After 2 years and over 800.000 streams on Spotify, Man vs Monkey is back! But “Alright” isn’t just a release like any other. It marks the beginning of a new chapter: the first single of the duo’s upcoming album “Monkey Moment”. The song’s story revolves around a topic that many are familiar with: Separating from a loved one to go a different path – only to find out you’re still tied after all.

The story is recorded as a male-female duet of two up-and-coming artists: Flo Fin, whose fragile yet expressive voice perfectly blends in with Monique Mathis’. Musically, the song starts out rather dark and melancholic but builds up to be more and more energetic. As the song progresses the vocalists show all their skills making the song end on a high note, literally. But enough talking – listen to “Alright” yourself!

Man vs Monkey - Alright

Don´t you feel the monkey inside?

It was a crazy “Hangover”- like night out in the city of Vienna. Strolling through bars and clubs, Dan and his friends had lots of fun playing around with a monkey mask and learning a little too much about the dark side of life that night. The friends and musicians decided to let this night be the starting point of a new era: Man vs Monkey was born.

The Austrian songwriters, producers and DJ duo who have their roots in Pop and Alternative Rock with over 200 songs written, are now building the bridge between the genres of pop and dance, letting their roots influence their new style. Organic “real” instruments are added to the electronic sound of Daniel Logar (aka Dan the Man) and Funky Monkey to give their music its emotional base. Lyrically, their songs revolve around the classic black and white theme of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. They play with the both sides of mankind – the bright and lively, as well as the dark and sinister one. Man vs Monkey ironically put those in the stocks who behave conceited and consider themselves superior. The monkey mask underlines their story visually and shows that ultimately, there is a crazy monkey waiting to be unchained inside everyone of us.
