Song of the Week: Monsune by 1998
Reported by Rashad Smith
This track is all about nostalgia. A thumping, R&B inspired track accompanied with a pitched soul sample and punchy overdriven guitars that help guide Monsune’s smooth croon into a boisterous chorus that yearns to be played in your headphones while moving around campus. The beat switch is ethereal and earned, as it transitions from an electric bop into a reflective and beguiling soundscape as if the song itself were maturing into adulthood. Don’t sleep on this guy!
