Every so often, an artist emerges with such magnetic energy and raw authenticity that you can’t help but stop and pay attention. Polish electro-pop sensation LUNA is that name you’ll want to remember in the coming year. With her emotionally charged single ‘Personal Torture’, LUNA releases a stunning music video that feels as much like performance art as it does storytelling.
The opening scene is almost hypnotic: a cool, bluish-grey studio with a jagged, organic mirror at its centre. LUNA, ethereal in a white dress, sings to her reflection with a sense of wonder and unease. There’s a vulnerability to the way she moves—like she’s searching for answers she’s afraid to find.
Then, she steps through the mirror, and everything shifts. The world is bathed in deep red light, and LUNA emerges transformed. Dressed in a corseted red gown with black hair, she exudes power, but there’s still an edge of desperation. It’s a breathtaking visual metaphor for confronting the darker, unfiltered parts of yourself.
The final act brings the story full circle. The two versions of LUNA—light and dark, soft and sharp—stand on opposite sides of a glass wall, singing to each other. It’s hauntingly beautiful and deeply symbolic, capturing the tension between self-acceptance and self-doubt. This is storytelling at its finest, every moment saturated with meaning.
Speaking about the song, LUNA shared that it represents a moment of raw honesty and self-reclamation. “‘Personal Torture’ is a moment of honesty and clarity, a raw snapshot of what it means to reclaim yourself. I wrote it in Stockholm, feeling a thousand miles from my comfort zone yet closer to myself than ever. There was this storm of realisation, like I’d been spinning in circles, tied to expectations and illusions that weren’t even mine. I thought I had it all—but really, I was caught in my own ‘personal torture. This track is about stepping out of that spiral, flipping the table on what no longer serves, and finally putting yourself first. We all have our own ‘personal tortures,’ those battles and expectations that we sometimes don’t even notice we’re carrying. Here’s to choosing ourselves, even when it’s the hardest thing to do.”
Representing Poland at Eurovision 2024 with her evocative hit ‘Wild West’, LUNA is now doubling down on her momentum. The electro-pop visionary has been steadily carving out her place in the spotlight, but ‘Personal Torture’ marks a turning point. It’s bold, vulnerable, and completely unafraid, setting the tone for what’s shaping up to be an extraordinary 2025.
