but an atmosphere—a world that finds beauty in repetition and meaning in the everyday.
With “Monday,” Scribbles Who reframes the start of the week. It’s no longer just a grind; it’s a meditation on resilience, a sonic push forward, and a reminder that even routine can carry poetry.
