Track Exploder – Monica Martin

“Go Straightforward, Child”

Monica Martin is a singer and songwriter primarily based in Los Angeles. Earlier than that, she was primarily based in Madison, Wisconsin, the place she was a part of the indie rock band Phox. She’s been a featured visitor vocalist on songs by James Blake and Vulfpeck. On this episode, Monica breaks down her music “Go Straightforward, Child,” together with the tracks’s producer, Khushi. It’s a reasonably meta story, as she talks about singing that’s partly about how onerous it may be to make a music. And extra usually, how onerous it may be to let go of issues we get hung up on.
