Monifah is letting everybody know that it’s okay for her to be alone with her thoughts every once and a while.

The track, which mixes smoother R&B tones with a more EDM bassline, has the singer explaining why being in touch with yourself is not a bad thing.  “It speaks to the heart of a very basic need we all share.  The need to access that place inside of ourselves, be alone, quiet the ‘noise’ and tune into the voice of our creator,” she explained of the song, which was written and produced by herself and Quennel Worthy.  “When you take time to slow down, be still and listen, this is when your creativity and healing have a chance to flourish.  I’m sharing my personal wake-up call with the world.  One Moment is my open letter.”

Monifah hasn’t released an album since 2000’s Home.  Here’s hoping this is omen of things to come.
