The Sydney-based artist MUNGMUNG Explores the Intricacies of Online Friendships in a Melodically Alluring and Lyrically Provocative New Track ‘Internet Friends’.
You cannot afford to ignore MUNGMUNG if you’re a lover of music. She’s not just another artist on your radar; she’s the kaleidoscope that demands your attention and keeps you hooked.
It should come as no surprise that her most recent single, “Internet Friends,” becomes an exciting playground of hip-hop, R&B, and soulful undertones. She draws inspiration from a diverse range of artists such as Tyler, The Creator, Kanye West, and Ms. Lauryn Hill. It’s no surprise given the immense influence these artists have had on her.
‘Internet Friends’ is part of her debut album, ‘Boujee Bby’ which was released in June. The breadth and depth of skill that can be found on Boujee Bby are remarkable. With this release, she made her first-ever fashion drop under YELLOWGIRL live. Instead, it functions as an emotional manifesto that reveals the inner workings of our digital life layer by layer.
MUNGMUNG’s talent for setting emotionally challenging topics to extravagant melodies is well-demonstrated in this track. However, what makes “Internet Friends” stand out as a noteworthy piece is its modern approach to the intricacies of our online lives, particularly considering that the artist wrote it at the young age of 16.
She weaves a captivating story around our sometimes distorted sense of self-worth, which is measured in likes, comments, and follows. This is a subject that is relevant now and may connect with people of any age.
MUNGMUNG skillfully rides the beats created by experienced producers such as T. Tofa, Taka Perry, Nerdie, and Pokari. She also collaborates with BOY SODA and 1300. However, despite the contributions of these talented musicians.
The fact that “Internet Friends” doesn’t have a conventional ending is what makes the story intriguing. This piece is not a speech but rather intended to initiate a dialogue. MUNGMUNG’s aim is to encourage a much-needed discussion about our interactions with screens and how they shape us.
She composed the song as a therapeutic release, and it seems as if she is extending the healing touch to her audience, which makes the experience of listening to the song a beneficial one for the audience members as well.
MUNGMUNG has established itself as a creative force to be reckoned with, and its music is both profoundly contemplative and widely accessible. With the release of “Internet Friends,” she solidifies her position as an essential voice for a generation that is negotiating the complex terrains of digital connections and life online.
It’s not just a song; it’s a conversation that she begins but lets you continue, transforming listening into an active, participatory experience rather than a passive one. Get lost in the experience, and get into the dialogue.
