Berlin-based artist Jupiter Flynn brings us her newest single “Monsters and Men,” and it’s quite the banger. The narrative of the track is a reflection of women the world over – the very real and present fear of men in all walks of life (from relationships to walking alone at night). With an impressive accompaniment of guitar and piano, her voice manages to shine through whilst simultaneously carrying the appropriate amount of foreboding for the subject material; “I’m not scared of the dark/I’m scared of monsters and men.”
Fans of Mitski, Olivia Rodrigo, or Girl in Red would find a lot to enjoy here. Not merely a grouping of female artists, but the fabric and feel of their songs shares a lot of common ground. You can hear, quite frankly, that Jupiter has been through some shit and she’s here to share her experiences in her wonderfully dark yet hopeful style.
You can hear “Monsters and Men” over on Spotify along with a forthcoming EP sometime in 2024 (which is a lot closer than you think! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!)
