The heartfelt “Luna” is a moody success from bodyofwater, the project of London-based artist and composer Emily Izen Row. Dream-pop and folk components linger aesthetically, the acoustical backing and chasmal rhythms conjuring a ghostly folk-forward feeling initially. “I don’t wanna feel alone,” the vocals let out, followed by textural components with orchestral flourishes. “I’ve got so much to prove,” the vocals continue, with a late-night lounge vibe emitted via the piano and solemn vocals. Lyrics poignantly speak of losing motivation and feelings of control, the latter referenced in the heartrending chorus. “Luna” is a beautiful piece of songwriting from bodyofwater, drawing favorable comparisons to artists like Weyes Blood and FKA Twigs.
