Bio
Mone is an artist that draws you close into a dark and soothing world, never sure if her voice will caress you or bite you.
She's been called the lovechild of Fiona Apple and Tom Waits for her raw, emotional songs and unique vocal sound.
Rooted in folk music but influenced by many artists, from Big Thief and Leonard Cohen to The Dresden Dolls and Kate Bush, Mone fuses more traditional genres with the firm confidence of avant-garde music.
Mone’s debut album "Crocodile Kisses" (2021) is a raw and bold debut about love, anger and madness. "Darling, Thief" (2023) is alluring yet occasionally unsettling and exploring themes of loneliness and longing.​

On 'Darling, Thief"
​
"Intimate with a dark twist. The stunning simplicity by which Mone is able to uncover her full sensitive potential - vocally and emotionally"
​
- Nothing but Hope and Passion
​
"It’s alluring yet occasionally unsettling, possessing you as you get lost in her voice."
​
"the strength and beauty of this album lay within the vocals and how they are positioned; the often sparse accompaniment allows them to take centre stage, meaning her captivating and expressive delivery can breathe."
"Mone moves effortlessly from delicate whispers to raw emotion conveying the depth of the feelings and experiences."

On 'Terrible Broadway Play'
​
"‘Terrible Broadway Play’ is a dark-folk song that left me with a feeling I haven’t felt since listening to ‘Exit Music (For a Film)’ by Radiohead for the first time. A sense of seriousness, sorrow, tragedy and beauty all mixed together to create a complex and unsettling vibe that is not quick to leave your body."
"Mone’s beautifully unpredictable vocals float effortlessly when they want to, only to occasionally jump when you least expect it. Like the actress on stage, interrupting her monologue to scream at the roof. Listening to the song over and over again, you see structure in the madness. However, listening for the first time is a chaotic experience, in the best way possible."
​
​
On 'Big Brown Bear'
​
""Big Brown Bear" musically and poetically has a lot to offer to those of us starving for art that takes us to places that other popular or unpopular art doesn't take us. Mone's vocal aesthetic with unsteady melodies and almost otherworldly brittle sounds is at once beautifully and perfectly odd."
​
"Mone's (...) three wildly different songs feel like daring, divergent art pieces. I am feeling an amalgam of folk and baroque pop with post punk underpinnings (...) and I thought of Fiona Apple, P.J. Harvey, Dresden Dolls, and Bjork all at once."
​
​
"‘Big Brown Bear’ is a song about the complicated relationship to one’s own body, and the desire to shed the layers of human reflection, which was a concept born from the #metoo movement and experiences with sexual harassment. And we believe that the bittersweet grandeur of this tune emphasises this topic masterfully."
​
"Dutch frontwoman takes her cues from Weyes Blood on this smooth and ethereal alt-pop gem"
​
On 'Rat'
​
“[T]he new single feels like the lovechild of Fiona Apple and Tom Waits. (...) Remember the name Mone, she’ll quickly become the new face of avant-garde. (...) Set to release her debut album later this year, this is an artist if you’re interested in music without boundaries.”
​
“From the very first second, 'Rat' stirs something dark and guttural from the dust of alleyways. It's urgent, with primordial energy and introspection, driven by a snowballing piano. ”
- Raw Meat
​
“Moody, gritty and dark in its tone, ‘Rat’ brings us these qualities with a rare sense of charm. ”
​
“Mone delivered a jaw-dropping performance with her latest single titled ‘Rat’, produced by Cameron James Laing and Gidon Carmel. The new single is the second single off the upcoming album and highlights everything we’ve come to love about Mone. If you’re looking for something unique and interesting, Mone never disappoints. ”
​
“[A] portal into the madness of Mone"
​
​
On 'Crocodile Kisses'
“Crocodile Kisses’ is a dark and sensual ballad, the kind of song that is equally beautiful and brutal when professed with the degree of honesty she does.”
