Trailblazing South African musician and artist Moonchild Sanelly is back with a brand new track Scrambled Eggs, out now via Transgressive!
‘Scrambled Eggs’ is produced by Johan Hugo (Self Esteem, Miguel, M.I.A) and is the first single to be taken from Moonchild’s forthcoming new studio album, which will apparently be announced later this year. This song is described as a joyous return for this singular performer and creative visionary whose signature, self-described future-ghetto-funk sound first catapulted her onto the global scene, and has since seen her collaborate with everyone from Beyoncé to Ghetts, Gorillaz to Major Lazer and Wesley Joseph to Wizkid, as well as release two acclaimed solo albums Rabulapha! (2015) and Phases (2022).
Moonchild said of Scrambled Eggs – “When I started staying in the GOOD hotels, I noticed how the world is obsessed with avo and eggs for breakfast. It became a thing… you get avo & eggs for breakfast at the good places …”
My writing recently has been me at my most humble, and Scrambled Eggs is me reminding everyone – by the way, I AM that bitch! I’m a multi-passport artist travelling the world in custom designs and doing it all on my terms. And I’m really f**king proud of that.
The video for Scrambled Eggs was directed by Jabu Nadia Newman and shot last month in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is an action-packed, chaotic and carefree caper – and a celebration of female-led business empires – styled by Chloe Andrea Welgemoed and featuring costumes by South African designers Siyababa and Sihle Masango and inspired by Johannesburg’s cutting-edge style and playfulness.
The Scrambled Eggs video marks my arrival at the beginning. It’s the beginning of being in THAT space; this new world that this crazy, amazing, powerful, beautiful gang of absolute muthaf**kers built together. This world contains everything I’ve ever worked for… These are my people, and this is our superhero moment.
