moonsea Finds Magic In Single 'Power Cut' and Music Video

moonsea invites you into a flickering world of feeling with her new single 'Power Cut', landing Friday, August 1.

Nascuda a Manchester, Regne Unit, moonsea va passar els seus anys d'escola a Auckland abans de traslladar-se a Melbourne el 2013 per estudiar medicina, on va començar a experimentar amb la producció musical i va llançar dos EPs sota el seu primer projecte d'artista Sympholily: Lights (2017) i Baby Blue (2020).

Her newest single is a tender ballad with an old soul, pulling you into its universe with bird-like synths twittering over lilting keys and guitars. 'Power Cut' is easy to get lost in, with its ephemeral layering, vivid storytelling, and moonsea's angelic vocals. This single feels like a slow dance, an intimate moment between two people who were meant to be.

A love song to the magic built into the mundane, 'Power Cut' pays homage to the romance that can be found in all parts of life with the right person, and makes a wish for it to never fade.

"As a child I always felt there was something a bit exciting about a power cut… in those hours of darkness, huddled on the living room floor with our half-burned candles, it felt like time had stopped and we’d entered an alternate reality. This was a universe for telling secrets and holding hands, and I had the distinct feeling that anything might happen. I imagined what it might be like to be in such a situation with someone you were secretly in love with… The rest of the song blossomed from there."

El seu vídeo musical comparteix aquesta sensació d'intimitat, amb les fotografies de la càmera mòbil de l'estudi flanquejades entre close-ups que se senten com una conversa entre la moonsea i l'espectador, i una paleta de colors que és calenta malgrat la foscor.
