#MusicExchange: Moonchild Sanelly releases new EP

The EP is set to position her as one of the year's greatest breakout artists, with her electrifying music and unique style ready to take on a global audience.

Nüdes is packed with Sanelly's quintessential infectious energy and is sure to keep you dancing for the entire EP.

Sanelly shares about the EP: "The whole EP is about liberation. I have a range of fun experimental sounds mixed with day to day [or night to night ;)] - concepts and stories associated with my mission of liberation. Nüdes is a record of self-empowerment. Only you have the power to make you happy. I want to have every woman knowing every bit of their existence is worthy of being loved and valued. Knowing that you are that bitch. Owning it and saying it unapologetically."

The project follows the announcement of her feature on the Gorillaz upcoming album Strange Timez for the track "With Love to an Ex" as well as her feature in Beyoncé's Black Is King visual album for the song My Power.

Fearless, inclusive and a lot of fun, Sanelly is only just getting started.

Her iconic personal style combined with an outspoken approach to female sexual empowerment has earned her collaborations with Beyoncé, Die Antwoord, Gorillaz, Diplo and Wizkid and built her a devoted fanbase.

She is "a global superstar waiting to happen", according to Damon Albarn.
