Red Moon In Venus is the third studio album by Colombian singer-songwriter Kali Uchis, released on March 3, 2023.
In her newsletter, Uchis explained the meaning of the album’s title:
Love is the message. Red Moon in Venus is a timeless, burning expression of desire, heartbreak, faith, and honesty, reflecting the divine femininity of the moon and Venus. The moon and Venus work together to make key aspects of love and domestic life work well. This body of work represents all levels of love—releasing people with love, drawing love into your life and self-love. It’s believed by many astrologers that the blood moon can send your emotions into a spin, and that’s what I felt represented this body of work best.
The album was first teased in April 2022, when the singer tweeted that her “third & the next are both finished”, one being in English and the other one in Spanish. Then on January 3, 2023, the singer announced both projects will be released in 2023.
In the end of 2022, Uchis started posting snippets of the album tracks on TikTok and asked fans to choose the first single. “I Wish you Roses” was chosen and released on January 19, 2023. The following day, the singer posted a teaser in which she revealed the album’s name and a new snippet.
On January 23, Uchis officially announced the album tracklist, along with the release date and the Red Moon In Venus Tour, where RAYE was announced as the opening act.
Yes, Apple Music features an animated artwork for this release.
