Tennessee-based artist Naz, a 19-year-old alternative rock artist who goes by the stage name NazTheMoon, has started to make a real impact after making her entrance this year. Originally hailing from Louisiana, Naz recently set out on her artistic journey, armed with a guitar, powerful vocals and a passion for creating music.
In the heart of her bedroom, Naz pours her soul into songwriting, crafting lyrics that cover themes of mental health and personal struggles. Her musical influence draws from the raw energy of rock and metal, with Dream State, Sleep Token, Glass Heart and Spiritbox providing inspiration through their works.
Earlier this year she made her explosive entrance to the music scene with her debut single “Local Freak Act” and now she already back with the follow up. Bringing us her sophomore single, she shares the brand new track titled “Crimson,” song written about the mental health struggles and battles with addiction.
Recorded in Memphis with her producer Ryan, with her second outing, NazTheMoon distils her alternative rock and post hardcore inspirations into a powerful musical experience that seeks to provide solace for others who can relate to the lyrics. Opened with the sorrowful plucks of a clean guitar drenched in reverb, the song erupts with the crash of drums and driving distorted chords.
Dropping the energy to make way for her vocals, Naz threads melancholic leads carrying poignant storytelling lyricism that recounts a tale of growing up to fast and becoming trapped by the pitfalls of succumbing to addiction. Injecting charing rhythm, the pounding drums propel the crunching guitar backing to form a formidable sound in the chorus, contrasted by the delicate, yet commanding vocal performance.
Brimming with storming rock aesthetic and instilled with a profound message, “Crimson” sees this exciting newcomer go from strength to strength on her second outing. As she continues to share her thrilling sound, 2024 is shaping up to be a breakout year for this artist on the rise.
