Ukraine-born, Paris-raised, Los Angeles resident Ana Luna is a musical storyteller, mixing the cinematic with straightforward honesty. For years, she kept her songwriting private as she pursued acting, but once it came time for college, she fully embraced her musical gifts. She blends alt-rock, dream rock, and moody ballads into something sultry and deeply personal. The release of her album “Tainted Silhouettes” marks her emergence as a fully fledged artist with a vision for her work that is uniquely her own.
“Tainted Silhouettes” is a blend of soundscapes and intimate vocals, unfolding a story of finding beauty in breaking and having to begin again. If you’re someone who enjoys staring out the window and imagining that you’re in a movie, this is the album for you. The album starts off with “Fairy Tales,” a song that’s nothing short of truly cinematic with its overlapping, choir-esque vocals and beautiful piano melodies. The album takes a heavier, almost darker turn as it transitions into “Dance in a Trance,” as it reflects on a relationship that has ended, and Ana reflects on everything that happened during that time. My favorite song off the album, “Burn You,” comes near the end of the album, with haunting vocals and delicate piano and instrumentals that give the track an almost dreamlike tone. Ana continues to take us along on her story all the way through the final track, “Love Virgin,” a stripped-down track about starting over again and the uncertainty that comes along with that.
About the album, Ana comments: “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.”
Ana 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.”
