<p class="" data-start="77" data-end="464">Moncrieff’s latest single, “Shangri-La,” is an instant earworm—a synth-pop track that blends infectious melodies with heartfelt lyrics. The song opens with a catchy electric keyboard hook, setting the stage for an even catchier counterpoint synth that comes in and takes the track to a whole new level. It’s a feel-good, sing-along anthem that celebrates the magic of love.</p>

<p class="" data-start="466" data-end="660">The lyrics are as cute as they are catchy, with lines like:<br />
<br data-start="525" data-end="528" /><em>“I’ll take my time, and you can finish all of my lines&#8230;I never thought I would find you.”</em><br />
<br data-start="622" data-end="625" /><em>“You’re my favorite holiday.”</em></p>
<p class="" data-start="662" data-end="809">It’s an uplifting love song that captures the joy and wonder of being with someone who feels like home, like your own personal Shangri-La.</p>
<p class="" data-start="811" data-end="1164">You might be wondering: What’s the deal with the title? The term &#8220;Shangri-La&#8221; comes from the novel <em data-start="914" data-end="928">Lost Horizon</em>, where it describes a mythical Himalayan utopia, a place of eternal peace and youth. In this track, Moncrieff uses it as a metaphor for the ideal, almost magical quality of love, making it feel like a perfect escape from the everyday.</p>
<p class="" data-start="1166" data-end="1464">And the best part? “Shangri-La” is just a taste of what’s to come. Moncrieff’s new album, <strong>Maybe It’s Fine</strong>, is available to pre-order now and drops May 9th. If the single is any indication, it’s going to be an album full of catchy hooks, infectious lyrics, and feel-good vibes.</p>
<p class="" data-start="1466" data-end="1597">Get ready to hit repeat on this one, it’s certain to be a favorite for anyone who’s ever felt like love is their own little Shangri-La.</p>
<blockquote><p>“It’s about two people becoming so recklessly infatuated with each other that in the moment, it feels like they’re on drugs. I was seeing this person, and I knew deep down that it was never going to end well but it was just so much fun being with them. They were so charismatic, gorgeous… <em>seriously</em> good craic. I was totally taken in but looking back now there were some serious red flags. The song encapsulates all the best parts of that experience and that person while also wilfully ignoring everything else. That pure, carefree feeling is so enticing. It’s only when you come down that you realise it’s something else!” &#8211; Moncrieff</p></blockquote>
