Summary
Today’s Top Tune: Monika ‘LA Like A Song’
Nearly a decade after her breakout Tiny Desk performance, Monika revisits the era that launched her international career with “LA Like A Song,” her first new release in three years. Rooted in the analog soul and disco-tinged sound of her acclaimed Secret in the Dark sessions, the track bridges past and present, channeling the groove-driven magic of Brooklyn’s Dunham Studios while reflecting her life now in Los Angeles.
