Ethereal singer-songwriter Ana Luna has released her debut album, Tainted Silhouettes. The 9-track record features past singles including "Dance in a Trance," "Daddy's Empire," "Can We Pretend We Just Met At A Bar?," and "Bleeding Pen," alongside five brand-new songs.

On Tainted Silhouettes, Ana Luna's sharp artistic instincts come fully into focus. Woven with cinematic soundscapes and hauntingly intimate vocals, the album unfolds as a meditation on memory, pain, and renewal. It drifts between vulnerability and transcendence, finding beauty in breaking apart and becoming whole again.

About the album, Ana shares, "Many of these songs weren't written with a project in mind. They were simply me processing what I was feeling in real time. I was experiencing big emotions while trying to look inward and understand what was behind the anger or sadness — the triggers, the perceptions I had about what happened in my relationship, and within myself. When it came time to produce the songs, I had one goal: to make them raw but cinematic. I wanted the music to feel like a movie, like your emotions, which are intangible, had suddenly become something you could touch."

She continues, "I've always been told I feel things too deeply, that I'm 'too much.' Instead of shrinking that part of myself, I leaned into it. I made these songs deep and intense to show how powerful emotion can be when you let yourself feel it fully. They became my source of healing and understanding. While I hope they resonate with many, they're especially for the deep feelers — the ones who look inward, who want to understand, and who find themselves in the act of feeling."

Born in Ukraine, raised in Paris, and now based in Los Angeles, Ana Luna is a natural storyteller whose music blends cinematic grandeur with unflinching honesty. After years of keeping her songwriting private while pursuing acting, she fully embraced music in college, crafting a sound that fuses dream pop, alt-rock, and moody ballads into something sultry, celestial, and deeply personal. With her debut record Tainted Silhouettes, Ana Luna emerges as a fully realized artist with a voice and vision uniquely her own.
