Known for blending humor and heartache in his music, King Monada takes a deeply introspective turn with “Depression.” The track doesn’t shy away from its emotional weight — it’s a raw, confessional Afro-pop ballad that speaks to the pain of mental struggles, loneliness, and life’s unpredictability.
Prince Kaybee recently appeared on Insurance featuring King Monada.
Monada’s unique vocal phrasing and signature Limpopo-style production are present, but here they serve a more serious message. Backed by melancholic synths and a subtle, rhythmic bounce, “Depression” feels like a personal letter, making space for emotional honesty in a genre often dominated by feel-good vibes.
The track stands out not just for its musicality, but for its bravery — bringing mental health to the forefront in a culturally resonant and musically accessible way.
