As a project that focuses on love, relationships and emotional rollercoaster, it’s so easy to rehash the same thing without knowing. However, Zel Monstrous approach demonstrates his versatility and songwriting proficiency as he gives us different facets of what he is going through. On the punchy “EVERYTHING” featuring Sean Elliot, he reminds us that dark clouds and sad times should not let us lose our focus as we move towards our goals. The last two tracks, “BATLES” and “UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,” help bring the project full circle. The former is a smooth, soulful track that explores human resilience and faith in an unforgiving world. From fighting seen and unseen battles, Zel Monstrous shows that with the right mindset and spirit, hope is never lost. The latter is a sad and moody track that sees Zel penning a letter to his future wife. Backed by a soft guitar-driven backdrop with soulful tones, he details a scenario of meeting the love of his life and the experiences that lead to a successful relationship and possibly marriage. Vocally, we must acknowledge Zel’s knack for melodies; he doesn’t try to oversing or execute unattainable runs, but rather, he does just enough to accomplish the task.
Overall, Until We Meet Again is a blissful piece that brings together candid, heartfelt songwriting with soulful beats and a universal theme that everyone can relate to.
