Norwegian singer-songwriter Moyka (Monika Engeseth) returns with her third album, BULLSEYE, released through her own label, MOYKA. Icy electropop sets the tone as the album ventures into the Moyka’s mind, leaving nothing hidden. BULLSEYE captures the reality of personal transformation, bringing anger, chaos and fear to the surface.
Moyka explains:
“On this album there are songs where the angry teenager in me has been allowed to take charge, my chaotic mind has been allowed to unfold, and fear has been captured in the moment. I felt a lot of pressure on myself to tell these stories the right way, and after writing over 200 songs since the last album, I was left with these ten. I didn’t want anything to hide behind, I wanted to freeze a moment in time that felt raw, untouched and real. It feels like I got there, hitting the core of myself, Bullseye.”
From the opening track, BULLSEYE is exhilarating, driven by heart-pounding beats and glitchy vocals that intertwine with the sleek electronic production. Beneath the high-energy sound, Moyka takes a deeper dive into her personal history, making this her most revealing album to date.
“Music has always been my saving grace, ever since I was a child, and especially through turbulent teenage years marked by mental illness and unstable caregivers. It has always helped me understand what I’m experiencing better, and given me a place to put my feelings. That’s how I knew this album was the right format to tell these stories in.”
