Moncrieff’s newest single, Shangri-La, describes the highs and thrills of a romantic relationship. It is an upbeat, dance pop and adult contemporary song about moments you spend with the person you are in love with. This standard human feeling keeps a lot of us going on a daily basis. Most of us have been in love at least once in our lifetime so we know that exact feeling of euphoria. I would also suggest to watch the music video because it matches the theme of the song perfectly. It shows him running through the fields, dancing around the room with his lover, growing wings, and flying into the clouds. Love makes you feel like you can never come down off that high. Shangri-La starts with an energetic, fun beat. Then his strong, soulful voice smoothly flows in over the drums in the first chorus. Both the first and second choruses use lyrics like “In the purple haze, I’m lying with you half awake”, “You're the only film in my cinema”, “Just a teenage dream on a movie screen”, and “You give me those eyes and I can't resist” that portray a perfect utopia. The chorus is the kind of irresistible music that makes you break out into dance anytime and anywhere. The bridge repeats sha-la-la-la-la-la four times before it jumps back into the infectious chorus for one final round of euphoria. Because it ends with the same energetic beat it starts with, it makes you want to listen over and over again. This makes the replay value incredibly high. I would highly recommend you add it to your playlist. I already have! Moncrieff, whose real name is Chris Beheny, is a singer/songwriter hailing from Waterford, Ireland.

In a new single, Courtney Govan reclaims her story and insecurities, and vows to turn her past traumas into growth. She discusses how since she was twelve years old, she lived her life to please others and was always worried about what people would think of her. Now, she has had a change of heart, and states “your self-love needs to outweigh the negative shit, or you’ll never truly love who you are.” With the mentality in this single and a community of loved ones backing her up, she hopes to put her hard work to the test and practice self love over valuing the opinions of others. In this track, she sings about how people in the past have dragged her down and made her feel less than, but that she is finally accepting that their opinions are just that- opinions. They are not based on fact or anything other than people’s own insecurities, so why should she let them bring her down with them? In her first verse, she voices some of the insecurities she has been made to feel by others. She states how hard it is to open up, how she feels that everyone will leave just like he did. If she voices her problems she will be called jaded, anxious, a narcissist, and the story will get twisted into her being a villain. However as she reaches the pre-chorus, she has a change of heart. Her voice becomes stronger, as do her lyrics, and she realizes that she is more than enough. She ends the chorus with the mantra, “If I let your opinion run my life / I’d hate myself until the day I die”.

In life the people who are the closest to us are often some of our biggest doubters. They have a huge disbelief in the things we can create, but more importantly they don’t believe in the person we will become.

The entire track had the most vibrant, energizing, uplifting beat that will put anyone in a great mood.
