being the only person who has truly helped her in the industry. Mónica affirms that her next album may very well take a decade to complete if need be. She does not believe in rushing records just to sell them as her integrity as an artist is much more important to her; she stated that albums should be carefully crafted and that they should be given love and time to know what the direction of the album should be. Mónica feels that the 5 years invested were extremely worth the time and that she is truly satisfied with the fine work that Tarantula has become. She admits to being very aware that the album has a dark tone, but also a magical touch at the same time that captures you by transcending you on a journey to another world. In this album reality was said to be a key ingredient and not just empty words often used like "I love you, I love you." 40 Songs were composed and recorded for Tarantula, 11 making the final cut. Once the songs were finished they were tied together with interludes, helping the listener be captured seamlessly in Tarantula'''s world, without a second of silence. Monica states that the album cover has the same intent as the album. She said "it's as if you enter a circus tent and you find a woman that you don't know whether she's half human or half animal."
