Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.

‘Loveliest of trees, the cherry now’ (1896) A.E. Housman

The Cherry Now

This wouldn’t sound out of place as a chart run down backing track, that’s the idea anyway.  I wrote this on the iPad using Korg Gadget v2, im heavily influenced by 80s bands like New Order, Heaven 17, Howard Jones, OMD etc

Blending left-field productions choices with lyrical storytelling, "Better Luck Next Time" is written from the perspective of a young man who has prioritised his career above everything else, so much so, he’s still trying to get a report out while his plane is going down. It's a disturbing analogy for humankind’s self-destructive behaviour and its consequences for the world's future set to the backdrop of buoyant, playful pop.

Shadow

Monique Barry keeps her eye on the hourglass and her talents in music’s time zone with her latest single

Time, as Tennessee Williams wisely told us, is the longest distance between two places—a perspective that singer-songwriter Monique Barry is more than prepared to support—and sing about. Always a musical innovator and a tuneful risk taker, Monique has often been ahead of her time, and shows no sign of falling behind. Ever since starting her musical career, she hasn’t just spent time—she’s also invested it in the evolution of her creative vision, as well as the exploration of her musical scope and diversity.

Monique’s newest single, Time, is the eighth and latest in a series of singles that’s slated to culminate in a completed album entitled HAAK.

A delicately atmospheric exploration of loss and connection, Time begins with a quiet, ghostly flair and a spellbinding background laced with breathy, faraway sighs (of someone who’s been running a great distance, it suggests, toward something…or away from it?) “Hope to see past your distance, it's dark and it's blue” she sings, gently reaching vocally through a caressing multilayered soundscape.

Also going the musical distance on Time are some of Monique’s most trusted and vibrant collaborators: Kevin Lacroix on guitar, Alisdair Jones on bass, Emma Campbell on vocals and Michael Philip Wojewoda on drums, vocals,  mix and co-production.
