Munk Duane brings a level of swagger, of groove, and of soulfulness to his unique brand of indie pop music. He’ a storied artist with credits and work that’s spanned numerous titles across the entertainment industry. His music has been licensed to hundreds of television and film productions including The 70th Annual Tony Awards, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, and even the Super Bowl Half Time Show.
On ‘Just a Word’, Munk Duane really struts his song writing chops alongside his tenacity to build an arrangement that’s so vivid in its evocation and engrossing in its melody. With a measured and gripping vocal performance that’s accentuated by the occasional harmony, Munk Duane seizes your attention with fervour and keeps you hooked with just how sombre and mellow the arrangement really is. It’s so defiantly unique, unlike anything else I’ve really come across in the indie pop space so far.
Definitely keep an eye out for more originals from this supremely talented and poignant artist.
