monarch. – In the Mood [Single]

Hailing from Brooklyn, the band monarch. is causing a stir with their newest track, “In The Mood.” This sultry song doesn’t hold back, venturing into the depths of longing and desire, offering listeners a tempting voyage through the world of affection and magnetic attraction.

Front and center in “In The Mood” is the inviting voice of lead singer Sarah Hartstein. She opens the song with an invitation, softly crooning “Why don’t you come a little closer?” When she sings, there’s a spellbinding quality to her voice that invites you to listen with ease. A subtle smokiness percolates in her delivery, adding layers of sensuality to her performance. As the lyrics confess, “You’ve got me in the mood, ’cause I’m in love with everything you do,” Sarah‘s performance goes beyond merely showcasing her vocal mastery alone; it’s a deeply personal and almost cathartic experience. There’s no overstating the impact of her smoldering performance, which is sure to cast a lasting spell, ensuring you won’t forget it anytime soon. 

“this sizzling track explores the depths of desire and intimacy, taking listeners on an emotional journey through the sensual landscape of love and attraction.”

\The beat and arrangement of “In The Mood” are a mesmerizing fusion of jazzy elements and indie pop vibes. If there is a co-star to this show it is the energetically dancing Fender Rhodes work of guest artist Darius Beckford. It swirls like a whirlwind while Sarah‘s vocals maintain unbroken eye contact with the listener, drawing us closer with every note. The drums provide a shifted heartbeat that keeps everything moving forward, while the bass and bluesy guitar jots add a percussive edge to the sound, making it all but impossible not to groove along to this song.

While monarch. may be a set of fresh faces on the scene, they have proven that they know how to make a sexy and intensely cool track right up there with the best of them. With their sultry sound and Sarah Hartstein‘s magnetic vocals, this genre-blurring indie troupe from BK has certainly staked its claim as a band to watch closely. Keep your ears tuned for more brilliance from this band.
