Queen of All the Dark (Nu-Disco • Funk • Soul • Deep House • Ambient) – Monika XYZ

A love letter for the nights that almost swallowed me whole. In “Queen of All the Dark” the darkness is a living thing – a quiet, heavy presence that knows every ghost, every secret, every tired tear. She wraps herself around my fears like a velvet sky, chains my ankles, whispers that I’ll never run, never escape. But there is one thing she can’t rule over. Your voice, your touch, your eyes – that fragile, stubborn light that keeps gleaming even when the night is screaming. Every time I start to sink, your love pulls me back, gathers my broken pieces and turns them into tiny stars. This song is about dancing with the shadows, feeling them on your skin… and still choosing the one person whose love is stronger than the queen of all the dark. 🖤 🎤 Credits 🎤 Written & Performed by: Monika XYZ 🎧 Produced by: Monika XYZ 🎨 Visual concept & design: Monika XYZ © COPYRIGHT NOTICE © 2025 Monika XYZ.
