Some voices don’t sing; they lay bare, rend, and disclose. Mona Lissa Chanda of Montreal does just that with her new single, “Professional Victim.” Blending elements of Retro Soul, Contemporary R&B, and Jazz, she gives a musically textured and thematically fascinating song.
“Professional Victim” unfolds like a confessional, shrouded in smoky melodies and a groove that persists long after the last note tails off. The mix of classic soul textures and modern R&B sensibilities makes “Professional Victim” feel less like a song than an experience.
Chanda challenges narratives and engages within the nuanced territory between struggle and self-imposed stagnation. Her delivery mixes introspection and assertiveness, hitting that sweet spot between raw honesty and velvet-toned finesse. The jazz-soul instrumentals create a perfect landscape for her voice, which glides.
Anyone who enjoys the craft of vocal storytelling wrapped in a timeless sound: “Professional Victim” is mandatory listening. Mona Lissa Chanda is charting where soul jazz and truth intertwine. Don’t just stream it. Spin it. Feel it. Talk about it.
