Biography

Brooklyn-based electro-pop singer-songwriter, Monica Ginestre, better known as Monica Lionheart, released her new album, Bodega Beat, on May 28, 2021. This album is the follow up to Lionheart’s successful Spanish/English album, Indian Summer, released on the Latin Alternative label, Nacional Records in 2012, which Pop Matters called “a compelling debut, one worthy of revisiting time and again.” As well as Monica’s 2nd solo record, Missed Connections. While her first album had a Latin alternative pop feel, listeners received something different with Missed Connections, which featured more upbeat, electronic-pop rock tracks. Produced by Steve Wall (Pearl and the Beard) with Dan Molad (of Lucius) and Ryan Alfred (of Calexico), Missed Connections featured hit singles like Run and Strangers, which Confront Magazine described as a "moody yet dreamy electronic-pop.” Bodega Beat is also getting rave reviews, including from Paste Magazine, who says the artist “brings a freshness to the electro-pop genre with her distinctive vocals that are both haunting and enchanting.” Be sure to check out Monica Lionheart’s new album, Bodega Beat, out May 28, 2021 and her first single “Baila” out on March 26, 2021.
