Controversial South African singer Moonchild Sanelly is starting the year on an exciting note with the release of her highly anticipated album, Full Moon, set for Friday, January 10. The 40-year-old artist, born Sanelisiwe Twisha, described the album as a deeply personal reflection of her journey. Full Moon is not just an album title; for Moonchild, it represents the culmination of her life’s phases, a moment of unity where all parts of herself come together in harmony.
“This album is a reflection of everything I’ve gone through in the past few years,” Moonchild explained. “It’s the arrival of my whole self, lit up in my entirety.” She compared the phases of the moon to her own growth, noting that just as the moon shifts between phases, so too does her life experience. Full Moon captures the entire spectrum of emotions she’s encountered—from struggle and sadness to self-empowerment and forgiveness—ultimately leading to her transformation into the person she is today.
The album also highlights Moonchild’s unwavering commitment to women’s empowerment, a theme she’s long championed in her music. “I’ve fought hard to be where I am today,” she said, reflecting on the challenges and obstacles she’s faced as an artist. “In my writing, I pay homage to the struggles, the fights, and the victories, because they’ve shaped me. I want women to know their power—whether it’s in the bedroom, the boardroom, or just in life.” For Moonchild, the release of Full Moon is not just a musical achievement but a declaration of her strength and resilience.
In addition to the album, Moonchild will be embarking on a European tour from March 18 to 26, performing in cities like London, Leeds, Glasgow, Bristol, Manchester, and Dublin. With Full Moon marking a new chapter in her career, Moonchild Sanelly continues to prove that she’s an unstoppable force in the music world, and her journey is far from over.
