My Music Episode 303 - Lunar June

Taking inspiration from artists such as Lorde, The Japanese House, London Grammar, and James Blake, Lunar June is a UK artist on the ascendant. Her own unique sound blends the reflective lyricism and story-telling of the folk music she grew up on, meshed with the shimmering synths and dance-fuelled production of the electronic, indie and pop music she came to love. With an array of collaborations with the likes of Kölsch and Franky Wah, and performances at All Points East under her belt, it is now the turn of Lunar June to crash–land on pop’s Earth planet, with a clutch of new stellar tracks in her armoury. 2023 has already seen the release of her debut EP, which includes the sparkling, scintillating single ‘holding onto u’, championed by Phil Taggart, who pegged Lunar as "one of his favourite new artists of the year," alongside ‘you/feeling’, which has been supported right across the board, from Wonderland to NME, and on a radio tip, key support from none other than BBC Introducing’s Melita Dennett and Radio 1’s Gemma Bradley. June’s latest release - angsty hyper-pop anthem, ‘heart scream summer’ - has proven that she’s not just a one-trip pony, and the artist is beginning to turn heads. With a thought-provoking and unique music video to go alongside it, it’s apparent that there is so much more to come from Lunar June
