The track showcases a really engrossing chemistry between the two exciting artists
Effortlessly cool and packed full of a biting, relatable appeal, ‘Monster’ is a compelling new collaboration from colby! and Shaya Zamora that delves into the dynamics of a toxic relationship and the inability of the participants to break away from each other, no matter how bad they are for each other.
The resonating nature of the familiar narrative and their slick sound and obvious chemistry makes for a instantly likeable track that feels as catchy and inviting as its themes are problematic. So many of us have been in relationships that we’ve known we shouldn’t be in or that isn’t allowing us to thrive or be our best self, and this track perfectly encapsulates that feeling and the confliction that comes with trying to navigate it while knowing that you won’t leave or let go.
“‘Monster’ is about two people stuck in a toxic relationship. They don’t bring out the best in each other, and they know it, but for some reason, they can’t let go—or even try to become better for one another. One day I got a text from Shaya Zamora with a little audio file and a message that just said, ‘Hey, what do you think about this song idea?’ It was just a verse and chorus idea, but I loved it right away.” – colby!
