Emerging singer and songwriter Ana Luna returns today with the music video for her latest single, “Dance in a Trance.”
Co-directed by Noah Hoffman, Will Curtis, and Ana Luna, the video takes place in a surreal bedroom set within a vast warehouse, blurring the lines between reality and inner emotional space.
At its core is a masked man and a masked womanârepresenting Anaâs ex-lover and her past selfâlocked in a dance that unfolds as Ana (present-day, unmasked) watches, intervenes, and ultimately confronts her past. The masks serve as a powerful symbol of emotional distance and anonymity, allowing viewers to project their own stories onto the characters.
âI chose to keep their faces hidden because itâs not about any one personâitâs about the emotion,â Ana explains. âI want viewers to project their own stories onto the characters, not be told who they are.â
The visual expands on the trackâs themes of memory, identity, and the ache of trying to reach someone whoâs right in front of you but never truly sees you. The video renders that internal duality in physical form: the masked dance as a representation of the past, the surreal setting as a reflection of Anaâs emotional worldâa vast, empty space with a single bed at its center, highlighting how small one can feel beneath the weight of unresolved feelingsâand her final kiss to the masked man as an act of closure, not reconciliation.
Born in Ukraine, raised in Paris, and now based in Los Angeles, Ana Luna is a natural-born storyteller whose music is as cinematic as it is emotionally raw. Though sheâs always known she was destined to be an artist, Ana initially led with acting and kept her songwriting close to the chest. It wasnât until college, after years of emotional growth and inner work, that she finally gave herself permission to stop overthinking and dive fully into music. Over time, sheâs shaped a signature sound that moves effortlessly between dream pop, alt-rock, and moody ballads, creating songs that feel celestial, sultry, and reflective.
Ana approaches music as a form of therapy and storytelling, using it to process wounds, examine behavior, and carve out space for healing. Her songs explore the complex emotional layers beneath the surface, asking where our feelings come from, what they reveal, and how they shape the way we see the world. As she readies her debut album, Ana Luna is channeling her voice into songs that invite connection, introspection, and healing.
