Moonchild Sanelly is gearing up for a monumental year with the announcement of her highly anticipated third studio album Full Moon on January 10 through Transgressive Records.

Speaking about the album, Moonchild said she'd penned a culmination of her experiences and emotions felt.

“I called this record Full Moon to convey a clear sense I got from living and writing these experiences. Phases showcased all my sides, the different phases of the moon, and this one is all those parts of me being in unison with each other. When the moon is in phases it shows parts of itself at a time. Full Moon is me, lit up in my entirety. The arrival of my whole self. It’s the arrival,” she said.

“This project has it all, from beginning to end. The fights, the sadness, the getting back up, the letting go, the forgiveness, the acceptance. There’s a sense of mental and spiritual togetherness that comes with forgiveness and it makes you whole. So here I am, a full moon.”

From Coachella in 2023 to gracing platforms such as Colors and being on Tidal's lists of artists to watch out for in 2025, Moonchild has been on a mission to leave an international footprint and she plans to go even harder in 2025.

She is set to embark on a headline tour of the UK and Ireland, kicking off in Manchester on March 18.

The tour will make stops in Dublin, Leeds, Glasgow, Birmingham and Bristol, before culminating in a spectacular show at London's Heaven on March 26.

“Boobeams — thank you for such an incredible year! Bring it on 2025.”
