Close to Monday releases new single ‘Pray’

“Pray” demonstrates Close To Monday’s ability to transform minimalism into something expansive. Built on a foundation of analogue synths and sparse percussion, the track thrives in its restraint, showing how less can indeed be more. Each sound is deliberate, contributing to a sonic space that feels both intimate and infinite.

Ann’s vocal presence is the anchor. Gentle yet unwavering, her delivery blurs the line between song and spoken thought. The mantra-like repetition allows the listener to sink into the moment, uncovering new shades of meaning with each return. The absence of overt drama only heightens its impact—the emotion comes from sincerity rather than spectacle.

This is a song that doesn’t demand attention but quietly commands it. “Pray” invites listeners to pause, reflect, and find strength in stillness. In a world that often equates volume with power, Close To Monday offers a different perspective: that vulnerability, quietness, and patience can be just as transformative. It’s another compelling step in their evolving artistry.
