Aluna Signs to Mad Decent, Confirms Upcoming Solo Album And Releases Dancefloor-Ready New Song “Body Pump”

English singer/songwriter and frontwoman of electronic music duo AlunaGeorge, Aluna is branching out and beginning her solo career, signing a deal with Los Angeles based record label Mad Decent. Aluna has also confirmed her debut solo album is in the works, and released the album’s first single,  “Body Pump”.

“Body Pump” is an instant club hit, outfitted with the pulsing bass drum, house synths, and Aluna’s seductive vocals.  The energy behind the song is seemingly limitless, and even amidst a quarantine invited the listener to dance for hours. Aluna makes her presence felt with her delicate voice, and sets the tone for what appears to be an exciting solo debut.

Mad Decent founder and longtime friend of Aluna, Diplo spoke on her signing: “I’ve been a fan of Aluna for years – her voice, her style and her way of putting records together. Having her sign to Mad Decent feels like a family reunion – can’t wait to get these records out to everyone. Huge project for Mad Decent.”

AlunaGeorge is new to the electronic scene releasing just two albums since their formation in 2009, but have already achieved international appeal for their work. The duo recently made an appearance for Twitch’s Stream Aid 2020 in an effort to raise money to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
