Aluna has announced her second album, ‘MYCELiUM’.
The full-length will be released on 7th July via Mad Decent and Because Music, preceded by early teaser single ‘Oh The Glamour’ – a collaboration with Pabllo Vittar, MNEK and Eden Prince.
“What is the allure of glamour?” Aluna asks. “To me it holds most of its power in the aspirations of those living a life of struggle. Glamour can uplift the worst of days and the darkest of hearts, make tears beautiful and pain graceful. My mother always worried about my expensive taste, but for me it was the taste of survival….for who can live this miserable life without a touch of glamour?”
“Black and LGBTQ+ people go through a lot of shit, but we often present ourselves as glamorous,” she continues. “Being glamorous is an aspiration that drags you out of bed. Aiming for normal and average is a way to send yourself into the shackles of society. Glamour can often be a method to break free, celebrate, and thrive.”
