Renowned for her infectious positivity and radiance, indie songstress Moonlyn is on the sole mission to spread joy through her music. With the release of her latest single “Here & Now,” Moonlyn is preparing to release her new full-length album Possessed by Angels on October 17. Her third studio album marks her latest record release since her 2010 album Blondes Prefer Gentlemen.

Her upcoming album is an incredibly vulnerable release, as it began to take shape at a dark point of Moonlyn’s life. After undergoing a serious cancer diagnosis and surgery during lockdown in 2020, she began to work on Possessed by Angels as a way to find light within the darkness.

“It helped me focus on the good, stay positive, and keep moving forward,” she says. “After getting past the 'why me?' moments and the tears following my cancer diagnosis, I made a choice – I didn’t want to be unhappy, I wanted to make good use of whatever time I have left here.”

Her latest single, "Here & Now," was the first track Moonlyn worked on for the upcoming album. With its distinct 90s acoustic rock vibe, the song carries a powerful message about the importance of focusing on the present moment and devoting all your energy to the here and now. In less than a month, the song and its accompanying video have garnered over 250,000 streams, resonating deeply with listeners and making a strong connection with a wide audience.

“It was a song that my friend Peter had sent to me for me to add my talents to,” Moonlyn says. “I focused on everything I’m grateful for and poured all my energy into creating an album full of positive music with inspiring messages. Now, I want to share these messages with the world – to spread happiness and hope and to inspire others to do the same. Sharing my love with the world through my music is what's keeping me strong.”

With catchy melodies and lyrics that celebrate life's sunny side, Moonlyn invites you to a world where every beat is an invitation to dance, and every note is a burst of happiness. Within the music of Moonlyn, you will find nothing but inspiration, positivity and one uplifting tune after another.
