Monika Ryan Shares Jazz Charm with “I’m Awfully Delighted”

Monika Ryan

Monika Ryan is back with her eloquent and frothy new single “I’m Awfully Delighted.” It’s a sterling example of how even “trad” jazz can sound both timeless and brilliantly new, never letting you forget that there is simply no expiration date on sophistication.

Ryan’s songwriting has always had a kind of playful flirtation, between philosophy and melody. Here, she works that dynamic into something gorgeous and polished. Her velvety voice glides over a chilled-out arrangement of upright bass, brushed drums and cozy piano chords that sway gently beneath her words. Every note sounds meaningful but also joyously spontaneous, a characteristic mark of real jazz artistry.

The song is what delight feels like. Listeners are taken on a journey of sharp lyrical wits, smoky jazz clubs pining for the 50s and candlelit corners but in such a way that feels decidedly modern. Confidence and a creative eye have made “I’m Awfully Delighted” an experience for the senses.

For the discerning hipster jazz lover seeking something real and timeless, Monika Ryan once more demonstrates that innovation can coexist with tradition. With “I’m Awfully Delighted,” she offers a return party to jazz smart, soulful and unblinkingly endearing.
