Moonchild’s ‘Starfruit’ in Billboard Top 10s

Moonchild’s new album ‘Starfruit’ has been keeping good company in the Top 10 of two of Billboard’s genre charts, reaching Number 6 in their ‘Current R&B Albums’ and Number 7 in the ‘Top New Artist Albums’ in the first week of its release. ‘Starfruit’ was sitting alongside Mary J. Blige, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak’s Sonic Silk project, Alicia Keys, the soundtrack from Questlove’s ‘Summer of Soul’, Big Thief, Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, Black Country New Road and more.

‘Starfruit’ is the fifth album from LA-trio Moonchild (Amber Navran, Andris Mattson, and Max Bryk). The result of ten years spent working and growing together, ‘Starfruit’ showcases the respect, musical understanding, and love the trio have, both for each other and for the noteworthy list of collaborators featured on the album. Bringing a host of beautiful melodies and personal lyrics, ‘Starfruit’ beholds offerings from Lalah Hathaway, Alex Isley, Tank and The Bangas, Rapsody, Ill Camille, Mumu Fresh, Chantae Cann and Josh Johnson. “This is our 5th album, which felt like a big milestone to us. They all added their magic touch to the songs and really brought the music to a new and special place,” Amber muses.

Alongside the LP’s extensive list of featured artists, the release sees Moonchild experimenting with new synths and sounds. While still rooted in their trademark tones, these textures and sound palettes elevate ‘Starfruit’ to new and impressive Moonchild musical territory.
