Indeed, Supermoon is perhaps Zap Mama's most emotionally honest and intimate recording in a discography that spans fifteen years and six albums. "With Supermoon, I reveal the way I chose to live when I started my career. It's very intimate, beginning with my choice of the picture on the cover of the album. You're seeing me very close up. I hope that's a kind of intimacy that people will understand. I'm opening a door to who I am, and revealing myself for all to see." The title track sets the tone for the rest of the record by extolling the virtues of genuineness over artifice. As Daulne explains: "I'm not a superstar and I don't want to be, because all the superstars look like each other. I prefer to be me. Unique. Like a moon - a 'Supermoon.' Friends, lovers people around us - they're our 'sun' and make us shine. And it's important in life to find a person or people who do just that. If you idolize others too much - whether it be musicians, movie stars or media superstars - you lose sight of yourself. But if you listen to the voice inside yourself, and surround yourself with similarly wonderful people, you'll keep your center."
