3 ) The most wicked west coast lady rapper. Busting easy beats for your ears to ride the waves of the Pacific North West.
1) Monta is the one-man project of Tobias Kuhn, formerly singer of Miles. Monta makes up the centre of his work - the bottom line of his musical labour. Monta can be tender as a whistle or roaring like thunder, from homey living rooms to a stage somewhere on the globe.
After the ep "Always Altamont", the highly acclaimed first longplayer "Where Circles Begin" had been released worldwide and made it to album of the week of the Sunday Times (UK) and the single "I'm Sorry" can still be heard as theme song of the japanese counterpart to CNN news. Now there's a new single "Good Morning Stranger" and a new album - "The Brilliant Masses"!
Brilliant indeed: a collection of eleven songs who ask for careful listening and instantaneously stare into your eyes. In a language often enciphered and metaphorical yet clearly coherent and radiant as a lighthouse. Songs who can alienate people and at the same time spend warmth.
With awareness and luminosity Kuhn sums up the things and thoughts that motivate him and get him going. The song titles themselves make up the synopsis: love, estrangement, doubt, certainty, home, getting along, trust, disappointment, capitulation, achievement, loneliness, bliss and the never-ending search. Over and over and over again. Again and again packed in those awesome melodies which let the world shine in a different light for a moment or a little longer.
Monta has grown up and become a dad, also he's been around on tour for quite a bit and got lots of positive feedback and made lots of friends on the many shows he's played thus far - whether solo or with a continually changing number of great musicians. Monta got high rankings in lots of reader and listener charts yet in between there's always the often deflating and painful 'homecoming' process - having to face the things one's neglected, that still have to get done, with yourself and with the 'Brilliant Masses'.
Which results in a nearly brutally authentic piece, recording here and there in between Klagenfurt / Austria and Munich / Germany. Sometimes all by himself, at times with longtime companions and produced by the artist himself in close cooperation with Herwig "Fuzzman" Zamernik. (Naked Lunch)
"The Brilliant Masses" is going to be released early 2007 on Monta's own label Labelmate in coop with viennese Klein Records.
2) A duo from Kansas City, brothers Dedric and Delaney Moore have been producing electronic music under the moniker Monta since 1999. Their album Unsuspecting was released in 2005. According to the act's web site http://www.montamusic.com , they will expand their name to "Monta [At Odds]" for their upcoming release Live or loop.
How Does It Feel
Monta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Suddenly overnight something has changed
Unable to think and speak what's on my mind
I hold you in my arms in my arms
Oh nobody knows you
As much as we do
Nobody knows you
Will always be unspoken
Whether time goes slow
Or time goes fast unspoken
Can't wait for tomorrow to get back to your bed
To look into your face and hope you are better
There's nothing to do for me at this moment
I wish this could all change this could all change
Oh nobody knows you
As much as we do
Nobody knows you
The fear of loosing someone
Whether time goes slow
Or time goes fast unspoken
How does it feel
The fear of loosing someone
How does it feel
Will always be unspoken
How does it feel
The fear of loosing someone
How does it feel
Will always be unspoken
The song "How Does It Feel" by Monta is a heartfelt and emotional exploration of the fear and uncertainty that comes with the possibility of losing someone you love. The opening lines of the song introduce the central theme of sudden, unexpected change, and the consequent difficulty of articulating one's feelings to those around them. The singer expresses this frustration, singing, "unable to think and speak what's on my mind," before going on to describe the comfort they find in holding their loved one close.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Nobody knows you," emphasizing the idea that there are some things we keep hidden even from those closest to us. The fear of losing this connection, of being unable to express or understand each other fully, is a deeply human experience that the song captures with great sensitivity.
The final verse of the song is particularly poignant, conveying the singer's sense of helplessness in the face of their loved one's suffering. They describe the longing to be able to "change" the situation but acknowledge that "there's nothing to do for me at this moment." The repeated refrain of "The fear of losing someone/whether time goes slow or time goes fast/unspoken" underscores the idea that this fear and uncertainty is a fundamental aspect of the human experience, something that we all grapple with at different points in our lives.
Overall, "How Does It Feel" is a moving and introspective song that speaks to the universal experience of vulnerability and the fear of loss.
