There’s an undeniable magic in watching an artist grow into their full creative power. With the release of her new single ‘Personal Torture’ and its strikingly cinematic music video, Polish pop artist LUNA is redefining the boundaries of what pop can be.
In ‘Personal Torture’, LUNA steps boldly into new territory, embracing darker themes, richer visuals, and a sound that feels both timeless and cutting-edge. It’s the kind of work that doesn’t just demand attention but holds it, refusing to let go.
The music video for Personal Torture is less a backdrop for the song and more an extension of it. At its core is a mirror, an age-old symbol of self-reflection, yet here it feels alive, almost sentient, surrounded by an uneven metal frame that resembles something grown rather than built. LUNA’s journey begins in a bright, almost sterile blue-grey room, dressed in flowing white, her movements delicate but deliberate as she confronts her reflection. When she steps into the mirror, the room turns crimson, the lighting ominous and all-encompassing. The softness of her white dress is replaced with a commanding red gown and corset, her black hair a stark contrast to her earlier purity. It’s as though the mirror has stripped away her outer shell, revealing the raw, unfiltered essence beneath.
On the surface, ‘Personal Torture’ is a masterfully produced electro-pop track, its pulsing bassline and 80s-inspired synths driving an infectious beat. But beneath that polished surface lies a deeper narrative. The lyrics pull no punches, speaking directly to the quiet battles we all fight—expectations, doubts, and the relentless pursuit of something more. There’s a weight to her words, a feeling that these lyrics are lived experiences.
‘Personal Torture’ is a bold declaration of who she is as an artist and where she’s headed. Her early work, like the atmospheric ‘Nocne Zmory’, hinted at her potential, but this feels different. This feels like the arrival of an artist who has fully found her voice, and is certainly an artist to watch for 2025.
