In 2017, soulful singer/songwriter Monica Martin and Jeremy Larson released an album, Awake And Pretty Much Sober, together as Violents & Monica Martin. Since then, Martin has been sprinkling singles out into the world in preparation of her own forthcoming debut EP, out this spring. She stopped by the Paste Studio on Jan. 22 to play two of those tracks, "Cruel" and "Thoughtless," plus a never-before-heard new song, "Say," what she describes as a "sad disco tune." Supported by a band and backup singer, Martin delivered a groovy set, her second in the Paste Studio (following one in 2017).
