Luna Royale has released her new single “Sex & Sadness” across digital music platforms..
The track is a confession of desire that takes form as an anthem for the romantic self-saboteurs. “Sex & Sadness” is a song about the pleasures of cinematic love flings, the struggle to settle down and the frustration of craving the emotional turmoil that comes with a toxic love affair. A soft Bossa Nova pulse opens the track in intimacy before unraveling into a beautifully chaotic storm, distorted guitars colliding with sweeping strings and Luna Royale’s moody, cinematic vocals—leaving you wanting to dance, cry, and smoke a cigarette over a glass of red wine in solitude. Listen HERE.
With this emotionally charged second release, Luna Royale reminds us that she has a juicy Hollywood story to share that she’s weaving into her high-vibrational alternative world.
Listening to Luna Royale (the new artistic identity of a hit songwriter whose work has garnered over a billion streams) feels like whispered secrets while lounging at the Chateau Marmont with a rock ’n’ roll legend. Drawing on her inspiration of her small town roots and the contrast of her time spent in the Hollywood party scene she creates soulful new wave rock anthems that leave you deep in thought and deliciously undone. Personifying ’70s glamour through a modern, whiskey-soaked lens, she blurs genres like only a hopeless romantic in vintage Dior lingerie and diamond-encrusted geek bar ever could. Her lyricism paints vivid scenes for city girls and nature girls alike—capturing the quiet ache of modern love, the hunger for fame, and the tenderness of feeling too much in a world that rewards feeling less.
