They choose a path of intense playing and create a strong live-reputation in the Belgian underground. This results in three concerts at Belgium’s most famous concerthall, Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. Dez Mona becomes the first band ever to do this without having published any album. Acclaimed by critics and fans, Dez Mona records its first album Pursued Sinners in a church. It is a live duo album with the occasional collaboration of trumpetplayer Sam Vloemans and accordionplayer Roel Van Camp. Nicolas and Gregory continue performing and writing new material where they choose for larger arrangments and more percussive power.
When recording the new album Moments of Dejection or Despondency Dez Mona transforms itself from a duo into a quintet. From the jazz barricades Steven Cassiers and Bram Weijters join the band on drums and piano. First partner in crime Roel Van Camp simply can’t be missed and fulfills the new Dez Mona. As a phoenix the quintet will once again set a new personal standard in live performing. Nevertheless Gregory and Nicolas keep on doing smaller, but not less intensive duo performances. Their belief in the live moment where dejection and despondency are turned into hope will never vanish.
Sister
Dez Mona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Today this tomorrow that man that thing boring
They leave home early morning but don't bring nothing
They ride every D for likkle money cos they're always starving
No ambition always focusing on the cloths they wear
Long hills long nails and Brazilian hair
But there this one girl I know she's independent
They say she bad but I know she tranna stay relevant
In Dez Mona's song "Sister," the lyrics discuss the singer's distaste for women who are "wannabe hoes." This is a common theme in many hip-hop and R&B songs, where women are often reduced to shallow, materialistic objects who use their sexuality to manipulate men. However, the singer makes it clear that he doesn't want anything to do with these types of women, as they are "boring" and lack ambition. Instead, he admires a particular woman who is "independent" and "bad," but also "tranna stay relevant."
