A new year means new beginnings and for Arianna Hicks, that statement carries quite a bit of weight. Chasing after new desires, ARI is eager to make her musical debut. Taking her talents beyond the social media influencer realm there's no denying the luxuriance aura in ARI’s voice. With “Nothin but a Monster,” ARI allows her audience to see another surface of talent that has never been seen before. Choosing music as a platform to express herself, this single exhibits her fiery and intimate lyricism. Unable to get past the striking songwriting, the soulful background permits listeners to find an immediate connection with the song.
“I want to convey honesty in my music and Toronto has always had a way of bringing out this hollow/lonely feeling in me. I wanted to write about it as if it’s this monster that keeps finding a way to get me. I find a lot of people here seem to feel caged by the atmosphere, I know I certainly have my whole life, so I’ve been wanting to write this song for a very long time.” - ARI
