E
clipsing what
it means to be
young and in
love, Lunar takes
us on a journey through her music
from the toxicity of being a dependent
to finding solace after heartbreak.
Her introductory song ‘Glad You
Stayed’ tells the turbulent story of a
young relationship frequently under
the strain of persistent arguments.
Despite the obvious inevitability of the
relationship ending, the songstress
describes her love as an addiction,
citing this as the reason for her
unwillingness to leave what seems to
be a rather disruptive period in her
life.
Resonating with the young adult
audience her music is aimed at
through her violently honest lyrics,

Lunar lays bare her emotions to tell
the tragically beautiful story of young
love and all that goes with it.
Her writing style is uniquely
situational, with her personal charm
seeping through unlike many in
the industry today, this arguably is
because of a profound love for poetry
which acted as an introduction to her
songwriting.
“I first got into music through poetry.
I began writing poems when I was
younger, and this eventually turned
into writing songs. I’ve always loved
music and writing, so it made sense
that I was inevitably going to write
music.”
Lunar manages to dominate various
styles of the pop genre, experimenting
with fun loving tracks like ‘Pretty Face’
that exudes the typical fascination
of young love. The track proved an
Using synth heavy
production filled
with lyrical sass and grit (and the
odd swear word), Lunar gifts us with
her latest creation ‘Miss U No More’.
Empowering her listeners and young
women alike, she is independent with
a new vibe that is stronger than her
previous tracks.
Each track the songstress releases
tells us a new part of her life and
despite her identity still remaining a
mystery we can’t help but feel like we
know her through her willingness to
be personal and raw.
Looking to the future, Lunar is
currently working with producers to
release new tracks this summer with
the possibility of releasing an EP later
this year. We look forward to hearing
the next chapter of her life.
