Monster - Grace & Moji (Pop) Following our reviews of previous tracks “Monster” and “Tipping Point”, Grace & Moji return for the third month in a row with “Sad Times”, a melancholy subject matter set to a poppy retro dance beat. While “Monster” gave us some 90s Smashing Pumpkins alt rock, and “Tipping Point” gave us anthemic folk, “Sad Times” gives us yet another side of Grace & Moji, conjuring those doo wop evocations of “Hey Yah” and “F*** You". But what all these tracks keep in common are those anthemic builds, with the song pivoting in the bridge to a rousing singalong. Of all the tracks we’ve had the pleasure of reviewing, this one is Grace & Moji’s most commercially appealing track, which we think you’ll be hearing in some ad placements very soon.
Best Lyric: “Cuz days are growing darker I need to open my heart yeah.”
