Moonchild (stylized as MOONCHILD) is the debut studio album by Indonesian singer-songwriter Niki. It was released on 10 September 2020 by 88rising and 12Tone Music.
This album was composed over the course of two years. [1] It has been described as a concept album. [2] The album is divided into three parts. According to a press release from 12Tone Music, these three parts represent three lunar phases of self-exploration: crescent moon (innocence, curiosity, embarking); half-moon/eclipse (loss of hope, disillusionment); and the full moon (self-discovery, strength). [3]
Speaking on the title of the album, Zefanya stated in an interview with Hypebae [4]
The word “moonchild” came to me when I was going through a phase of being up at ungodly hours of the night strictly to write music. I realized how much more energized and stimulated I felt at night compared to the day, and I referred to myself as some “child of the moon” because of it."
The album was originally scheduled to be released in late 2019, but was pushed back a year later on 10 September 2020. [5] [6] The album's first single, "Switchblade" was released on 2 April 2020. The album's second single, "Selene" was released on 16 July 2020. [7] [8] The third and final single from the album, "Lose" was released on 13 August 2020.
On 10 October 2020, Zefanya held a virtual livestream concert titled the Moonchild Experience. [9] [10] It was streamed on YouTube for global audiences and KASKUS TV for Indonesian viewers. [11]
In January 2021, Zefanya collaborated with clothing brand Guess, releasing clothing inspired by the album. [12]
