Luna Li at Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay

“Luna has real classical music chops, and her tracks often have more bubbling under the surface than your usual indie pop.”
– npr

Embarking on her first Asia tour, the magnetic Luna Li returns to Singapore for her first headlining concert here.

A wildly talented songwriter, arranger, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Luna Li’s sonic universe is a perfect amalgamation of her many talents. Through intricate instrumental melodies and multi-layered arrangements, the Korean-Canadian artist weaves together a sonic universe of dreamy, baroque-pop with elements of soft rock, charming a growing legion of fans with her unique brand of cinematic dream pop.

Having first garnered attention online in 2020, she went on to release her debut EP, Duality, featuring the likes of Jay Som, beabadoobee, and Dreamer Isioma. This record generated hits such as Afterglow, Misery Moon and Silver Into Rain, and garnered a Juno Award nomination for Alternative Album of the Year. This rising star went on to open and tour with the likes of Japanese Breakfast, Wolf Alice, and beabadobee.

But set against When a Thought Grows Wings, her debut feels like a stepping stone to her sweet spot. This sophomore album is a snapshot of its creator influx. For the 27-year-old, born Hannah Bussiere Kim, the journey was tumultuous, pivotal and necessary. After splitting with her partner of eight years and leaving her hometown of Toronto for Los Angeles, she found her world opening in new ways.

Weaving her harp-rippled, baroque-pop through with jazz flute and gritty riffs, the album is a testament to Luna Li’s prowess as a charismatic front person, songwriter, arranger and continuously curious multi-instrumentalist. Making her debut at Esplanade for her first headline show in Singapore, Luna Li is set to sweep audiences off their feet with her undeniable stage presence and unique sonic palette.
