Buy my band Cry Ugly’s CD ‘Representatives Of The Shaggy Set’ here at CD BabyFor those who have followed me and my band Cry Ugly through the years: yes, you’ve spotted it well, this is ‘Monica’, the same song that we’ve released on our first album ‘Book Of Dreams’. The song that once went straight to number one in the Westpop Top 10, and stayed there for weeks on end. The same song.
Except, this version is a remake. I was never really happy with my lead vocals on the old version and with the fact that it started too slow to my liking and then only further on started to get the right amount of energy. Oh well. Not a lot of other people seemed to bother with it. Just me. 
But anyway, I redid the whole thing, if only for myself. I only used, in a sliced-up-kind-of-way, the organ-part old-Cry Ugly bandmember Erwin once played on a rehearsal recording, because I really liked the sounds.
It’s a rocking song I still think. Hope you like it too….
"The experimental happiness of The-Beatles-with-a-Pro-Tools-rig mixed with The Kinks' warm nostalgia and Elliott Smith's beautiful melancholy." ====================> Hey! I’m Andrew Vroomans, a singer/songwriter/producer of Beatles-type super melodic pop, based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Europe. It feels like I have been writing and singing songs about life and love and emotions since birth. These days I even do that professionally. The musical thing, not birth... Melody and harmony, atmospheres and words are my means to get the stories across. I perform and record my songs both solo and with my bands The Rodberries and Cry Ugly.
Song: Monica (2008)
