Frogi’s knack for bringing together musical elements in an unconventional manner is on fully display on her “moonlight” signal. With finger snaps and kick drum, the harmonizing between the lead and backing vocals suggest something that is rooted in a more African realm of music as manifested through some of what Talking Heads did and more recently the experimental songwriting and performances of Tune-Yards. And with this song frogi expresses the internal notion of the way the world we want to be contrasted with the world as it is. The refrain “Keep me in the moonlight” is an apt metaphor for the more idealized vision rather than that of the world in the harsh light of the sun. It evokes a desire to live in the more subconscious, intuitive, dreamlike realm at least a little to retain a bit of a world where not everything has to adhere to the mundane and where the wondrous, however personally defined, can live and flourish and in turn fill our hearts with moonlight. Listen to “moonlight” on Soundcloud and follow frogi’s fantastical, left field pop on Spotify.
