Julia Holter - Moni Mon Amie



The beginning of Moni Mon Amie is all lyrics and French-accented vocals until at some point in the song the music takes over in a slowly creeping way; it was always there, but it just builds up and takes control by the end. Both the vocals and the music make a certain romantic dream state appeal to this song, but a type that's lacking sleep. A surrealness that can only be shown through the soft encantationesque lyrics, but there's something eerily not right in the song as if the minor under tones have dark secrets. Not only is the music different and artistic, but this video is a beautiful translation of the childlike feel of the melody.
