Album Review: Your absence, a closeness

[News]

Your absence, a closeness, is a project riddled with lyrics about hurt feelings and mixed emotions; however, despite the negative emotion the album evokes, the future is positive for Monica Moser.

The eight song album opens with the title track, which is an instrumental piece layered with vocals, evoking an intimate and sobering vibe that remains throughout the entire project.

Of the eight tracks on Your absence, a closeness, the two that stick out the most are “This Ache” and “Paralyze,” two tracks that show the promise of the young artist. The tracks both display the talent and range of Monica’s vocals as well as showcase her ability to produce tracks that contain high production quality. “Paralyze,” in particular, shows Monica’s ability to produce lyrics that are not only catchy, but resonate well with her audience, a feat that not many artists can live up to.

If there was a negative that had to be picked out through Monica’s project, it would be the similarity of all of her tracks. Leaving out “This Ache” and “Paralyze,” the rest of her project gels almost too well together, causing the listener to feel as if they are listening to the same song over and over. However, I believe this song similarity was evoked due to the short project length, which caused Monica to play to her strength, which happens to be creating strong, slow, and emotional tracks.

Your absence, a closenessshowcases the ability of Monica Moser to be something more than an up and coming artist. With this short album, she has set herself up to be a rising star in a music industry that needs more heartfelt and personal lyrics. Look out for Monica Moser.

Your absence, a closeness arrives October 5th on all music streaming services.
