Get familiar with the singer with the gorgeous locks and vivid storytelling. -Latina Magazine -
A producer, DJ, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Lionheart also uses her airy vocals to sublimely angelic effect on songs such as the dreamy, string-enhanced “Let Go” — with cellist Yoed Nir (Regina Spektor, Rufus Wainwright) — and beat-driven “Rocks to Ankles”, a track that takes a while to hit its subtle melodic groove but eventually delivers a perfectly crafted chorus hook on top of some stately piano chords. - Direct Current Music -
Singer-songwriter Monica Lionheart layers her frosty voice over wafts of electronica and strings in a manner that suggests dry ice—and lots of it—plus Sigur Rós, and early Cure records interpreted by a tropicalia singer. It’s gorgeous stuff, in other words. - Time Out Magazine -
