Aluna Gets Glamorous With New Single

Everyone needs a little glamour in their life. While it may look like different things to different people, it’s usually something highly desired – and something we all crave deep down.

To be quite honest, anyone can be glamorous! Aluna’s new single “Oh The Glamour” will put you further in touch with that side of you that craves the nicer things in life. Joined by Eden Prince, MNEK and Pabllo Vittar, the track presents a fabulous listening experience for those who crave excitement and pleasure.

Aluna asks, “What is the allure of glamour? To me it holds most of its power in the aspirations of those living a life of struggle. Glamour can uplift the worst of days and the darkest of hearts, make tears beautiful and pain graceful. My mother always worried about my expensive taste, but for me it was the taste of survival….for who can live this miserable life without a touch of glamour?”

“Black and LGBTQ+ people go through a lot of shit, but we often present ourselves as glamorous,” she continues. “Being glamorous is an aspiration that drags you out of bed. Aiming for normal and average is a way to send yourself into the shackles of society. Glamour can often be a method to break free, celebrate, and thrive.”

“Oh The Glamour” is a sprinkle of magic from Aluna’s forthcoming sophomore album MYCELIUM, arriving July 7 via Mad Decent.

“The Mycelium is the cell network seeped into the fabric of nature,” says Aluna. “I’m not talking about the bloom or the fruits. You need to lay the groundwork to see the fruit one day. I got burnt out from trying to work with powerful people who have lots of money and no actual genuine care for what I’m trying to do. I realized there was no foundation where I was standing, and we have to build our own foundation. It’s not going to be all bells and whistles; it’s going to be substance. So, I broke some barriers and started mentoring creative fans. I built a community of Black Ravers on Geneva and by joining groups on Instagram and social media. Now, the album is my community I’ve created.”

I literally can’t contain my excitement for MYCELIUM. For now, let’s listen to “Oh The Glamour” together below!
