Moonchild (stylized as MOONCHILD) is the debut studio album by Indonesian singer-songwriter Niki. It was released on 10 September 2020 by 88rising and 12Tone Music.
This album was composed over the course of two years.[1] It has been described as a concept album.[2] The album is divided into three parts. According to a press release from 12Tone Music, these three parts represent three lunar phases of self-exploration: crescent moon (innocence, curiosity, embarking); half-moon/eclipse (loss of hope, disillusionment); and the full moon (self-discovery, strength).[3]
