Luna Paige at KKNK

PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS - March and April sees Luna Paige release the second season of her new music series.

In the “Calm after the storm” tour Paige is promoting the first two singles of her new season of the same title.

“Thank you” and “The River” were both recorded at Dave Langemann’s studio in Pinelands and features bassist Schalk Joubert, guitarist Frank Freeman and drummer Kevin Gibson.

Melissa van der Spuy worked on the tracks, creating beautiful electric soundscapes, and adding extra sparkle to Luna’s songs. Paige co-produced the songs with Dave Langemann, who last worked with Luna in 2014 on her album ‘Borders & Beyond’.

Her third single “Kiss of Africa” will be released in celebration of Freedom Day 2022 and will coincide with a special daytime concert in her hometown Stellenbosch.

Paige will be recording “Kiss of Africa” with students from the Abbey Road Institute in Midrand.
