Interview: Luna ready to eclipse her pop rivals in 2025
Find out why 'Eurovision' star Luna is ready to become the breakout out pop star of 2025...
Polish pop star Luna is ready to take 2025 by storm.
The 25-year-old singer - full name Luna Wielgomas - was Poland's entrant for the 2024 'Eurovision Song Contest' and in 2025 she wants to go worldwide.
We caught up with her to find out everything about her upcoming second album 'No Rest', how she became obsessed with music and what it's like to represent your country at Eurovision...
Contact Music: Hi Luna, what an incredible year 2024 was for you, from representing Poland in Eurovision to announcing your sophomore album, 'No Rest'. What has been a standout moment for you personally?
Luna: Thank you so much! This year has truly felt like a whirlwind of dreams and transformation. Representing Poland at Eurovision was unforgettable - standing on that stage, feeling the collective energy of millions, was magical. But I think the most standout moment for me was hearing the final master of 'No Rest'. It felt like I was holding a mirror to my soul and realising how far I’ve come, both as an artist and as a person.
Let’s go back to the beginning - when did you first get into music, and what drew you to it?
I feel like music has always been woven into the fabric of my being. Growing up, I was enchanted by sounds - I performed in the opera and ballet, I played the violin. Music felt like a portal to another dimension where emotions could live forever. And where I could live forever, safe and secure. I started creating my own songs as a way to bottle that magic and share it with others.
'No Rest' explores themes of resilience, self-discovery, and overcoming personal struggles. What message do you hope listeners take away from this album?
'No Rest' is a love letter to anyone who has felt lost but kept moving forward. I want listeners to know that even in moments of chaos and exhaustion, there is beauty in resilience. Life isn’t about perfection - it’s about embracing your scars and celebrating your strength. I hope the album feels like a safe space for people to reconnect with their inner light.
Do you have any special or fond memories from the recording process?
So many! One that stands out is recording '8AM' in the morning dawn. It was just me, the microphone, my producer Fyfe and this raw energy in the air. It felt really personal and intimate. Also traveling to different places, immersing myself in new environments, and meeting such a diverse range of creative minds was unforgettable. Every person I worked with brought their own unique energy and perspective, which helped shape the album in ways I couldn’t have imagined.
'Personal Torture' is a striking addition to your electro-pop catalogue. What inspired the track, both in terms of its sound and lyrics?
'Personal Torture' is about the push and pull of being your own worst critic - those moments when you feel trapped in your own mind. Sonically, I wanted it to feel both haunting and cathartic, like a storm breaking open. The distorted synths and pulsing beats mirror that internal chaos, while the melodies offer a sense of release, a way out of the darkness.
The accompanying music video is visually stunning, portraying a narrative of inner conflict. How did you collaborate with the director to bring this powerful story to life?
Thank you! A friend of mine recommended me the director and when I found out her name is Kassandra I knew I had to work with her (laugh). It felt like a mythological sign. We found a language right away. We wanted the visuals to feel like a surreal dreamscape - otherworldly but deeply personal. We drew inspiration from mythology, exploring the idea of battling your own shadow self. Every shot, from the cracked mirror scenes to the underwater sequences, was designed to reflect that inner struggle and ultimate release.
Your music videos are often rich with cultural references. Did this one draw inspiration from any specific films or artistic movements?
Absolutely. Visually, we were inspired by one of my favourite movies - Ingmar Bergman’s 'Persona'. The film’s exploration of identity, duality, and inner conflict felt like a perfect parallel to the themes in Personal Torture. There’s also a nod to the surrealism of Salvador Dalí - fluid, dreamlike imagery that blurs the line between reality and imagination. And of course, a touch of modern electro-pop aesthetics to tie it all together.
Can you name any artists you’re currently loving?
I’m loving Chappell Roan for her bold, nostalgic energy, Michelle Gurevich for her hauntingly intimate melodies, and Luvcat for her dreamy, surreal storytelling. They’ve all been inspiring me lately!
If you had to describe 'No Rest' in just three words, what would they be?
Resilience. Vulnerable. Liberating.
In 2025, you have so much to be excited about - a European tour and the release of 'No Rest' on February 7. What are you most looking forward to, and is there anything else fans should keep an eye out for?
Honestly, 2025 feels like a constellation of dreams coming together! I’m beyond excited to connect with fans during the European tour, it’s where the music truly comes alive. I’m also thrilled to see how 'No Rest' resonates with listeners; it’s the most personal work I’ve created so far. And yes, there are surprises!
