Moonchild Sanelly Embodies Her Free Spirit in ‘Do My Dance’

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Moonchild Sanelly embodies the term ‘free spirit’. This South African artist offers a hyper-active, electrified sound that is a big liberating middle finger to societal expectations. Her new single ‘Do My Dance‘ addresses her rule-breaking, and is the feel-good anthem we all need.

If you’re new to Sanelly, she has claimed her own genre – ‘electro-pop ghetto funk’. Weaving in elements of Afro-fusion, rap, and dance music, she is making something you can’t get from anyone but her. She is completely open about sexuality and showcases her rebellious spirit through her outfits, makeup, clothes, nails, and of course, her trademark blue hair.

Furthermore, you may know her from her link-ups with Beyoncé or Ghetts. Perhaps it was her recent showcase on the incredible Ezra Collective record ‘Streets Is Calling‘ that caught your attention. Either way, this talent is getting serious UK love – many of her upcoming UK tour dates sold out in a flash.

‘Do My Dance‘ opens with claps and her catchy hook, instantly letting listeners know this is a sing-along anthem. Thereafter, she jumps into an accelerated flurry of feminist statements, flexing her finances over feelings approach to relationships. She invites women to reclaim their time and do whatever they want indulgently.

‘I don’t take no rules from a mouse.’ she chants. This multi-faceted musician is a lion and will do her dance no matter what. Further to this, the singer’s unconstrained lyricism matches the fast-paced energy of the production. The instrumental feels chaotic and perfect for the club.

She brings this electrifying aura to all her music, which translates to her on-stage presence. This song hits hard through headphones, but I can only imagine the out-of-body experience it will bring to audiences when this is performed live.

This single drop was accompanied by a major announcement – her album ‘FULL MOON‘ is coming in January. The record promises to represent all the phases of her life, like the phases of the moon. In other words, it will be a kaleidoscope of emotion, of which ‘Do My Dance‘ is just one part. In conclusion, this single has wet our appetite for the project, and we can’t wait to see her next steps.
