Moonchild Sanelly shares new single and video, ‘To Kill A Single Girl (Tequila)’: Watch

Moonchild Sanelly has shared a new single, ‘To Kill A Single Girl (Tequila)’.

It’s the fourth track to be unveiled from the South African artist’s forthcoming album, ‘Full Moon’, which will be released by Transgressive on Friday, 10th January. Billed as a break-up song with tequila and alcohol more widely, the new cut comes backed by a video, which you can watch below.

Speaking about her destructive relationship with alcohol in writing the track, Moonchild Sanelly said: “I had to let go. I’m always truthful but I had unnecessary thorns when it came to my truth. It was potentially ruining my relationships.”

Jesse Roth, who directed the song’s visual, added: “The concept for this video is a playful take on Moonchild’s love/hate relationship with tequila. Using a Snorricam chest camera fixed on her unmistakable face and hair, the aim was to create an immersive perspective that reflects intoxication, whilst keeping the energy of the video playful and positive.

“Filming took place from the hotel to the taxi to the venue, culminating in the live performance at Colours. Whilst the video blends scripted elements to reflect the lyrics, we also had lots of candid, unplanned moments, such as Moonchild’s interactions with fans and in the dressing room with her team, so you get a real feel for the raw energy on that day. The unpredictable nature of capturing spontaneous moments adds an exciting, authentic layer to the film and keeps me happy as a director, as I love those elements you can’t plan for 100%.”

‘Full Moon’ is Moonchild Sanelly’s third studio album. She announced it alongside lead single ‘Do My Dance’ in October.
