Menajerie Reveal Smooth New Single, ‘First Sunday’

Neo-soul trio Menajerie have returned with their latest single, First Sunday. Known for their captivating blend of soulful harmonies and smooth, funky melodies, Menajerie once again delivers a track filled with passion and emotion. First Sunday showcases the trio’s signature style, featuring the intertwined voices of their three dynamic frontwomen, creating an alluring and atmospheric soundscape.

Following their acclaimed debut album Selective Deafness in 2023 and the recent single Melt, Menajerie continues to receive recognition, including a nomination at the 2024 Queensland Music Awards. Their new track, First Sunday, is a reflective piece that explores the complexities of grief and loss. With heartfelt lyrics and a rich instrumental arrangement, the song moves seamlessly from introspective piano chords and gentle guitar rhythms to a soaring bridge with cosmic vocals and shimmering Rhodes.

Gracie Mack describes the track as a cathartic exploration of grief, culminating in a poignant and introspective conclusion.

“First Sunday is a song of release and catharsis from the complex world of grief. The song begins with pensive vocals over lush piano chords and slick guitar rhythms. The bridge then provides release with sparkling Rhodes and cosmic, belting vocals reaching a moving crescendo. The song ends by turning inwardly reflective. Contemplating the effect of grief on the soul.”Gracie Mack, Meajerie.

Menajerie’s First Sunday is an emotionally resonant and danceable tune that maintains the group’s distinctive blend of unfiltered emotion and engaging rhythm.
