Bongo Boy Records proudly presents “The Cure For Envy,” the latest single from acclaimed songwriter and producer Monique Grimme. Inspired by the groundbreaking life and achievements of Marie Curie—the first woman to earn a PhD and win a Nobel Prize—this emotionally charged Americana track channels Curie’s resilience, brilliance, and collaborative spirit into a powerful anthem of hope, transformation, and emotional healing. Available now on Spotify and other major platforms, the single invites listeners to envision a world where jealousy and envy can be overcome through empathy, science, and human connection.
At its core, “The Cure For Envy” reflects Grimme’s imaginative wish to invent a remedy for corrosive emotions like jealousy—a metaphorical “pill” that could dissolve negativity and replace it with love and understanding. Drawing parallels between Curie’s pioneering work in radioactivity and the quest for emotional breakthroughs, the song celebrates ambition, partnership, and perseverance. Lyrics highlight Curie’s triumphs as victories of the human heart, emphasizing themes of working together, overcoming adversity, and pursuing something greater than oneself. The track’s Americana style blends heartfelt storytelling with melodic depth, making it a poignant tribute to one of history’s most inspiring figures.
“I often wish I could invent a literal remedy for jealousy and envy, like a pill that could dissolve these corrosive emotions and replace them with love and understanding,” says Grimme. “Just as Marie Curie’s research unlocked the secrets of radioactivity—a force both powerful and invisible—the song suggests that science and empathy could one day unlock answers to emotional struggles.”
Produced, composed, arranged, and written entirely by Grimme, “The Cure For Envy” was mastered at LANDR and Sapphire Star Studios in Frelinghuysen, New Jersey. The single’s ISRC is USPXQ2510201, and it is distributed through Bongo Boy Records. Fans can stream the track here, and watch the official music video below.
