Miné has officially dropped her latest single, “MOONJUMP,” and it’s a bold new chapter in the rising Nigerian-American artist’s sonic evolution. Out now on all major streaming platforms, the track delivers high-octane energy laced with emotional depth, capturing the essence of escapism and the courage it takes to leap into the unknown.
Known for previous singles like “Crave.” and “Born, Not Raised,” Miné has built a reputation for introspective storytelling grounded in personal experience. With “MOONJUMP,” she turns that introspection outward, offering listeners an anthem about pushing beyond limits—personal, emotional, and societal. The opening verses dive headfirst into internal conflict, setting the stage for a euphoric chorus that hits like liftoff: “Take one trip and jump to the moon to shout YA YA YA YA YA.”
Born in Baltimore, raised in Lagos and Boca Raton, and educated across the U.S. and Japan, Miné’s music reflects a globally informed perspective. Her academic background—holding Master’s degrees from both Cornell and Keio University—shapes her disciplined lyrical approach, but the sound of “MOONJUMP” is anything but restrained. It’s rhythmic, layered, and defiantly expansive.
Lyrically, the song takes big swings without losing clarity. “If I could have one wish, I’d play God for a day / End disparity, sow empathy, send evil away…” It’s a rare mix of ambition and accessibility, delivered with both vulnerability and strength.
While her past work explored connection and identity, “MOONJUMP” represents a turning point. It’s not just about reflection—it’s about propulsion. This is Miné looking skyward, refusing to stay grounded.
“MOONJUMP” confirms what her earlier releases hinted at: Miné is here to carve out her own path, one fearless leap at a time.
