Moon Allure Unveils Soulful New Version of “Erykah’s Interlude”
Rising R&B and neo-soul artist Moon Allure returns with an intoxicating update to her fan favourite track Erykah’s Interlude, now featuring the lyrical genius and poetic flow of Grammy nominated rapper D Smoke. This collaboration blends Moon Allure’s hypnotic vocals and lush production with D Smoke’s bilingual lyricism, creating a fresh sonic experience that is both timeless and deeply personal.
Originally released in 2023, “Erykah’s Interlude” quickly became a listener favourite for its smoky, late-night groove and soulful nod to the eclectic spirit of Erykah Badu. In this new rendition, D Smoke weaves verses that broaden the track’s narrative, offering reflections on love, self-discovery, and resilience.
Speaking on the making of the track, Moon Allure says: “Erykah’s Interlude is about the sacred space two people create in love, a space that holds grace no matter where life takes you. It’s about honoring the layers you discover in someone over time. This song reminds me how beautiful and warm being in love feels.”
Representing Compton, California, Moon Allure delivers R&B that’s as smooth and soulful as it is cinematic. A filmmaker and artist, she directs all her own visuals, creating music that feels like a full sensory experience, turning each song into a piece of art. As the founder of Young MovieMakers of America, she’s taught hundreds of kids the power of storytelling, proving that creativity isn’t just her craft, it’s her calling. Moon Allure is here to leave her mark on R&B and show the world the stories, soul, and artistry that Compton creates.
Her single Erykah’s Interlude has become one of Moon Allure’s highest-streaming tracks to date, independently surpassing two million streams on Spotify alone. A new version featuring Grammy-nominated rapper D Smoke adds a fresh dimension to the record. “Having D Smoke on this track was really something special,” says Moon Allure. “I really appreciate his poetic approach; his verse paints vivid pictures of moments with someone he loves. I believe his verse really complimented my feminine energy and the way I speak on love in the song. His honest and artistic contribution really added another layer to the listening experience.”
Collaborating with an artist who also represents Los Angeles makes the song even more meaningful. This release marks another bold step in Moon Allure’s growing impact on the R&B scene.
