Interviewed by Senior Music Editor Joseph Hudak, Monroe discussed the wide array of artists that currently resonate with her. When asked about her current playlist, Monroe explained, "I'll go from like Peggy Lee, 'Me and My Shadow,' to Lynyrd Skynyrd, 'Was I Right or Was I Wrong?' And then I'll go into Neil Young, and then I'll go into Beck. It's just whatever is making me go, 'Oh yeah!'" Her comments highlight a fluid and genre-agnostic approach to music appreciation, embracing everything from jazz standards and Southern rock to folk and alternative rock.
