HoneyLuv Unplugged: The Making of 'Move Your Body' - An Exclusive Interview

Join us as we delve behind the scenes with the talented HoneyLuv, exploring the infectious track 'Move Your Body.' From headlining shows in LA to being a Billboard "Dance Artist to Watch," HoneyLuv's making waves. Discover the narrative, the collaboration, and the enchantment that shapes this summer's hottest song.

HoneyLuv, how did the collaboration between you and Will Clarke come about for the track 'Move Your Body'? 

Well, Will and I are really really good friends so it was just a matter of time before we had done something together. We also are just huge fans of each other so it was already written for us to do so. 

We understand that Moxie Knox provided vocals for 'Move Your Body'. How did you decide to work with her, and what was the experience like collaborating with an emerging talent like her?

Moxie is also a friend of mine that I met last year, and at the time, she was singing R&B, and her tracks were doing amazing. She was just so talented in general, and it wasn't until I invited her out to one of my shows where she saw how amazing house music was. I like to say that from that point on, it was history – she wanted to get involved.

'Move Your Body' blends various elements from house and techno. What was the creative process like in the studio when crafting this track? Did you face any unique challenges during the production?

We had started off with something slightly different than what we have now – it was a straight club record, but it was fire. We eventually turned it around to make it more radio-friendly as well, and I think we accomplished that very well. Will and I work so well together that the process was smooth and easy; we were just catching a vibe.

The song's description mentions it's expected to be one of the hottest house tracks of the summer. What do you think sets 'Move Your Body' apart from other releases in the genre?

I mean, you are never gonna find a HoneyLuv and Will Clarke-sounding tune from anywhere else. It’s a blend of our two worlds together, so it’s our baby, and it’s only one of them, lol.

You've been making waves in the dance music scene and have been recognized as a 'Dance Artist to Watch'. How has your journey been in shaping the sound of dance music while staying true to the roots of house?

I’m still a student. I'm still figuring out how I want my sound to sound. I feel that during the last two years, I have definitely found myself more, and my taste has been refined for the better. The music that is coming from me now is coming from my soul and that sound is only going to grow and get better.

You've previously collaborated with artists like Seth Troxler and Harry Romero. How does the creative process differ when working with different artists, and what do you look for in a collaborator?

I feel my creative process is the same, but I go in knowing the artist. So, I know what sounds I would use or create when working with each one. As for looking for collaborators, I just look for people I like and whose music I love – it works best that way for me. Harry and Seth are two huge DJs that have influenced me along this journey as well.

'Move Your Body' arrives during your 'Summer Of Luv' Tour, with upcoming festival stops at Tomorrowland, Defected Festival, Life Is Beautiful, and more. Which festival are you most excited about performing at, and what can fans expect from your live performances?

I’m excited to play at all festivals in Europe, to be honest. The scene here just gets it, and I love the love for real house that they have here. It’s beautiful to see and experience. I also don’t want the fans to expect anything, but to have an open mind and heart, because music is experimental – you never know what song may touch you that day. I would say, just expect to have a good time, get your soul fed, and dance your heart out.

Let's talk about the music video for "Move Your Body"

I wouldn’t say a music video but it’s just a visual of Will and I doing crazy things in the studio. It was all improv and just us having a good time being silly. 

What's next on your musical journey? Are there any exciting projects or collaborations in the pipeline that you can share with your fans?

My musical journey continues by finding myself in the music and putting out the music I want to hear. I’m still on a journey of discovering what that may be, so it’s exciting and also scary, but I’m looking forward to it. I have a few collaborations coming up – one with the amazing vocalist Cakes da Killa, and I also did a tune together with the dope producer Nez. So, I’m excited to get those out to fans.
