Denai Moore previews third album with new single "Motherless Child"

15 May 2020, 15:21 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Denai Moore is back with "Motherless Child" - the third single from her forthcoming Modern Dread album.

"Motherless Child" follows on from previous singles "Cascades" and "To The Brink", and arrives with a trippy 3D CG video created by George Jasper Stone, which Moore says is supposed to depict "a warped shell of a human dancing on their own in a big space."

Of the song itself, Moore adds, ""Motherless Child" was a song that I wrote years ago that didn't work for other projects. Alex [Robertshaw] and I decided to revisit it and start completely from scratch, and then it suddenly felt much more fresh and exciting. This song is about detachment, loneliness & feeling really isolated from the world around me, which feels crazy releasing it in isolation during a pandemic."

Modern Dread will be Moore's third album, and first since 2017's We Used To Bloom.

For the vinyl release, Moore will be pressing the LP onto eco coloured vinyl - an idea pioneered vinyl manufacturer Modo. It combines leftover colours of other vinyl pressings, which helps to reduce waste, and can provide an impressive, unique, and colourful outcome.

"Motherless Child" is out now. Denai Moore's Modern Dread album drops 3 July via Because Music, and is available to pre-order now.
