Moonchild Sanelly – Full Moon
Moonchild Sanelly is kicking off the year with the release of her highly anticipated third studio album, Full Moon, out now via Transgressive.
The album from the musical shapeshifter, exhibits Moonchild’s lyrical prowess and liberating energy. Along with the album release, she shares her latest video for the beautifully melodic track “Falling.” Filmed in Johannesburg, it is co-directed by Jesse Roth and Lauren Roth de Wolf and features an appearance by Moonchild’s eldest daughter Artemis.
Full Moon was recorded in Malawi, the UK and Sweden, and produced by Johan Hugo (Self Esteem, MIA, Kano). It is a collection of 12 tracks showcasing Sanelly’s unique sonic fingerprint, joyous attitude, distinctive vocals and genre-bending hit-making prowess. Full Moon’s club-ready beats oscillate between electronic, afro-punk, edgy-pop, kwaito, and hip-hop sensibilities, including tracks “Do My Dance,” “Scrambled Eggs,” “To Kill a Single Girl (Tequila)” and “Big Booty.”
Moonchild said – “I can’t believe it’s 2025 and I can finally share with you my most personal, raw and honest record ever, which is OUT TODAY!!”, adding “I called this album FULL MOON because it’s ALL of me.”
She went on to say – “My last album Phases showed you the different sides of me one at a time and FULL MOON is all of me, lit up in my entirety. FULL MOON is the arrival of my whole self, the sum of everything I’ve gone through & every emotion I had to feel… Childhood trauma, fights, letdowns, abandonment, sadness, survival, getting back up, letting go, forgiving, accepting and rebuilding everything for me and for my kids. So here I am, a FULL Moon – and I’m so excited to share my whole self in this record, but also on my UK tour in March. See you on the road Boobeams!“
