About MP3

MP3 features a cohesive and dynamic collection of genre-blending tracks, including previously released singles “Concrete Streets,” “Hopeless,” “Revolution,” “Charlie’s Story,” and “Foxtail.” It also includes a new single, “Lucky,” a catchy track that explores the various masks we wear in different environments, whether to blend in, please others, or satisfy personal desires, reflecting the deeply human need for acceptance.

“I come across a lot of people who embrace the ‘fake it ’til you make it’ mentality, especially with social media and having to always be ‘on’ and ‘camera ready’,” says Michelle Mondesir, the band’s lead singer and lyricist. “It’s a cry for authenticity at all costs, an urging from those who love you for who you are and to embrace every part of you as an individual”

Thematically, MP3 delves deep into the emotional, psychological, and social landscapes of modern life. The band covers a wide spectrum of the human experience, from systemic issues like racism and capitalism to intimate reflections on mental health, relationships, and personal resilience. With themes ranging from inner strength, emotionality, and self-care to grief, suicide, and mental illness, the album acts as both a personal reflection and a broader conversation.

“The world has gone through a lot and we wanted to create an album that acts as a reflection of the times,” says Mondesir. “It is also meant to take you inward, understanding who you are, and then stepping out to interact with the world around you in a meaningful way.”
