From the first tentatively diaphanous chords in Laurent Iacomucci’s entrancing EDM score, Monsters, you’re submerged into reflective submission. When the ethereal vocals enter and bleed even more emotion into the evocatively structured arrangement, your soul would have to be defunct not to feel the weight of the release, which lightens with the first iridescent build in the EDM pop production.
By choosing nuance over extremes, Laurent Iacomucci visualises the concept that we’re all trailed by shadows which haunt us, but what truly matters is whether we accept them and confront them instead of living a life of introspective persecution.
As the first single from the Luxembourg-based artist and producer’s debut LP, Chasing Monsters, ‘Monsters’ sets the tone for a collection of tracks that explores the universality of the struggles we face, the shadows we chase, and the hope that keeps us moving forward.
The emotional potency in ‘Monsters’ resonates through the subtle ebb and flow of the melodic transitions, making it impossible to ignore the confessional quality that underpins each verse and build.
Monsters will be available to stream on all major platforms from January 31st. Find your preferred way to listen via this link.
