  • MAMA

    Simone, better known by her stage name MAMA or Mona Lazette, is British singer/songwriter raised and based in Streatham Hill, London. MAMA writes, plays and produces her own music. She is a self-taught music maker, inspired by experimental electronic sounds. She’s been creating her own unique blend of house, techno, boundary-defying RnB and trip-hop for over 10 years and counting.

     

    Her dance music connection evolved with a move to Berlin between 2010-2015, touched by the nightlife and the artistic community, MAMA was writing constantly. Friendships ignited on dance floors, which rolled over into after-party jamming sessions, which also inspired her own bedroom studio productions.

     

    In 2010, her home-recorded songs drew the attention of Bloc Party’s frontman Kele Okereke who saw her performing live at MAMA and Hannah Holland’s infamous East London club night ‘Batty Bass'. Kele immediately arranged for her to be his opening act on his 2010 European tour. After the tour, she propelled to headlining underground club venues/festivals in as far afield cities as Shanghai, Abuja, Morocco, Moscow and throughout Europe. She captivated audiences from Berghain Halle Berlin, Moulin Rouge in Paris to Glastonbury, UK.

     

    On stage, MAMA brings it all together dripping with sophisticated sensuality. Performing with a live drummer, she takes the audience on a journey from heartfelt moments to complete crowd surfing mania.

     

    MAMA also became a prominent vocalist for house and techno’s finest DJs and producers. MAMA has over 80 releases on many of the most respected underground dance record labels; from Crosstown Rebels, Bpitch Control, Get Physical, Batty Bass Records, Watergate Records & more

     

    This long list of new connections sparked the creation of an album she made with Greek international DJ Argy titled “Dominonation” released on Ellen Allien’s Bpitch Control label in 2015.

     

    MAMA released a stream of vocal features for Grammy-nominated German duo Tiefschwarz, Emanuel Satie, Hannah Holland, and more. These, in turn, inspired remixes from award-winning Dj, Solomon, who’s version of “Corporate Butcher” remained number one in the Beatport dance charts for 6 weeks in 2012. Further remixes of her vocals were produced by Hot Since 82, platinum-selling Paul Kalkbrenner, Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke, Pan Pot, Life & Death, Rampa, Alan Fitzpatrick and all created a buzz on the underground music scene.

     

    In the midst of all the collaborations and featured works, MAMA recorded her self-released debut solo album “Dreams of Liberty”, in 2014. Its dark, seductive songs reflect on her search for freedom, forming a deep and shadowy journey into MAMA’s personal life in Berlin.

     

    After more than 3 number 1 hits under her belt, MAMA returned to London in 2015 to reconnect with her roots and awaken new ideas. Kicking off with a solo EP “Unmask Me” on Hannah Holland’s Batty Bass Records released in October 2017 to stunning reviews from some of dance music’s finest artists.

     

    "It's incredible. It blew my mind. It's so refreshing to get stuff like this. Keep it coming!" Andrew Weatherall

     

    "Whaouuuuuu. This is awesome. Thanks alot” Laurent Garnier

     

    Elle Magazine interviewed MAMA about the concept behind the lyrics and why she was challenging anyone, of any race or sex, who is overwhelmed by conformity, to shave their heads as a symbol of new beginnings.

     

    MAMA’s second solo album is in the making. Once again her emotive vocals will share intimate messages across a spectrum of sounds.

     

    Stay tuned for her next chapter in music

    Tiefschwarz Feat MAMA 

    Corporate Butcher
    Corporate Butcher Lyrics
     
    Verse 1:
    I've been running around, robbing tricks all day
    I've been emptying pockets off the filth and dead
    You know what? I just don't give a fuck, i'll take what I need, feed the anger inside of me
    i found the secret, take the goods and bounce coz you know those pigs deserve it.
     
    I want it all, I need it all
     
    Chorus:

    I am the corporate butcher
    I am the corporate butcher
    I am the corporate butcher
    Let me hear you say
     
    Verse 2:
    Losers, loners, bankers all rolled into one
    i can't take it, can't take it. something has to be done
    Determinate, exterminate, the liars preaching to our sons
    I found the secret, take the goods and bounce coz you know those pigs deserve it.
     
    I want it all, I need it all
     
    Break:
    Dirty, money kills
     
    Chorus:
    I am the corporate butcher
    I am the corporate butcher
    I am the corporate butcher
    Let me hear you say
     

    Argy & Mama

    Whoami?
    Whoami? Lyrics
     
    Who am I?
    Give it some thought
     
    Who am I?
    Where do I go?
    It's inevitable how I lose control
    Who am I?
    Where do I go?
    Intoxicated in the delusion of us
    Pixilated, got my mind invaded
     
    You stepped into my world,
    now you're wishing that it was over.
    The tour of my heart is in full force
    when you're done, i'll send you a chauffeur
    Don't get the wrong idea, i still got love for you
    Can't help making you suffer too but i still got love for you
     
    Who am I?
    Give it some thought
     
    Who am I?
    Where do I go?
    It's inevitable how I lose control
    Who am I?
    Where do I go?
    Intoxicated in the delusion of us
    Pixilated, got my mind invaded

    MAMA

    Electricity

    Electricity Lyrics

     

    I want you just the way that you are

    but you make me feel so insignificant 
    I want you just the way that you are
    i'm a prisoner of your misery
     
    Your wistful moods, keep me sinister.
    Drowning babies, crying for our love
    Why can't you give it a chance? I promise to be good to you. I won't let you down
    Nights fade but i'm steady
    waiting on your your devotion
    new waves, flash upon me but i long for your attention. electricity invites me, to connect intrinsically. blue moons shine for you as i stand by patiently
    I did it for you

    I want you

    ARGY & MAMA

    Recluse

    Verse 1

    Drinking myself into the zone
    Longing to be a recluse on the drone

    Don't look at me or your eyes might bleed

    Life is so graceful when you don't give a shit


    Chorus

    I wanna be alone

    People own my time
    I wanna be alone
    Bankers drink my blood
    I wanna be alone
    Lovers rule my heart
    People own my time
     
    I'm in the dome
     

    Verse 2
     

    Slipping and sliding in my fantasy
    i'm in love with a computer baby
    my hard drive is heating up i'm about to explode
    I'll be delighted as long as we could keep it non-physical


    Chorus
    I wanna be alone
    People own my time
    I wanna be alone
    Bankers drink my blood
    I wanna be alone
    Lovers rule my heart
    People own my time

    I'm in the dome
     

    Outro
     

    Lets get naked, in virtual spaces, lets get naked

     

    MAMA

    Unmask Me

    Unmask me, unzip yourself

    strip you right down, down to your bones

     

    Did you ever feel, the crackle in the night, caressing your thoughts, for everything you got. Don't fight it, get even.

    Shake hands with the enemy elegantly

     

    Unmask me, unzip yourself

    strip you right down, down to your bones

     

    Hyper-sensations and elations, stand strong in my vibrations.

    Dictation and fixations feast upon my tribulations
