about

‘Monaco’ is the new single from dark alt-pop artist Leaone (‘Lee-Own’). Written and recorded in Brooklyn, NY with Lana Del Rey's longstanding band mate Tom Marsh and mixed by Abe Seiferth (Nation of Language, Yeasayer), ‘Monaco’ is taken from the Suffolk-based artist’s forthcoming debut album ‘Kings County’.

Described by CLASH Magazine as “Emotionally downbeat but completely gripping”, earlier singles drew heady comparisons with the likes of The National, Johnny Cash & Elliot Smith along with radio support at BBC Radio 1 (Huw Stephens), BBC Radio 2 (Jo Whiley) & BBC 6 Music (Chris Hawkins & Steve Lamacq) and a live session on leading UK LGBTQ+ station Gorgeous Radio.

Following recent release ‘4th of July’, the new single continues the theme of following your dreams - with the high stakes and big risks which accompany those actions – living in the moment but with the underlying fear of the bubble bursting.

LYRICS

Have you died from another love?
Are you blackened to the core?
Could you fly like you've never loved?
Did you feel that afterglow
When we were getting so high
Down in Monaco?
Like tomorrow never knows
We drowned in liqueur

I took a drink from the silver cup
With your knees down on the floor
Fallen fruit sent from God above
Did you feel that afterglow
When we were getting so high down in Monaco?
Like tomorrow never knows

Mercedes on the getaway
Love was such an easy game to play
Fast as Ayrton Senna on the riviera
We could never wait
Supersonic in a hurricane
Flashed me pink
While sipping Tanqueray
Dancing with the devil
High rolling, heavy metal
Monte Carlo bay

Summer time with my angel dove
Airs and graces on the shore
Been through hell never giving up
Did you feel that afterglow
When we were getting so high down in Monaco?
Like tomorrow never knows
We drowned in liqueur

Burning fuel and getting laced up
Tyre tracks days of yore
And we're feeling so gangster
Did you feel that afterglow
When we were getting so high down in Monaco?
Like tomorrow never knows

Mercedes on the getaway
Love was such an easy game to play
Fast as Ayrton Senna on the riviera
We could never wait
Supersonic in a hurricane
Flashed me pink
While sipping Tanqueray
Dancing with the devil
High rolling, heavy metal
Monte Carlo bay

Mercedes on the getaway
Love was such an easy game to play
Fast as Ayrton Senna on the riviera
We could never wait
Supersonic in a hurricane
Flashed me pink
While sipping Tanqueray
Dancing with the devil
High rolling, heavy metal
Monte Carlo bay
