Synth Pop from Francesca Monte

Francesca Monte is an accomplished alternative pop singer, composer and producer who’s been making an impression on the international music for over a decade. Beginning her musical journey when she was 14, her talents in songwriting and piano playing set her on a path of creativity and self-expression.

Her potential took flight when she started collaborating with international star Buddy Miles in Dallas at the age of 17. Her sonic ability and determination also shone through when she participated in both The Voice of Italy and X Factor 8 in 2014, reaching the final stages as part of Komminuet, before setting out on a solo career the following year.

Over the years, Francesca Monte has crafted a unique creative vision, releasing multiple collaborative singles and working with London-based record label Rotbaum Records. Her debut record titled Alièn, released in 2020, achieved remarkable success, reaching the #1 spot on the iTunes electronic chart. The accompanying short film premiered at the Giffoni Experience, solidifying her presence in the music industry.

In 2020 and 2021 she dropped a string of singles as she continued to shared her unique sonic vision. Last year she returned with the collaborative track titled “Holding On To You,” linking up with the artist Kevan. Over the years, she’s racked up over 13 million streams of her musics, firmly placing her on the map of must-watch artists.

Now she kicks off 2024 with a brand new release, bringing us her latest single titled “Mistakes” and marking a triumphant return to releasing original music. Serving up her instantly addictive alternative pop sound, “Mistakes” features analogue synths, snapping electronic beats, slick sound design and infectiously catchy vocal leads.

Opened by the delicate flutter of electric piano notes, the distant buzz of a bass synth and softly tapping percussive shots underpin Francesca’s soulful vocals, aching with a longing emotion as she threads elegant melodies carrying poignant lyricism. As the beat builds the tension, the song launches into a shimmering synth pop experience driven by the pulsing swell of synth tones, punching beat and intoxicating vocal performance. Full of emotionally charged songwriting, melancholic aesthetic, danceable energy and memorable hooks, “Mistakes” sees Francesca Monte spin a stunning alternative pop anthem.
