Moonchild Sanelly has released a new single titled ‘Big Booty’.
It marks the second track from her forthcoming as-yet-unannounced studio album. The song, out now on Transgressive, features lyrics in both English and Xhosa and was produced by Johan Hugo.
“Big Booty is a tongue-in-cheek romantic love letter to… my big ass!” she explains. “She’s always been with me, after all. I own my body and I love it, and I hope this song helps everyone else love theirs too. My love and appreciation for my body comes from a sense of ownership – this beautiful body is MINE, and I celebrate owning it. It isn’t easy to love your own body, especially as a woman… people tease you for the things that are unique, and uniqueness becomes part of your magic. My booty and twerking are part of my energy, my magic – so however you’re shaped, however you walk, whatever your size – don’t be ashamed, own it! Your body is part of your magic. It’s not the size of the booty, it’s the size of the attitude!”
Moonchild adds: “The hook came from when I was laughing in my head at the fact the things people teased me about when I was young, they’re now paying to get… everyone wants a big ass and I had this thought – “If I had a big booty I’d f*ck up the world… Oh wait – I do, and I already am!”
‘Big Booty’ follows recent releases including ‘Sweet & Savage’, ‘Scrambled Eggs’, ‘Big Man’ (a collaboration with Self Esteem), and ‘Mad’ featuring Steve Aoki. Details of Moonchild’s upcoming album are expected to be announced later this year.
The release comes ahead of Moonchild’s performance at Green Man Festival this weekend.
