Monika is back with a brand new album "Exit", two years after the pleasant surprise of "Avatar" which made her known to the public as the most talented young songwriter. "Exit" clearly states that Monika is here to stay, and masterfully manages to overcome the hurdle of the "difficult" second album. An atmospheric journey that connects the modern with the timeless and the rich feeling of Greek melodies with the sophisticated global pop scene.
Monika is more extrovert than ever, but still emotional and revealing in another highly personal work.[download][buy][myspace][last.fm]
