Setting the tone with rippling synths and an astral frequency with a breathy vocal riser, Francesca Monte opens Mistakes with an intricate fabric of bass and sub-bass and a refined, pulsating beat.
Atmospheric vocals and vulnerable prose guide us as Francesca Monte shares her soul with depth and introspection. The composition showcases nothing short of instrumental mastery, delivering a cohesive and dimensional tapestry of sound. The vocal production is pristine and dynamic pop perfection, and we appreciate the charisma that Francesca conveys her message with.
The glitched breakdown middle eight is simply transcendental, and we are in awe of the attention to detail, resulting in an ethereal respite before an anthemic finale and poetic instrumental breakdown to close. The song comes in a 3.33 exactly, which is aligned to Pythagoras’ postulation that three is the perfect number – the number of harmony, wisdom and understanding.
Speaking on the message of the track, Francesca confesses that the central theme of Mistakes is “abandonment syndrome.” She tells us how the track was born in a sleepless night, when love seemed lost, and pain and fear were taking over. This authenticity really transpires in not only her lyricism, but the magnetic nature of her performance.
It is no surprise that the rising alternative pop artist and producer from London has already amassed over 13 million streams across various platforms. We learn that Mistakes was produced by Francesca Monte herself, along with Kevan and Daniel Baiolla.
The dark-pop superstar leaves us with a quote, “Learning to love yourself is the key to everything. Overcoming your insecurities and nightmares from the past. Because only love can save us, universal love, in all its forms.”
We deeply appreciate the intentional wisdom that Francesca Monte creates with, and her stunning visual artistry that accompanies her project. We have added Mistakes to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Francesca’s discography, including All Day All Night, and Hello Monsters.
