Sharlene-Monique’s “Awe & Wonder” featuring Billy Crabtree from her Destiny EP is a soothing but festive reminder to never get lost in mundane concerns. The EP comes after her single “You” streamed over 100,000 times on Spotify and the video won Best Inspirational and Music Video at the Jump Music Video Awards 2017. The London singer, dancer and teacher is happy to release Destiny after such a strong reaction to “You.” She says, 

“It feels amazing to finally release my songs. I’ve had messages from people all over the world who heard ‘You’ and have asked for more music. I feel proud and passionate about every song and I hope people can connect to them.”

The video follows the journey of a young Black girl who grows up struggling to develop her self-confidence. Sharlene-Moniqué offers encouragement to the girl who becomes a woman in the capacity of her vocal coach. The artist also gave some background on “You”;

“I’m really excited to be releasing music that I feel so passionate about. I really hope people connect with the message of the song. The video stirred up so many emotions inside because it reflects elements of my past.”

Sharlene-Moniqué, who is based in London, is planning to independently release her debut EP later this year.
