Violents & Monica Martin - Equal Powers [Studio Sessions]

[@SPANGLED_Ed_and_Democracy]

Monica is one of the best vocalists out there. Nice cut.

[@WangleLine]

Agreed~

[@biancaadore3425]

She is like a real life Angel!!!!!!!!!! They are all so talented! Her and Sade would melt speakers!

[@williamknell864]

Beautiful stuff. It's funny. In Phox, Monica's voice was kind of the constant sound. The band came in and out with varied sounds and quirky instruments. Her voice was like the climate that everything happened in. There's something about the breathiness and the throaty texture of her voice that both fills and seems to create space. Violents has a string quartet, and the overall vibe is probably a steadier, solid thing. But the strings aren't a mere bed, under everything. The drums and bass parts are incredible. Jeremy's piano is a dramatic counterpoint to Monica's vocals. The whole thing is really stirring. Damn. Monica is an incredible, unique singer. I miss Phox. But I love both projects. Awesome.

[@Violents]

thanks William!!

[@Shannatastic]

Classical piano, strings and the beauty of Monica's voice make this track a MUST hear. Not enough of those instruments in todays music! And don't get me started on how gorgeous Violents is! 💙💙💙💙love love love💙💙💙💙

I have been listening to this one again for the last few weeks as it’s made its way into a mix for my friend, and I just can’t get over what a beautiful and aching piece of art it is

[@jimkranich5757]

This whole composition is just brilliant! So how the hell does ..."baby, you're a firework" reach like a billion views. I think we're in the wrong parallel universe, or something,

[@Peppersfirst]

Jim Kranich The koolaid is still too strong for most to snap out of it and notice the beautiful things.

[@peterr.905]

+Violents I am so happy that Edith Bowman played this song on her breakfast show on Virgin Radio here in the UK. Please can name all the talented session players? Are they in any bands? Fantastic song and live video. Thank you for everything.

[@Violents]

We are too! Session players are now in the description

[@peterr.905]

Violents Thank you for doing that. All of you are so talented.

[@peterr.905]

Violents I thought I recognised Darren King from MUTEMATH. I only discovered them via Twenty One Pilots. Thank you.

[@longle956]

That’s a sexy song

[@treymann497]

Great music what happened to putting effort into creating I feel sorry for some of these younger kids

[@KikeYopo]

;)

[@jkramer5007]

Umm, these studio sessions are quite amazing. Fantastic band, but studio sessions are far superior to album recordings (IMHO)

[@paganmoon8540]

Pity they didn't use a piano like the NPR version, must nicer tone than keyboard.

[@seanwoods1100]

NPR was better turn the mic down on the drums turn mic up on piano

[@degas]

I love how the drummer played those single 16ths on the hi-hat but really held to the quarter note ostinato for the song.....Tastey....errr ahhh something.
