THE SUN WON’T STAY AFTER SUMMER
The Debut EP out 11th March
19 year old Londoner Nick Mono had a blistering 2021, playing sold-out London shows and being tipped by everyone from NME to Radio 1. The gifted writer and producer has a knack for making sun-soaked, hazy songs and is proving why he is being tipped as a breakthrough artist to watch with the release of new single ‘All The Money’, taken from his upcoming debut EP ‘The Sun Won’t Stay After Summer’ – released via Parlophone.
Of the new single he says “I wrote and produced it in my room during the first lockdown. During that time I was making a whole lot of songs and missing a whole lot of online classes in the process. I really want this song to become an indie classic that plays at parties in 10 years and gives people that sense of nostalgia that I get listening to Teenage Dirtbag or All The Small Things. How catchy the hook is gives me hope it can go on to be one of those songs.”.
Impossible to pigeonhole, ‘All The Money’ is the sound of an artist making the kind of genre-defying music that he loves. Nick is preparing to release his upcoming debut EP ‘The Sun Won’t Stay After Summer’ – with the majority of the tracks being entirely self-produced. Merging the London stylings of people like Blur, King Krule and Jamie T with the experimental spirit of US artists like Omar Apollo and Dijon, his sound is rich with hazy soundscapes, woozy guitars and Nick’s ability to craft tight, memorable melodies.
Growing up in West London to Punjabi-Indian parents, Nick was a music obsessive from an early age – writing and releasing music all through secondary school. The song that propelled him to that next level is ‘Effy Stonem’ – named after a character from the iconic teen drama Skins – the track began to blow up on TikTok, with creators like Bella Poarch and the Skins actor April Pearson using the song in their videos. As he prepares to release his debut EP, Nick has secured the support of Radio 1 (who premiered ‘Rusty’ as Jack Saunders’ Next Wave) played two sold old London shows and been tipped by NME as one of their ‘Emerging Artists for 2022’. The release of ‘All The Money’ is a stunning preview of his debut EP and a taster of the exciting future that’s in store for this talented artist.
