"You and The Mona Lisa" is a folk-rock song by American musician Shawn Colvin. The song was released in September 1997 as the third single from her album, A Few Small Repairs. "You and The Mona Lisa" was the follow-up to her 1997 hit, " Sunny Came Home". [1]
The music video for "You and The Mona Lisa" was directed by Nancy Bardawil. The video was posted to VH1.com on September 16, 1997, [2] and added it to VH1's television rotation during the final week of September 1997. [3] In addition to "You and The Mona Lisa", VH1 also added Sugar Ray's " Fly", Robyn's " Show Me Love", and Usher's " You Make Me Wanna..." to its on-air rotation during the same week. [3]
Billboard Magazine praised the single in its review on September 20, 1997, calling it "slightly more subtle in its musical approach [than "Sunny Came Home"], but no less satisfying." [4] Billboard continued, writing that "You and The Mona Lisa," "...packs a satisfying punch, as Colvin's intimate is surrounded by the required acoustic strumming and splashes of blues-spiced horn and harmonica lines. As the song builds to a lively, rock-edged climax, it's easy to imagine this hit-bound tune over and over again on the radio. If you have yet to investigate the artist's fine current album, A Few Small Repairs, use this single as an excuse to finally do so." [4]
