A review of MONEKY MAJIK's fourth single, Picture Perfect.
MONKEY MAJIK’s fourth single, Picture Perfect, is a collaboration with m-flo and welcomes a leisurely pace within an instant.
Picture Perfect, the premiere song, entices the listener automatically. Pleasant acoustic riffs introduce the song in a laid-back manner, combining elements of Japanese music and English mainstream pop with an edge. Powerful English lyrics, similar to Maroon 5’s, merges with Japanese as m-flo raps in both languages. A faint jazz vibe is suggested within the flow of the track. Towards the end of the song, m-flo keeps it fresh.
Pretty People continues the mood from the previous track. It is smooth and catchy in nature and builds up the easy-going atmosphere even more. Projecting a ‘feel good’ message, the track dictates a happy sound.
The final track, Red Dress, is quite the love song. Though still continuing in the same musical endeavors as the first two tracks, the song tells a story of a man - or series of men - enchanted by a woman in an enticing red dress and the unrequited emotions following such an experience. Caramelized falsetto tones flavor the emotions in the concluding piece in a relaxed manner.
All in all, Picture Perfect is a short collection of songs to relax to on a Sunday afternoon, curled up with a book. Music fans from around the world will enjoy MONKEY MAJIK’s audible creations.
