For over a decade Anna Lunoe has carved out her own path in dance music. As one of the most innovative and consistently captivating DJs and producers in the scene, she has put out good work time and time again. As a listener, every time you see Anna Lunoe put out a track it is a must listen as you never know what it’s going to be, but you always know it’s going to capture your full attention. Today, Lunoe releases her debut album, Pearl, A high-spirited journey that sees her elaborate production, diverse influences, and creative touch tie together for an incredible sonic journey.
Via NLV Records, Pearl comes in at 13 tracks featuring sounds of the early 2000s, garage, hyper-pop, and more to fuse together for a vulnerable yet clubby album that perfectly matches Anna Lunoe’s vibe. Lunoe stunned fans with previously released records from the album like “Real Love,” “Right Here” with TEED, and “Deep Blue Sea”. All being very jubilant and high energy records. Newcoming standouts include “Body Heat” with Bristol-based DJ J.O.S.H.U.A. A bass heavy evocative number that’s perfect for a dark sweaty club. The album’s focus track, “The Seed,” also arrives today. Inspired by early 2000s trance and embraces the ‘rave magic’ that Lunoe grew up loving. It was also created her first demo day in February 2023 leading up to the creation of Pearl.
Although long awaited, Pearl arrives at the perfect time for Anna Lunoe. This album tells the story of how music connects and moves us through the lens of the Uber talented and always elevating Lunoe. On the album, she had this to share:
“When I started out in dance music as a local DJ, my dream was to fill dance floors and pay my rent. As my career expanded and the industry changed and I got thrown into new challenge after new challenge, I always felt like my artist voice had to be secondary to my DJ needs. So in a way this marks a kinda colossal shift in perspective on my career to date, putting my artistry at the front in a way I never have before.”
To celebrate the album Anna Lunoe will begin her headlining North American Tour in November with stops in Brooklyn, Denver, Chicago, LA and more. She will also be supporting Dom Dolla in London at Drumshed’s November 15th and is set to appear at Boiler Room Eora/Sydney December 7th for a b2b with Nina Las Vegas.
