Norwegian songwriter and artist Andrea Nord captures pop perfection with this creative and deeply reflective new single.
Built around a quirky and spacious riff, with fiercely versatile vocals, Monsters presents a notably personal yet also broadly relatable account of the negative thoughts and self-scorn that often consumes us.
Featuring a distinctly upbeat arrangement, complete with smooth verses and a quicker, catchier hook to juxtapose that calmness, Monsters has the makings of a classic pop hit. The professionalism and performance are second to none, and at the same time, the subject matter and revealing depth of the song offer a much-needed twist of realism and darkness that’s incredibly refreshing.
For those who’ve felt overwhelmed by their own struggles with self-belief or confidence, the song progresses from darkness to possibility in a way that’s inspiring and memorable. Weave in an infectious groove and a hook that will no doubt go down a treat at live shows, and Andrea Nord is onto a winner. We even get a little Santana-like solo during the final quarter. What’s not to love?!
