“Dark of Night“ by MONY

“Dark of Night” by MONY is a gripping track that blends elements of pop, rap, and electronic music for a soundscape that is unique and captivating. MONY displays his one of a kind sound with this track, effortlessly merging different genres and vocal performances to craft the most satisfying listening experience. Produced by MONY, with vocals and lyrics from iAM13E, this collaboration explores personal growth, relationship dynamics, and life’s obstacles all over compelling production.

A melodic, modulated vocal opens the song and acts as the chorus. This is contrasted with the rapped verses from iAM12E. The slight shifts in production and energy also add contrast between these sections, keeping the verse arrangements sparse in order to let the lyrics shine, and then swooping into the denser choruses that encourage you to sink into the landscape. Pulsing synths and a steady drum rhythm fill out the choruses, with atmospheric sonic textures floating through the arrangement later in the song. An otherworldly synth melody walks you to the end of the track, luring you into the dark of night and providing an ominous close.

Lyrics like “when the stars align and we’re forced to find our truth, will you follow me into the dark of night?” suggest that the narrator is trying to find himself, and is hoping to do that with someone else. Braving the unknowns of life feels a little less scary with someone by your side. The emotional melodies and passionate vocal delivery add a layer of intimacy to “Dark of Night” that makes it hit even harder.
