Mon Rovîa (@monroviaboy) is a Liberia-born, Tennessee-based Afro-Appalachian Folk artist. Not too long ago, he unveiled his poignant new single, “crooked the road.,” and announced his signing to Nettwerk Music Group.
Mon Rovîa – “crooked the road.” Lyric Video
“crooked the road.” explores the complex relationship between pain and identity, tracing the emotional journey of someone so entwined with their suffering that it becomes their very essence. Despite this deep entanglement, the song is tinged with a subtle undercurrent of hope.
“This is a song for those who have fallen too in love with their pain,” Mon Rovîa stated. “I was there a couple of years back before I became Mon Rovîa. I was in love with my suffering. It became who I knew myself as. Because of this, I couldn’t see the hands that had been extended to lift me out. Ones that were longing to see me become who I was meant to be. For the listener, I hope they find freedom, I hope they find the strength to pull away from what brings them down. The song is for all of us who thought in our darkest moments, ‘this is who I am.’”
