Liza Girdimova — aka Monetochka — shot to internet stardom back in 2016 with self-penned pop songs poking fun at Russian life, world politics, and discount store cheese.
Aged just 16, she soon amassed
thousands of fans who had fallen in love with her laidback style and
tongue-in-cheek-lyrics. Now the Yekaterinburg-born singer has finished school
and started work on her what is already her second album: an upbeat dream
rap record called Raskraski Dlya Vyroslikh, or Colouring-In for
Adults. There’s a greater kick and more musical depth in her latest tracks
(using a recording studio, rather than singing in your bedroom, does have
its benefits) but the same wit, sarcasm and layered lyrics keep shining
through.
