Moonchild Sanelly is setting the tone for 2025. On Friday, January 10, the eccentric and unapologetically bold musician dropped her third studio album, “Full Moon”, and it’s already clear that this is a project like no other.
Known for her fearless approach to music, fashion and life in general, Sanelly is exposing her unapologetic self to the world.
In December, she teased her fans with the release of “Tequila”, a single that gave us a taste of what’s to come.
Now, “Full Moon” is here and it’s a masterpiece. This album is more than just a collection of songs but rather Sanelly fully embracing her essence.
If you’ve ever felt the energy shift under a full moon, you’ll understand exactly what she means when she says, “Full Moon is me, lit up in my entirety. The arrival of my whole self.”
In an exclusive chat with “TshisaLIVE,” Moonchild explained her creative process and what the album represents: “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."
For her, the full moon is a declaration. It’s the moment when everything in her life —every emotion, every experience — comes together in a powerful, radiant display.
This project is raw, real and full of every emotion you can imagine from fights, sadness, getting back up, letting go, forgiving and accepting.
“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,” she said.
And true to her word, “Full Moon” is a journey from start to finish. Each track is a testament to Sanelly’s growth, strength and power.
The album features 12 hits that showcase her unique approach to music — a mix of unapologetic self-love and empowerment.
As a trailblazer in the industry, Sanelly uses her platform to encourage others to embrace their true selves.
She’s all about independence, self-confidence and owning your power.
From her distinctive sound to her bold fashion choices, Sanelly shows Mzansi — and the world — that authenticity is the key to success.
After blessing us with “Full Moon”, she’s ready to take her music global. Sanelly will embark on her headline tour of the UK and Ireland in March, starting in Manchester on March 18.
The tour will hit Dublin, Leeds, Glasgow, Birmingham and Bristol, before concluding with a show at London’s legendary Heaven on March 26.
