The Swedish singer and songwriter Moonica Mac today releases her latest single "25k", which is the second taste from the upcoming album "Blau Hajmel". The new song marks a clear artistic statement, both musically and lyrically, as it conveys self-respect and closure following a previous relationship. With her characteristic blend of sharp observations and warm soundscapes, Mac delivers a work that is both biting and liberating, demonstrating her continued growth as an artist.
The road to "Blau Hajmel" has involved major life changes for Moonica Mac. Since her previous album "PART TWO" (2022), she has experienced both losses and new beginnings, including moving from the big city to a small village in Dalarna. These experiences have inspired and deepened her songwriting and will shape the new album, which will be released on October 30, 2024. The album is described as her most varied and cohesive yet, with a focus on capturing both the beautiful and the heavy aspects of life’s changes.
In creating "Blau Hajmel", Moonica Mac has continued her close collaboration with the duo Linus and Hannes Hasselberg, whose shared artistic vision leaves a mark on arrangements and production. The collaboration deepens the expression established on previous projects, while also tightening it and bringing it closer to the listener. Mac also highlights inspiration from Mavis Staples’ latest album, indicating a sound that emphasizes authenticity and emotional clarity.
"25k" stands out as a powerful anthem of self-respect in relationships. According to Moonica Mac, the inspiration for such a song does not always have to come from dramatic events, but when it does, it can foster a meaningful and honest creative process. The single unites pinpoint lyrics with her warm yet distinct musical style, further strengthening her already impressive song catalog.
The commitment surrounding "Blau Hajmel" now also extends beyond the studio as Moonica Mac embarks on an extensive Sweden tour. The tour, named “Det vilar en Blau Hajmel över mig TOUR”, kicks off in Lund on November 7, 2024, and will take her to a range of cities and venues through December. Audiences can look forward to concerts where both new material and previous favorites are performed in the thoughtful and sensitive style that has become Moonica Mac’s hallmark. The album will be available digitally, as well as on CD and vinyl.
