ON THE RADAR MOYA
Speaking to Music Week, 21-year- old Moya - described by Perez Hilton as the ‘female Bruno Mars’ - says her music can predominantly be categorised as soul-pop. However, there are plenty of other influence below the surface, too. Making Me Fall, the singer’s lat-
est single, will get its full release on September 24. The digital version is already out on Four To One Records, a label which Moya “kind of just fell into”, via an independent deal discovered through her manager. The single is about the pursuit of
the perfect man and has been described by Team Moya as ‘string- laden piece of intelligent pop’.
“The male vocal really gives it an
extra something,” says Moya of the track.“I like to think it reflects the connection you can have with someone you love.” The artist’s album Lost and
Found - out on October 8 - is an eclectic collection of songs with highlights including the beautiful and slightly sinister title track, as well as the particularly soulful tune Technicolour. Aside from working on the
album, Moya has been busy play- ing some standout live dates, which included her festival debut at Meadowlands, followed by an appearance at Beach Break Live in Wales.
HE SAID / SHE SAID “
She says her performance at the
Welsh festival “was definitely the best experience of my musical career so far”. She was left pleas- antly surprised with how many peo- ple came to see her, a relatively unknown act, playing in a slot which clashed with dance music titans Chase & Status. Looking forward, Moya’s
ambitions include “getting a sup- port tour” and she’s confident she can hold her own in the live realm. “My songs are made to be
played is big spaces because they’ve got some really big instrumentals.” she says. “They could fill arenas.” What Moya really cares about
though, is knowing that people love her music and that “they’re singing it in the shower in the mornings – that would be pretty amazing”. She touches down in London
