Transcription

Background

When Marie-José van der Kolk adopted the stage name "Carisma", she performed as a featured artist on a string of DJ Sammy's single releases, such as "Life is Just a Game", "Prince of Love","Golden Child", "Magic Moment" and "You Are My Angel" as well as on DJ Sammy's debut studio album Life Is Just A Game, which heavily involved van der Kolk on vocals. In the Summer of 1998. Samuel Bouriah came up with a new project called Loona, leaned on the Spanish word "luna" for "moon", to serve as a more solo project for van der Kolk, instead of the continuation of "DJ Sammy feat. Carisma". Sometimes presented and promoted as a Duo, Bouriah stayed in the background for music videos and cover arts and kept producing Loona. The first single, which also appeared as a bonus track on Life is Just a Game, was the song "Bailando". By Autumn, it was followed by the second single "Hijo De La Luna". van der Kolk and Bouriah decided to release a full Loona studio album.

Content

Lunita provides a variety of genres, comprising ambient sounds, such as in the "Intro", with catchy, good mood, summervibe tunes such as "Bailando" and "Oye, Oye" with easy beats, sounds, melodies and simple lyrics. Other genres includes ballads recorded with classical and orchestral elements like "Hijo de la Luna", "Mamá" and "Maripossa" at the beginning of the album and the bonus track "Porqué". "Dónde Vas" and "Amor, Amor" are Flamenco guitar driven uptempo pop songs with a summervibe feeling. The song themes features positive things, love and good moods. The lyrics on the album are completely performed in Spanish, except "Another Christmas Without You", the only song with an English title and only Christmas song, and "Dónde Vas", both partly sung in English, and the "Intro" and "Outro", which features Spanish and English spoken-word bits by van der Kolk, Bouriah, their family and their friends. The album features the "Radio Remix" of "Hijo De La Luna", which is also known as the "Antonio Catania Remix".
