The New Zealand Alt-Pop Quartet Yumi Zouma Have Returned With Their Latest Single ‘Mona Lisa’, Out Now Via Polyvinyl

New Zealand based alt-pop quartet Yumi Zouma are back with their new single ‘Mona Lisa’ a soaring pop anthem that seems to be ruminating about wanting someone you canโ€™t have and navigating that uncertain situation.ย 

The song begins with tight layered vocals that almost glisten. It is then instantly contradicted by a low, warm vocal accompanied by a deep bass, subtle lead guitar and high hats. As the song gathers pace, the instrumentation picks up and helps the track drive forward. The chorusโ€™ have a real coming-of-age anthemic vibe, that seems to add light to what is not necessarily a happy subject. The bridge offers a great dynamic shift that strips the song bare to just lead vocals, harmonies and a dreamy accompanying guitar riff, which really helps the final chorus soar along with a super nostalgic sax solo. 

This is an utter essential for your dream-pop playlists, be sure to add it!
