LGBTQIA+ activists Jan Paaul & Nixxon, plus-size model and actress Mareike Flügge, and dancer, model and singer Lie Ning star alongside Moli in her newest video for ‘Disconnected’. Co-directed by Moli alongside Perez, the clip is a weird and wonderful tale of different worlds colliding within the walls of a classic art nouveau hotel based in Berlin. Moli and her colourful posse are all connected in a series of events. But something seems a little off… ‘Disconnected’ delivers a lighthearted message with the persuasive and instantly recognisable voice of Moli – what does not kill us makes us stronger. ‘Disconnected’ offers as an introduction to the Belgian singer-songwriter’s second EP to be released later this year on Embassy of Music.
After the release of her debut solo single “Didn’t Mean To” in 2018 was described as “breaking apart the ambiguities of modern romance” by The Line of Best Fit, it was clear that Moli was on the right path. Her debut EP Résumé, released on Majestic Casual later that year, only continued to push the then 19-year-old further into the spotlight, with Clash Magazine calling it “Bright, vivid, neon-lit pop music, each song makes a deep and lasting impression, with an astute lyrical touch that seems to nail each topic”.
By the start of 2019, Moli showed no signs of slowing down and independently released “Nowhere” and “Lonely Nights”. A few months later, she decided to take her chances and took to London where she met producer Chris Zane, who is known for his work with Passion Pit, Friendly Fires, Bat for Lashes and Chloe Howl. With the two forming a natural musical bond, combined with Moli’s admiration of the glamorous aesthetics of the 80s and the icons of French cinema of the 70s, her writing evolved and paved the way for a fresh body of work: “Talking In Emotions”, “On the Weekend” and “Something I Said”.
As a songwriter, Moli has co-written and featured on several productions over the past years. Her recent cuts include the 2020 mega-hit “Breaking Me” by German producer Topic and Swedish singer A7S which is currently taking over the world by storm. She also co-wrote the recent single by Lost Frequencies which features Kelvin Jones & Zonderling, “Love to Go”. With currently over 15m+ streams over all platforms and Top 15 in German and Dutch radio charts, the single is set to be her next worldwide success as a writer.
Freshly signed to Embassy of Music in Berlin, Moli is now preparing the release of her second EP. A release that reflects the personal and artistic transformation of an artist on the verge of exploding on the international pop scene. Displaying a high level of maturity at only 21 years old, Moli is confident that she is about to deliver an intimate, personal and engaging EP.
Moli has been featured globally by tastemakers such as Paper, Wonderland, Girls Are Awesome and Complex.
