Little Monarch Releases New Single 'Tears'

Songwriter/producer Little Monarch shares her whimsical new single “Tears” and an accompanying music video. The vibey tune combines pieces of soul, jazz, and indie pop to create a sunshine filled sonic reminder to let go of control and find your own place in the flow.  

“Tears” opens with a laid back, mellow essence. Tranquil guitars mesh with Little Monarch’s airy vocals to form a warm, inviting tone. As the track builds so does the soulfulness as a molten guitar line comes vibrantly alive. Finally cresting to a frenetic peak “Tears” unfolds allowing the crunchy guitar riff, rattling snares, and a tinkling piano to form the perfect symphonic finale. Little Monarch holds nothing back vocally as she croons “I won’t run from my desires / won’t you come my way?” 

Little Monarch says this about the new single:

"'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. Sunshine coming and soaking up all your tears.  More of a mantra and meditation on days spent in Los Angeles dreaming, losing, spilling all kinds of tears then surrendering and letting it all be absorbed by another sunbent day."

In the track’s accompanying music video Little Monarch soaks up some sun as she cruises through Los Angeles in a champagne colored convertible with cherry red interior. 

Along with releasing new music 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.
