London-based singer-songwriter Moncrieff has released an intimate video for his latest single, ‘Perfect’. Watch the video here and listen here. The track has clocked in over a quarter of a million streams on Spotify alone since its release last month and has seen a huge reaction from fans online. Moncrieff’s vocals soar over warm piano chords and subtle strings in this arena-ready ballad which showcases the Irish-born’s ability to write uplifting melodies that simultaneously pull at the heartstrings.
Speaking about the single, Moncrieff says: “Perfect is a very personal song for me about all those small moments in a relationship that make you realise that something isn’t as perfect as it once felt. It can be so hard to admit that something just isn’t right in a relationship and, despite your loyalty and care towards each other, sometimes good things come to an end.”
Moncrieff has already performed with Adele and impressed greats like Elton John and Avicii with his songwriting, yet he is only getting started. His debut single ‘Warm’ released last year was an instant hit that went top 10 on Irish Radio and was performed live with The RTÉ Concert Orchestra & Dublin Gospel Choir on The Tommy Tiernan Show. A self-produced six-track EP also titled ‘Warm’ followed, that served as an introduction to Moncrieff’s poignant, vulnerable and deeply personal songwriting and clocked in 6 million streams in just two weeks.
Moncrieff’s intimate compositions offer a stunning sonic portrait of an exceptional musician who isn’t afraid to address his demons in the studio. Having lost two siblings as a teenager, Moncrieff turned to songwriting as a way to heal and has been on a mission to connect with people through music ever since. After moving to London to pursue his music career, it wasn’t long before the music greats took notice. Sir Elton John noted him as ‘one to watch’ on his radio show ‘The Rocket Hour’ and Adele recruited him to perform as a backing vocalist for a number of her live shows.
With more new music and live shows to come, watch this space to see Moncrieff climb new heights in 2023 and beyond.
