Imagine being virtually whisked away to a private island in the South Pacific Ocean via a luxurious, all-embracing music experience…and not at the hands of a virtual reality machine either, however, the mystique of your music journey is set by the impeccable crooning of singer-songwriter MVD.
The Sydney, Australia based recording artist is a throwback to a vintage era of the recording industry, capturing its symbolic grandeur with his lush, easygoing and wide-ranging vocals that accentuate the pop and bossa nova fusion of music that backs his dynamic vocal presentations. MVD has cultivated his signature style into a debut single titled “Money and Fame” via independent local record label Pay No Attention Records. “Money and Fame” is a dazzling lyrical piece, as well as an illustrative composition that will spark your imagination and envelop your listening senses.
MVD explains the profound concept behind “Money and Fame” as a song that “tells the aspirational story of a protagonist who dreams of one day becoming rich and famous, if they could just get out of the suburbs. Ultimately, they have the realisation that their dreams will leave them isolated and alone, a reflection on the poisoned chalice that is ambition, and a nod to the deeper need of wanting to be loved and accepted“.
The soundscape of “Money and Fame” takes on a dreamy disposition, which embellishes the reflective, introspective nature of the lyrical content. It harnesses contemporary pop elements afloat a quintessential bossa nova instrumentation and tempo. Kind of middle suburbia U.S. meets the classic sounds of Brazil.
The production aspect is crisp and not overwhelming, allowing the listener to absorb the magnificent notes of each instrument being played while being able to also enjoy the texture and tone of MVD’s splendid vocal delivery. It’s very easy to get lost in the entire music experience that “Money and Fame” brings, which is actually the mark of a very impressive piece of artistry.

Money and Fame lyrics
I’m a lonely boy
Ready with a witty repertoire
All I need is a captive audience
I’m an undiscovered diamond
Sparkling through this suburban silhouette
The shimmering stars await me
All of my dreams are so vain, I know
I’ve got stars in my eyes and it aint no surprise
That all I want is good looks, money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame
When will it be my time to shine?
I’m gonna get what’s mine
I can feel it in my heart
I’m going straight to the top
Nothings gonna make this boy stop
All of my dreams are so vain, I know
I’ve got stars in my eyes and it aint no surprise
That all I want is good looks, money and fame
All of my dreams are so vain, I know
I’ve got stars in my eyes and it aint no surprise
That all I want is good looks, money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame
Who can I be? What can I say?
My incessant need for fortune and fame
Will leave me a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
