Close to Monday Hits Near Perfection with ‘Stranger’, a Track That Binds and Beguiles

“Stranger” by Close to Monday

An Electro-Pop duo, dark and stirring in their creation, captivates us with their latest release, which we naturally wouldn’t want to withhold from you. Close to Monday continues their chosen path with their new release “Stranger,” leading us into the depths of love, where irresistible attraction becomes torment, and the desire to break free takes precedence
Dysfunctional relationships and their emotional turmoil serve as the theme. The instrumentation of “Stranger” sonically describes the tightrope walk of paradoxical obsession, longing, and the urge to escape. Melodies that seduce yet ignite a yearning for freedom. Ann’s vocals are characterized by their catchiness and simultaneously give a seductive voice to emotional torment
Producer Alexander knows precisely where and when each sound is needed to build tension or to let Ann take the lead. This irresistible combination turns “Stranger” into a track that fully plays out its musical allure and lyrical depth, captivating the listener for a long time. “Stranger” by Close to Monday is close to perfection!
