Bongo Boy Records label owner and singer-songwriter Monique Grimme is welcoming the new season with a fresh new single – Honey Gold – a Bossa Nova jam “infused with warmth and soul,” capturing the sweet dangers of romantic craving.
It’s all pinned down by the peculiar duality which Monique Grimme finds in honey. It’s not just a sticky-sweet substance, but a pet name for loved ones who may not be as sweet as we first imagined. Monique draws on honey’s odd complexities and nuances to craft her lyrics, painting the pitfalls of love in an amber light: “You can’t have the sugar without the salt / If I get stung, it’s my own damned fault.”
This track comes wrapped with buttery vocals, delivered with a vibe that’s both fierce and summer-cool; as Monique serves fans the femme fetale edge of a lady waking up to the fact that love tastes more like sour sherbet than syrup.
A chart-topping instrumental aesthetic leads the show: clean and sultry pop sparkling with Latin grooves and smooth R&B inspirations, and an explosive chorus which has listeners fighting the urge to dance along, all perfected in a short 2-minute, 30-second run time which leaves us begging for an instant replay.
It’s a summer-ready hit in our opinion, leaving us with one final verdict: Highly recommended.
