Somnea – Mona Lisa @somneamusic
Somnea’s “Mona Lisa” video is meant to convey subliminal imagery and give context to the lyrics. The song is especially relevant to Valentine’s Day as it addresses romantic interests, is family friendly, and has a unique artistic approach. It has been described as being able to make someone feel multiple emotions at once.
