We recently featured MOLTENO for her innovative and immersive fire-inspired EP, Element 1, so we were thrilled to hear that she had just released her brand new single, Moonlight.
Setting the tone with a cerebral rising frequency fused into a pulsating bass-line with enigmatic vocal textures, MOLTENO opens Moonlight with the conceptual, situational lyrics, “Crystal towers and icy roads, when I wake up my eyes are closed, travel by moonlight into your dreams, travel by moonlight into your eyes…”
Moonlight expands into an atmospheric and ethereal soundscape with glistening details to deliver an opus about astral projection. The track is transportive and meditative allowing us to explore the astral realm with our protagonist.
An accomplished vocalist, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, MOLTENO has been praised as the “love child of Björk and Bat For Lashes”, acquiring support across national radio, tastemaker press and editorial playlists on Spotify and Apple Music.
Speaking about the single, MOLTENO confesses, “After experiencing lucid dreaming, with Moonlight I wanted to explore the idea of travelling and connecting through dreams. What if we truly wake up in our dreams and travel by moonlight?”
We also learn that Moonlight is the first single from Element 2 – the second of four EPs that aim to celebrate the elements and the way nature connects us.
Moonlight is also set to be accompanied by a Daisy Moseley directed music video featuring notable actor William Moseley (Narnia, The Royals).
No stranger to the live circuit, the solo artist has appeared at the likes of Camp Bestival, Fractalight Festival Of Light, Camden Assembly, The Finsbury and The Victoria to name just a few, as well as live radio performances on Shoreditch FM and Soho Radio.
We love the cosmic universe that MOLTENO is creating with her unique soundscape and have added Moonlight to our New Music Spotlight playlist whilst we continue to stream her existing discography including Element 1!
