Music News - Josie Moon Unveils Debut Album
27 May 2022 - 0 Comments
Today, Josie Moon Aotearoa-based alt-pop artist unveils her stunning debut record Paint Me How You Need Me. Threading her experiences of navigating the world in her early twenties in a collection of forward-thinking pop tracks, the debut record is a remarkable arrival which truly affirms Josie's status as one of the country's top artists to watch.
Teased by singles Victor Hotel, Más Que Nada, Deep Space, Never Die and Just Fumez, the record highlights Josie's inquisitive and eclectic approach to pop music, spanning soulful slow-jams, house-tinged anthems and jagged electronic production. It's an approach that has situated Josie firmly on industry and fan radars alike, recently landing a support slot for Crooked Colours, while previously playing shows with Tash Sultana and Chelsea Jade.
On the album, Josie shares; "Paint Me How You Need Me is about me navigating and situating myself in my late teens to early 20’s. It covers people pushing their expectations onto me as I decide to pursue music. It shares some of my first experiences with grief and fear and love. It also touches on my journey with depression and anxiety and how healing is a non-linear process."
24 year old Josie Moon is a singer-songwriter from Wellington, New Zealand. With a hypnotic and timeless approach to edgy pop music, Josie presents a fascinating combination of genres and influences to promote themes of self-exploration and healing to her audience.
Josie Moon’s commercial debut EP Rose Tinted (2018) was well received by critics and fans alike – Achieving 4 stars in the NZ Herald, #1 iTunes Top 200 Pop Chart (Czech Republic), After Hours reaching #9 on the NZ Viral 50 Chart; and TV/Radio support from MTV, The Edge, ZM & RNZ National. Not shy of the stage, Moon has clocked live performances alongside Tash Sultana, Chelsea Jade, Physical and Thomston; and has made festival appearances including Rhythm & Vines (Main Stage) and The Others Way, while her last show was a sold out double headline with Sam Cullen at Wellington’s San Fran.
In the years since, Moon has been invited to attend the esteemed APRA/AMCOS Songhubs writing camp; and has advocated for mental health & positive youth development via Converse x Coup De Main’s ‘Love Fearlessly’ campaign and appearances at National Young Leader Days (NYLD) across New Zealand – all while focusing her sound and completing her debut album Paint Me How You Need Me. Josie has been featured on Sniffers, Coup De Main and MILKY, and recently Just Fumez was featured on Spotify's crush playlist.
