Shmoné Serenades with Velvety Longing in 'Just A Little More'

There’s a quality to the song “Just A Little More” by Shmoné — something fantastically soft that feels like warm velvet gliding across your consciousness — that renders it, not only impossible to skip, but downright unfathomable to stop halfway through a chorus. Bathed in something like chill, sensuous aura reminiscent of smoldering embers rather than searing neon, this Israeli folk-pop gem calls to mind faraway horizons and infinite sunsets. Vocals glide across the ear like honeyed murmurs, acoustic guitar strings braid intimately with violin sighs and a purring double bass, creating a tapestry both delicate and resolute.
The tale, sculpted from five nomadic years in an Australian vehicle, issues a deep longing for a place you can call home, raising travel-wearied freedom into something like poetry — a world in which travel turns from absolute freedom into bittersweet need. Every syllable throbs with authenticity, the harmonies by Alexia Parenzee glinting like night sky constellations laced through time. It’s folk storytelling as deep and vivid as an aged Bordeaux — so indelible it is, so entirely seamless, so incredibly easy to play on infinite loop.
