Singer-songwriter and producer Little Monarch – the brainchild of LA-based multi-talented artist Casey – has released her whimsical new single “Tears” and its accompanying music video is thoroughly explored through this vibey tune, which seamlessly blends elements of soul, jazz, and indie pop, delivering a sun-drenched sonic experience that urges us to let go of control and find our own place in the flow.
The journey of “Tears” begins with a laid-back, mellow essence. Tranquil guitars intertwine with Little Monarch’s airy vocals, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. As the track progresses, the soulfulness intensifies, with a molten guitar line bursting into vibrant life. Building to a frenetic peak, “Tears” unravels with a crunchy guitar riff, rattling snares, and a tinkling piano, culminating in a symphonic finale that leaves a lasting impression.
Little Monarch fearlessly embraces her vocal prowess as she croons the empowering lyrics, “I won’t run from my desires, won’t you come my way?” The song showcases her ability to convey raw emotion while maintaining an ethereal quality. Reflecting on the single, Little Monarch describes it as a “comeback song” set against a richly layered production. It captures the essence of Los Angeles, with its dreamlike days, emotional ups and downs, and the surrender to the healing power of the sun.
“‘Tears’ is really a comeback song up against a complex and growing bed of colorfully driven production. Like an old car starting up and then eventually coasting at 70.” — Little Monarch
In the accompanying music video, Little Monarch basks in the warm California sun as she cruises through the streets of Los Angeles in a champagne-colored convertible with a cherry red interior. The visual perfectly complements the song’s sunny vibes, offering a picturesque backdrop to the musical journey.
“Tears” and her captivating live performances, Little Monarch solidifies her place as an emerging talent to watch, bringing a refreshing and enchanting sound to the music scene. Little Monarch is currently supporting Gracie Abrams as part of the band on her The Good Riddance Tour, which includes multiple opening act performances for Taylor Swift on the Eras stadium tour.
