Montaigne (aka. Jessica Cerro) was a Triple J Unearthed High finalist in 2012. She didn't win, but since then she's been turning out some pretty stunning music. I Am Not An End is the second single off her forthcoming EP, Life of Montaigne. It follows I'm A Fantastic Wreck which pricked up ears last month. It's a stings-driven number that revolves around Cerro's sunshine-induced voice. She's got the quick-wit of Lily Allen with the pop quirks of somebody like Regina Spektor. Australia is desperately in need of a new left-of-centre pop queen and Montaigne could be it. This is a very strong debut.
