Richard Green flips the script on the worst day of the week with “Happy Monday”

Monday has gotten a long overdue update from emerging artist Richard Green, who has just released his latest single “Happy Monday.” In a world where the onset of the workweek is too often approached with cries and anxiety, here to change the shape of mind with an irrepressible beat is Richard. Made in the comfort of his London home studio, “Happy Monday” is the equivalent of waking up and genuinely wanting to start your week. It’s immediately clear that Richard is an artist who cares deeply about intention. He was attempting to devalue the old Monday storyline, and he does so with a great deal of charm.

The song’s rhythmic thrust, laid down with finesse in an Italian studio, makes for tight drums and a bass line that bounces with personality. It’s this collaboration that flavors the song with a hint of homemade and a touch of European finesse. It’s powered by Richard’s vocals, which come in like a ray of sunlight, remaining positive without turning saccharine. “Happy Monday” is a type of song that showcases music’s ability to shift your perspective, making it still relevant. Through that terrible morning commute, that Zoom meeting you’ll undoubtedly regret while waking up the next day, this is your new secret weapon.

As Richard himself may put it, it was a simple task to make a fun and uplifting tune. But beyond the catchy hook and slick production, “Happy Monday” is also a moment of sexual honesty, evidence that good vibes and serious music don’t have to be mutually exclusive. So next time you find yourself cursing the calendar, let “Happy Monday” flip your script. It might just be the song you didn’t know your week needed. “Happy Monday” is out now on all major streaming platforms. Get your week off to a smile. Richard’s got the soundtrack all ready for you.
