Anna Lunoe & Melanie C – Girl

Anna Lunoe“one of Australian dance music’s biggest exports” today comes together with pop pioneer and former Spice Girl Melanie C for their brand new single ‘Girl’ out now via NLV Records.

Previewed live at London superclub Drumsheds in November last year, ‘Girl’ displays the apex to Anna Lunoe’s genre-agnostic sound and Melanie C’s celebrated sonic landscape. A joining of dance music forces, the collaboration is anthemic pop at the highest level, bridging their own synonymous styles with powerhouse vocals from Melanie C and Anna’s high-energy production.

A long-admired listener, Anna Lunoe shares, “People say never to meet your idols but getting to meet Mel backstage at Coachella in 2024 and subsequently become friends was one of my favourite moments of last year! It’s been so amazing to get to know the wonderful person behind the icon and this song found its home with Mel’s incredible vocal tone and heart! Is this actually happening? Ahh!”

Extending on the UK garage and early 2000s elements explored in her recent debut album PearlAnna Lunoe continues her love for dance music through common ground and connection as she welcomes Melanie C’s generational dynamism. Complete with a transcendent bassline and commanding vocals, ‘Girl’ plays to the strengths of both artists like never before and reads like a heart-to-heart – “I got all these things on my mind, and you know it / You got all these things on your mind, and we know it / Cause we got all these things on our mind / Gotta let them go”.

On working with Anna, Melanie C unveils “After meeting at Coachella last year Anna and I have become great friends,  we have so much in common, our love of music, being mums and dancing our asses off. I’m super excited to be collaborating on ‘Girl’, it’s a banger!” 

Eora/Sydney-born and based multi-talent Anna Lunoe has built a career few can rival and a reputation as a revered voice, leader, and pioneer in dance music globally. Always at the cutting edge of electronic music, her 2024 debut album Pearl devoted itself to boundary-pushing new sounds, exploring every corner of club music and finding what feels truest to her, combining the perspective that experience brings with a new clarity, vision, and energy. Aside from securing triple j Feature Album, her debut brought features across the board from Mixmag AU/NZBandcamp, Rolling Stone, WonderlandBillboardMusic Tech, EDM.com and widespread radio support from BBC Radio 1, KCRW, Apple Music, Foundation FM, Rinse FM, Reprezent Radio, Sirius FM, fbi.radio, RTR FM, SYN FM and more.

Additionally, she brought her glass ceiling smashing sets across the world, from Boiler Room Sydney to Beyond The Valley, she supported The Weeknd on his 2024 After Hours Til Dawn tour, brought headline shows to venues in the US including Elsewhere (NYC), Smartbar (IL), Sound Nightclub (LA) and to the UK in support of Dom Dolla at Drumsheds. Re-approaching her love for dance music as a genre that has guided her through her life, Anna’s creative direction is sonically adventurous, one that relinquishes over a decade of production depth and storytelling to forge her own narrative.
