moonsea – I’ll kill you if you die before me

Melbourne’s moonsea (aka Cecilia Xu) returns today with a tongue-in-cheek, albeit slightly sinister-sounding track called ‘I’ll kill you if you die before me’.

Despite its menacing title, the song is actually a tender and heartfelt ode to love, and the fears it can bring when you wonder what life would be like without your special someone.

moonsea has been a prominent name within Australia’s and New Zealand’s alt-pop scene from as early as 2020, when she was mentored by Gordi (aka Sophie Payten) as part of AIR’s Women in Music program.

Alongside her work as a musician, moonsea is also professionally involved in the world of medicine, which often inspires her approach to songwriting.
