Monica Allison, a talented, modern pop singer/songwriter based in New York, NY, has won the SongwriterUniverse “Best Song Of The Month” Contest for July, for her song “Careless”.
Monica Allison's
“Careless” is a sophisticated, dramatic pop song, which is reminiscent of the piano-based styles of Fiona Apple and Sarah McLachlan. There’s also a bit of Tori Amos’ experimental edge in the arrangement. The song has an elegant melody which gently soars in the chorus, providing an emotional lift. “Careless” provides a good showcase for Allison’s clear, expressive vocals, plus her piano playing. The song was expertly produced by Rob Arthur (a pro musician who tours with Peter Frampton), who played all of other instruments on this cut.
