Cuja has proven to be the new, sultry diva on the block, who has broken out onto the music scene with her dreamy, Jessie Ware-esque, debut EP ‘Vol. 1’. It begins with ‘Maneater’ which throws a catchy chorus into the mix, on top of an atmospheric, Electro Ballad production. ‘New Friends,’ delves into 70’s inspired Disco music production via the use of an overlapping Bassline, very reminiscent of Giorgio’s Moroder’s famously unique sound which we all fell in love with on Donna Summer’s Dance anthem ‘I Feel Love.’ However, when the main hook drops you will be sent straight into Reggaeton bliss, with…

Raign wowed us last year with Pop Rock anthem ‘Out Of Time’ and her epic, debut album ‘Sign,’ so much that we were left anticipating more new music soon, and this Friday one of the UK’s best vocalists drops a brand new single entitled ‘Walls.’ Penned to be the first single from the deluxe edition of the powerhouse singer’s debut, ‘Walls’ takes on a slightly different style to Raign’s previous body of work…it is a dance track. Delving into the realm of the Sarah McLachlan and Delerium 1999 collaboration ‘Silence,’ specifically DJ Tiesto’s remix, Raign hypnotises us with her mezzo-soprano,…
The multi-talented Munkey Junkey has dropped his new single ‘Look Out Below’ and we are instantly reminded of the Lo-Fi, distorted Trip-Hop beats of production mastermind Tricky, whilst Junkey delivers an eccentric swag and a vocal tone not too dissimilar to US rapper Macklemore. What is interesting about ‘Look Out Below’ is that considering its fuzzy, industrial-esque synths and laid-back, “flanger-effected” vocal performance, on paper you wouldn’t think, universally, that it would appeal to a mainstream audience. However, the track cleverly performs a minor to major chord structure under a quirky melody, on top of a mid-tempo Pop drum beat…
Anna Wolf is an extremely rare artist simply on the basis of her fearless experimentation. She has all the conventional quirks expected of an Indie Electro singer. For example, her vocals are a cross between Ellie Goulding and Diana Vickers at times, and she traditionally drops a finger picked arpeggio on the acoustic over chilled, drum programming. However, do you know anyone else that will randomly throw an unexpected and rhythmically Dubstep-esque chorus, in the vein of Sia’s ‘Elastic Heart,’ as well as eventually crossing over into Country territory via the use of “cowboy” line dancing tempo in its middle…
The multi-talented, experimental Chillout musician Mako is enhancing electronic soul with his cinematic track ‘Coyote,’ via its’ 4/4 up-tempo drum programming and smooth yet edgy, gravelly vocals and an overall fresh sound. Unusually, the instrumental, breakdown which drops after the second verse reminds me of the chilled, blissful sound of the famous William Orbit and Madonna collaboration from the Pop icon’s 1998 album ‘Ray Of Light,’ and when ‘Coyote’ opens with its’ multiple finger-picking on the electric, you think you will be taken on a rollercoaster Pop Rock ride. However, all these contradictions are what make Mako stand out from…
London’s famous East End nightspot Hoxton Square was lit up by the likes of three hot Urban music acts for a charity showcase organised and hosted by Girls Against The Machine. Neon Music had the pleasure of watching Electro Pop duo MOONOVERSUN, rapper Ashnikko and Alt-Synth singer Mavi Phoenix showcase some of their best material to date. Kicking off with Moonoversun, band members Isaac and Sofia could easily be the new, and more psychedelic N-Dubz, with a fresh yet edgy sound and a fantastic energy on stage. To any hardcore fans of Moonoversun, you may remember the infectious “Girls/Boys” and…
Stockholm’s multi-talented producer and songwriter has returned to the music scene after an 8-year hiatus with an exciting body of work entitled ‘Än’. Name The Pet’s brand new record kicks off with, perhaps unintentionally, a sound which is blatantly bringing back the old-school rhythms of UK Garage, and it has had us throwing shapes in TGIF mode on a Monday morning, in the form of ‘Radion lovar regn.’ Therefore, within seconds grabbing our attention with, not just their tribute to Tuff Jam and The Dream Team, but also with a smooth, unique vocal which, when sung in her lower register,…
Toronto delivers us another sexy R&B sensation…we present to you NINETOFIVE, a multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter who drops ‘Where Were You’ today produced by Jovan Jovanov. Upon seeing the heartthrob’s good looks you’d expect his new single to be based around the concept of being in love…but you thought wrong. He is bitter and angry, and delivers his “f*ck you” lyrics over a radio-friendly, mid-tempo Electro beat which, even though it throws you back to the ole-skool R&B, boy-band sound of 112, reminds of his Drake’s earlier material, such as the 2010 single ‘Find Your Love.’ Lyrics such as “where…
Beatboxer and Electro music producer SK Shlomo has finally dropped his long-awaited debut album and I the pleasure of hearing it to prior to its release. From the moment the vintage, Mario Kart-esque game sounds of ‘Silver’ kicks in, you are sent on an emotional journey right up to the unexpected, Folk-influenced conclusion, named after the album’s title ‘Surrender’. It is overall a musically diverse portfolio of work. Following from Silver’s minor chord structure performed on a reverb-effected piano, reminiscent of the early works of Industrial singer and songwriter Martin Grech, you are hit with the bongo drum rhythms of…
Ok…so before you form the opinion that DAVID44 is just another cheesy Pop singer, let us convince you otherwise. The singer has released his new single ‘I Feel Better On My Own,’ an understated piece of Pop art which has instantly grabbed our intention due to DAVID44’s deep and distinctive vocal performance. It throws us back to when John Newman first broke out onto the scene with his 2013 hit single ‘Love Me Again,’ and a superb piece of Synth Pop production, reminiscent of the celebrated skills of FrankMuzik. Throw a multiple, overlapping bass line that gives ‘I Feel Better…
