With a sophomore album that’s already been hailed as a genre-bending triumph and a huge arena tour alongside pop royalty The Sugababes, LUNA is clearly not here to play in 2025. In this exclusive interview, the rising star opens up about their whirlwind year so far – from spiritual conversations backstage to sweaty, theatrical shows – and how her music, visuals, and wild imagination are all part of one beautifully restless universe…
Your 2025 has already been off to an incredible start – with the release of your acclaimed sophomore album ‘No Rest’, US live debut, a sold-out tour alongside Eurovision winner Loreen and even a Spotify billboard in Times Square. What has been your proudest moment so far?
It’s been such an incredible start to the year, and I’m beyond grateful for everything that’s happened. But if I had to choose my proudest moment, it would definitely be releasing No Rest and seeing how deeply people connect with it. This album came from such a personal place and the fact that listeners have found their own meaning in it, that it resonates with restless souls all over the world, means everything to me. Seeing people sing the lyrics back to me at shows, sharing how the songs reflect their own experiences—that’s the most rewarding feeling in the world.
‘No Rest’ is described as, “an album for restless souls”, vibrantly blending pop and electronica. Were you anticipating such an incredible response from fans?
I always pour my whole heart into my music, but you never really know how people will react until it’s out in the world. No Rest was such a personal album—it’s about movement, longing, and that feeling of always chasing something, whether it’s love, purpose, or even just yourself. The fact that it has connected so deeply with people makes me feel seen in a way I never expected. It’s been amazing to see how listeners interpret the songs in their own way and make them their own.
What has your experience supporting Eurovision winner Loreen been like? Can you share any fond memories or anecdotes from the tour?
Loreen is such a force of nature, both on and off stage. Touring with her is an incredible experience—not just because of the audiences, who were beyond amazing, but because I got to witness her artistry up close. I didn’t expect we will have so much in common. Her energy, spirituality and life philosophy is very inspiring. I’m very grateful to be around her. I remember our first conversation about music as a spiritual experience and time portal, and it really stuck with me. She has this beautiful way of seeing performance as something bigger than just entertainment.
Next up, you’re joining the legendary Sugababes on their UK arena tour in April. What was your initial reaction when you discovered you’d be supporting the pop icons?
I screamed! Literally. Sugababes are legendary. They’ve been such a huge part of pop music history, and their harmonies, their songwriting, their energy – it’s all just iconic. The fact that I get to share a stage with them is beyond exciting. I can’t wait to bring my world into their universe and hopefully win over some new fans along the way. I’m also super excited to show my different sweet and sugar side. I’m preparing a new set especially for this tour.
To anyone who’s never seen you live, how would you describe your performance?
It’s theatrical, intense, and emotional – but also a space where you can completely let go. I want my shows to feel like a fever dream, like stepping into another dimension for an hour. There’s a lot of movement, a lot of raw emotion, and definitely a lot of sweat! I always want people to leave feeling something, whether that’s empowerment, nostalgia, or just the thrill of being in the moment. When I’m on stage with my band, we just step into different reality and take people with us. The connection with people is pure magic.
You have a distinct style and flamboyant persona, exploring an eclectic array of outfits and otherworldly makeup. How did you create your signature look and do you hope to keep exploring your style?
My style is always evolving, but I think it comes from this desire to create a world around my music. I love blurring the lines between fantasy and reality – fashion and makeup are just another way to tell a story. My inspirations range from surrealism to sci-fi to baroque and vintage couture, and I’m constantly experimenting. I never want to stay in one place too long, so you’ll definitely see my style shifting and growing with each new era of my music. I get inspired by places I visit, emotions and feelings I go through.
How do you think your persona reflects the lyrical themes in ‘No Rest’?
‘No Rest’ is about movement, transformation, and desire – things that I also express visually through my persona. I think the restless energy in my music is reflected in my performance style, my visuals, and even my aesthetic. I love creating contrasts: something delicate but powerful, ethereal but raw. The album is all about the tension between wanting to belong and wanting to run, and I think that energy is present in everything I do. I have ADHD and I am a very restless soul. I’m constantly moving and flowing with moments. The world just never stops for me.
You’re truly on the road to superstardom. Whilst you’ve already made some amazing achievements this year so far, what’s next for you? Any new music in the works?
Thank you! It’s been such a crazy year already, but I’m definitely not slowing down. The Sugababes tour is next, and then…let’s just say, there’s a lot more music on the way. I’m already deep into writing the next project, and it’s taking me in some really exciting new directions. There are also some dream collaborations in the works, but I can’t say too much yet. All I’ll say is: stay tuned. This is just the beginning.
