Mon Laferte

Mon Lefarte is a Mexican/Chilean singer-songwriter with an impressive stylistic range who mixes various branches of Latin traditions with Chilean folk and ranchera music, often blended with contemporary sounds of rock and pop, as well as mid-century pop with a hint of jazz. She navigates this terrain across albums, and across tracks in the same album. While this may sound wildly eclectic, and the whiplash transitions can be somewhat jarring at times, there is also common thread brought about by the consistency in her delivery and the underlying feel, which helps these shifts come across as the changing moods of an artist. She is also a strong songwriter who picks emotional expression over melodic flamboyance.
