Establishing the mood with a boundless and dimensional soundscape, Sloane Monroe opens MAGNETIC with slightly downpitched, textured vocals with fierce, situational prose setting the scene for what is to come.
The opus expands with cerebral vocals and a poignant tale of confidence, sensuality, and empowerment. We swiftly learn that MAGNETIC is designed to capture the feeling of being unapologetically bold, hot, and powerful – creating the type of energy that makes you want to strut down the runway.
The composition has a seductive, futuristic and slightly dark vibe that fans of Charli xcx would be absolutely obsessed with. The prose is assertive and invites us to feel fierce, sexy, and unstoppable. In essence, MAGNETIC is a personal anthem for self-assurance, and Sloane Monroe tells us how she hopes that it inspires that same confidence in others.
“I originally wrote this song for solo loop violin when I was fifteen. I had an octave pedal that I
would plug my violin into so I could sound like a cello, and I would spend hours improvising over
the bouncy bass line. I would play it at open mics around London, and people seemed to love it”, confesses Sloane.
She elaborates, “My friend had a Prophet 5 synthesizer that he let me borrow the other year, and I jokingly started to play that same bass line. Immediately, I thought, ‘Oh, this is cool as hell. I’ve gotta write some lyrics and make a dance track to this.’ The instrumental was always sexy, seductive, and a bit dark, so I wanted to write a tune that reflected that energy.”
We absolutely love the energy that MAGNETIC exudes, and how it makes us feel. With roots in blues and folk, and training in jazz violin, Sloane Monroe’s sound blends her musical upbringing with London’s vibrant nightlife and indie pop electronica. The genre expansive production feels extremely zeitgeist and also holds a cinematic vibe, making it perfect for a Hollywood synch deal for a future iteration of Gossip Girl, the new Cruel Intentions series, or maybe even an episode of Selling Sunset!
We deeply connect with the essence of MAGNETIC and envision great things for the track and Sloane Monroe’s career as a visionary rising artist. Naturally, we have added MAGNETIC to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream Sloane Monroe’s debut single, Made for You, and her sophomore single, Clueless.
