Have you ever had that moment, when you finally get over a breakup and ready to put yourself first again? Monora’s latest EP 99 is a homage to that feeling. Across four tracks, the artist blends chill pop rock melodies, catchy guitar work, and heartfelt songwriting into a project that explores themes of independence, heartbreak, and self-growth in a very optimistic way.
“Now I Know,” is chill and relaxed with soft guitars and a chill vibe. It eases you into the EP before drums and electric guitars gradually enter the mix, making it edgier. The theme of this track is about gaining clarity after a difficult chapter of heartbreak. This track sets the vibe of the EP very well.

Things get groovier on “Make It Only My Own.” It starts with a bass-heavy intro and a hard-to-resist, easygoing rhythm. Monora’s vocals are silky smooth as she delivers a message about personal freedom and refusal to be defined by romantic relationships. It’s confident, self-assured and mature.
The emotional core of 99 comes with “Broken.” It opens with a bittersweet guitar riff that instantly becomes an earworm. The song looks back on a relationship that has run its course. It is drenched in melancholy and extremely relatable to anyone who has experienced heartbreak. Monora blesses us listeners with an electrifying and melodic guitar solo in the outro, which really makes the track stand out in the EP. I think this is my favourite one so far. It gives the track an extra layer of edge that is hard to miss.
The closing track “What You Wanted” brings the most energy. It starts with an electrifying guitar groove before the song unravels its gritty, rock-oriented sound. Monora sounds powerful and confident here; her vocals match the track’s punchy attitude.
The EP succeeds because it knows exactly what it wants to say. With catchy hooks, tasteful guitar work, and themes that you might recognize from their own life, Monora’s 99 is relatable and deserves a spot in your daily playlist.
