“The Next Time…” Is a Song About Coming Home to Yourself
Starri & The Moonchild are redefining the boundaries of pop with their raw, retro-futuristic sound — a mesmerizing fusion of dreamy hymns, freak folk, and cosmic indie pop. Their music pulses with rebellion and vulnerability, echoing a world where 70s psychedelia meets mystical storytelling and modern introspection.
With ethereal vocals, layered instrumentation, and hauntingly cinematic live performances, the duo transport listeners into a sonic realm where the past and future collide in luminous harmony. Every song they craft feels like a secret whispered through starlight — intimate, evocative, and unafraid to wander.
Their latest track, “The Next Time…”, recently featured on Off The Record’s Fresh OPM Finds Mixtape #2, cements their place among the most exciting acts shaping the future of Original Pilipino Music.
At its core, “The Next Time…” is a journey toward self-acceptance — a nostalgic, Sampaguita-inspired anthem that glows with the spirit of Fleetwood Mac. It speaks of learning to find home within yourself, to embrace imperfection, and to love authentically. Through its dreamy melodies and timeless message, the song becomes both a mirror and a muse.
Starri & The Moonchild are not merely musicians — they are storytellers weaving emotion into sound, creating space for dreamers, misfits, and wanderers to feel seen. With every release, they continue to blur genres and expectations, proving that true artistry lives where courage meets wonder.
