Close to Monday – Stranger
2 min read
Close to Monday’s “Stranger” is a fascinating tour through the world of electronic music, combining groovy beats with ethereal vocals that remind us of Dido. The song draws the listener’s attention right away with its catchy rhythm and breaks. The singer’s melancholic yet strong voice lends an air of mystery, bringing memories of iconic pop vocalists from the past. The track’s synth melodies are interconnected throughout, revealing an electro sound that both respects Depeche Mode’s groundbreaking work and forges its own distinctive style. It is obvious that the music is experimental, with each layer adding to a rich, constantly-evolving auditory mosaic. The solo synth enters the scene at 1:33 and gives a thrilling performance with layers of sounds that range from acid synth lines to FM synth lines and beyond. This section of the song demonstrates to its depth and complexity and invites the listener to completely lose themselves in its aural universe. The song has a nostalgic tribute to the 1990s electro era throughout, bringing up images of energetic dance floors and pulsating sounds. However, Close to Monday succeeds in giving the genre a fresh perspective on life, making “Stranger” feel both classic and modern. “Stranger” is an engaging and energetic song that highlights Close to Monday’s skill as artists and trailblazers in the electronic music landscape.
