Ria Barkr Drops R&B Inspirational Song “monday”

Friday, R&B singer-songwriter Ria Barkr unleashed her new single, “monday.” Ria is chill in the track but allows herself to open her thoughts to her listeners, enabling us to connect. There’s no rush or push to impress; she speaks the truth and provides transparency—all the reasons why “monday” is an impressive track.

There’s much talk about work in this piece, and it’s clear Ria doesn’t want to be doing the typical 9-to-5 bit—a reference to Dolly Parton’s “9-to-5.” Instead, Ria wants to use her vocal talents and perform. And she allows that dream to cloud her brain and eyes to where it’s difficult to focus on the job she’s supposed to focus on to help her get by. With her working a lot, she may not have the time to focus on that dream, so she sings about taking off on Monday, the day of the week we all hate, to focus on her music.

It’s genius of her to include examples of working but not being able to focus on the job. 

“A diet coke for an underaged and a round of shots for the girl engaged. Didn’t make a dime, I know I forgot your lime, but this job takes all my mind and my time. I wanna be singing the songs I wrote for my new record. Sorry the jack and coke doesn’t taste better.”

In addition to the brilliant lyrics, Ria lures in the listener through her soulful pipes. She doesn’t hold back in showcasing her vocal range, hearing her hit beautiful higher-ranged notes but also effortlessly gliding to the lower range while still sounding clear. 

Ria encourages her listeners to go after their dreams no matter what—a beautiful message—using her personal story of wanting to sing to serve the message.

Don’t wait! Go check out Ria’s song “monday.”
