Polish Eurovision star LUNA has teased her upcoming sophomore album with the release of its electrifying first single, ‘Wild West.’ The track offers a bold commentary on the anxieties of modern life, weaving a captivating narrative about the dystopian reality we face. In the song, she encourages listeners to navigate the harsh environment and persevere, highlighting the rewarding aspects that can still be found amidst the challenges.
Featuring a prominent chorus, vibrant instrumentation and LUNA’s distinctive, ethereal vocals, ‘Wild West’ is yet another shining example of the rising star’s uniquely dark pop. The whispery edge of her voice infuses the track with a haunting atmosphere, drawing you into the hypnotic journey of the wild, wild west.
The hit single is now accompanied by a striking new music video, which effortlessly reinforces the song’s perceptive lyrics. The track opens with a mysterious monologue seeping behind font that recalls classic cowboy films, darkly setting the scene for what is to follow.
The video begins with what appears to be an auction, filled with strange characters sporting discerning, judgemental looks. A curtain is unveiled revealing The Girl With The Pearl Earring, replaced with LUNA’s face. The camera zooms in, focusing on LUNA as she breaks into a hypnotizing interpretive dance.
Cutting between shots of the smug audience, the star re-appears in a flowing, frilly red catsuit with ultra-long hair streaked in crimson. In a dimly lit room, she moves erratically alongside a group of backing dancers, perfectly embodying her eerie aura. Midway through the video, LUNA then enters the auction room wearing a dark wig and catsuit, causing chaos by filling the uptight space with laughing gas, which quickly turns the scene into a wild, wild party.
If ‘Wild West’ is any indication, LUNA’s upcoming sophomore album is poised to reignite her popularity among both fans and critics alike.
