Prelude Press – An independent music outlet focused on discovering and sharing the best emerging artists and diving deeper with the ones you already love.
Singer-songwriter Ana Luna is back today with her striking new single “Bleeding Pen.” Building on past releases like “Daddy’s Empire,” “Dance in a Trance,” and “Can We Pretend We Just Met At A Bar?,” the track sets the stage for her debut album Tainted Silhouettes, arriving November 7. “Bleeding Pen” is a slow-burning, cinematic ballad that pairs dramatic instrumentation with Ana’s haunting, ethereal vocals. The song examines guilt and memory, unraveling the tangled ways we reckon with both the pain we cause and the pain we carry.
“The song explores the guilt of hurting someone through both sides,” Ana shares. “On one hand, it is me apologizing and admitting I never meant to hurt my lover. But it also acknowledges that through that pain, I was forced to reflect and discover things about myself I may never have realized otherwise.”
The narrative ultimately leaps into the future, confronting the impermanence of heartbreak. “No matter the pain, eventually we just become part of each other’s stories, a faint memory,” Ana continues. “One day, I hope we will laugh about it because we will realize we were just kids. And I hope I will be remembered as something good, not only as something bad.”
Born in Ukraine, raised in Paris, and now based in Los Angeles, Ana Luna is a natural-born storyteller whose music blends cinematic grandeur with unflinching honesty. After years of keeping her songwriting private while pursuing acting, she fully embraced music in college, developing a sound that fuses dream pop, alt-rock, and moody ballads into something sultry, celestial, and deeply personal.
Ana Luna’s sharp artistic instincts come fully into focus on her debut album Tainted Silhouettes, out November 7. The record offers a meditation on memory, pain, and renewal, serving as an opening statement that captures both the intimacy of her personal story and the universality of what it means to heal.
