On the color of rain, poet, musician, and activist aja monet delivers a powerful blend of spoken word, jazz, soul, hip-hop, and experimental sound. Following her Grammy-nominated debut, this ambitious second album expands her artistic vision, exploring themes of love, resistance, identity, and collective liberation through a deeply immersive sonic landscape.

Produced alongside an exceptional cast including Meshell Ndegeocello, Justin Brown, Mereba, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Mick Jenkins, Vic Mensa, and Brandee Younger, the album moves fluidly between intimate reflection and urgent social commentary. Monet’s distinctive delivery transforms poetry into music, allowing her words to breathe, sing, and resonate within richly textured arrangements.

At once political, spiritual, and deeply personal, the color of rain challenges convention while inviting listeners inward. It is a fearless work of artistic expression that blurs genre boundaries and reaffirms poetry’s enduring power to inspire, question, and connect.
