Description
What A Crazy World (feat. Alain Apaloo)
When one thinks of the state of the world in 2024, what comes to mind is – wars, violence, anger, out-of-control humans losing their minds, death, destruction, inflation, elections, crisis, AI, earthquakes, floods, environmental collapse, volcanic eruptions, fires – Year of the Dragon!
In the words of Ian Bremmer, “the Voldemort of years; the annus horribilis; the year that must not be named”. The storm before the calm – a far cry from Satchmo’s, “What a Wonderful World”.
In other words – what a crazy world, hence the inspiration for Anna to release this song during these crazy times of humankind’s insanity, insatiable quest, and lust for power. One redeeming factor in all of this is the art of expression through words, which sheds light on the darkness that ultimately, humans must experience the pang of birthing a better world.
For this song, MonkeyRat goes in reverse taking us back to 1969 with Alain Apaloo’s virtuosic and nostalgic psychedelic rock n roll riffs into overdrive with his 2 spectacular guitar solos blasting and hailing with Anna’s vocals. Alain’s talent shined brightly when he recently played with
Eric Clapton and Kurt Rosenwinkel at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Los Angeles. MonkeyRat captures the spirit of this turbulent era with this bold political and social commentary in 2024.
