The album included classics sung by Alex (music theme from the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "Ave Maria", etc.), as well as compositions that no one had heard before. The album "Svet luny" did not find wide distribution in Ukraine because it stood out too much in terms of its style and content from the general mass of works of Ukrainian artists. But he was successful in Germany, Norway and Switzerland.
The presentation of the album and the third video clip took place in the Column Hall of the Kyiv City Hall. The debut music video for the song "Light of the Moon", which gave the title to the album, was created by director Angel Gracia, who at one time worked with such world stars as Madonna and "Enigma".
The legendary composer, the founder of Italian disco, Claudio Simonetti, was interested in Alex Luna's unique voice. For a long time, the maestro was looking for a performer whose voice would be combined with the unusual mystery of the musical style in which Simonetti works. And when the composer heard the singing of the young Ukrainian performer Alex Luna, the maestro came to Kyiv to meet the singer personally.

Alex Luna's performance with a children's ensemble at the opening of the main Christmas tree of Ukraine became traditional.
The pseudonym Alex Luna was invented by the director Angel Gracia during the filming of the clip "Light of the Moon" for two reasons: to avoid confusion with pop singer Oleksandr Tyshchenko of the 90s, the performer of the song "Prima Ballerina"; this nickname is more in line with the image and style of the artist.

Clips
2007 - Moonlight, English version: Moonligh (director - Angel Gracia)
Alex's debut clip became a sensational video work for Ukraine. The idea was proposed by Angel Gracia, a director known for his videos for Paris Hilton, Enigma, and Madonna. It was based on the plot of the romantic fiction novel by Edgar Poe - "The Mask of the Redof death". Angel showed in the clip how the prince, surrounded by a chic mail, refuses to play silly games, pathetic spectacles in his castle. He confidently moves from one room to another to stop the play. But in the end, he discovers that he is one of the characters of the carnival.
2008 — Night, English version: Night (director — Yevhen Timokhin)
Evgeny Timokhin proposed an unusual solution: to shade the emotional coloring of the text with computer graphics. Namely, with needles that stitched the performer with red threads. At the end of the musical story, the singer's eyes are closed and his mouth is sewn with these red threads. This act has a deep philosophical meaning.
2008 - Hands to Heaven (director - Oleksiy Fedosov).
The presentation of the clip coincided with the presentation of the album "Svet luny". Alex is the author of the music and text of this composition, in addition, he himself chose the location for filming the clip and developed his style and image of the main character.
