Moonchild Sanelly unveils details of next album ‘Full Moon’

Moonchild Sanelly has announced that her new album, ‘Full Moon’, will be released via Transgressive on 10th January 2025, and has marked the news by sharing the LP’s fourth single. 

New track ‘Do My Dance’ follows previous releases ‘Scrambled Eggs’, ‘Sweet & Savage’, and ‘Big Booty’ (not to mention her recent collabs with Self Esteem on ‘Big Man’ and Ezra Collective on ‘Streets Is Calling’), and is an infectiously fun, mile-a-minute slice of sonic sunshine. 

‘Full Moon’ is set to be Moonchild’s third full-length (following 2022’s ‘Phases’), and was recorded between Malawi, the UK, and Sweden with producer Johan Hugo (Self Esteem, MIA, Kano). “I called this record ‘Full Moon’ to convey a really clear sense that I got from living and writing these experiences,” she has shared. 

“‘Phases’ showcased all my sides, the different phases of the moon, and this one is all those parts of me being in unison with each other. When the moon is in phases, it shows parts of itself at a time. ’Full Moon’ is me, lit up in my entirety. The arrival of my whole self. It’s the arrival.”

Continuing, Moonchild has explained that “‘Full Moon’ is a culmination of everything that I needed to experience to get to this point, every emotion I had to feel, everything I went through… This project has it all, from beginning to end. The fights, the sadness, the getting back up, the letting go, the forgiveness, the acceptance.  There’s a sense of mental and spiritual togetherness that comes with forgiveness and it makes you whole. So here I am, a FULL Moon.”
