Indie-pop husband-wife duo Grace & Moji deliver a compelling and introspective musical experience with their song โMonster.โ This energetic and catchy indie groove is accompanied by high and delicate vocals that seamlessly blend with the contagious music video, featuring disco balls being carried and angstfully danced underneath them in an empty room like a motif of self-presentation and self-reflection through the flickering lights of the neon glow.
At the heart of โMonsterโ lies a profound theme of self-awareness and self-acceptance of the monsters within us. Grace & Mojiโs descriptive and nonchalantly impactful songwriting, as in the lyrics like, โAll those meditations, self-explorations/Havenโt healed away the wounds/All the trips to Bali/Stayed in so many temples/But the shadow dominates my moods,โ skillfully conveys how mental challenges can persist even as we explore the world and experience incredible moments.
The high and delicate vocals in โMonsterโ carry a sense of vulnerability contrasted with the lighthearted tone, allowing listeners to jam to it simply for the musical goodness, if not for the heavy lyricism. Its chorus, with its catchy repetition of โIโm a monster,โ becomes an anthemic and subtly frustrated expression of the internal struggles we all face.
The duoโs blend of energetic instrumentation, catchy guitar riffs, including groovy rhythms and engaging melodies, with the engaging singing sets quite an attractive backdrop for the song.
With its infectious sound and introspective depth, โMonsterโ solidifies Grace & Mojiโs place in the indie-pop scene, leaving a lasting impression on our hearts, minds, and now even our eyes.
