2 of Us
Platinum-selling, Grammy and Juno-nominated songwriter and producer Monro has released his latest single “2 of Us”, a spellbinding track that explores the fragile balance between love, hope and heartbreak.
Blending dusky synths with off-kilter drums, the track creates a warm yet fractured soundscape, echoing the uncertainty at the core of its lyrics. Monro describes it as “a journey through a conversation in a relationship… it’s pain and hope in one song, touching on the delusion of thinking something can work when you know it’s already broken.” His confessional vocal delivery captures intimacy in limbo, like a voice note recorded in the middle of the night.
The release comes with a powerful visual and marks the beginning of a new chapter for the artist. While Monro has built his reputation behind the scenes working with Jhené Aiko, Rico Nasty, V (BTS), NewJeans, Adekunle Gold, Masego and Nines, he is now stepping forward to share his own stories. Raised just outside London and moving fluidly between the UK and Los Angeles, his sound draws from grime, garage, classical film scores, 2000s pop, hip-hop and R&B—shaping a musical identity that defies boundaries.
Already championed by Apple Music playlists such as New In Electronic and New Music Daily, as well as BBC Introducing, Monro’s solo material has surpassed 260,000 streams. With “2 of Us”, he leans further into his most revealing work yet, cementing himself as an artist whose music resonates as deeply as the stories behind it.
