“Japan changed my world” Julia Church’s Japan is a unique song from what we are currently hearing. Her sound at times throws us back to early ’90s, R&B Pop, and it’s as if critically acclaimed chillout act Bonobo got themselves a lead singer, in the form of this unexpected singer-songwriter. The South-African beauty performs vocally with such a deep, full, professional tone, that you could easily place her in the same league as other artists such as Dua Lipa, and Birdy. “Admittedly, I have never actually been to Japan but have always been intrigued by it. It strikes me as a sort…

Tripping Up is a well-produced, insightfully written piece of music and one which has made alternative music artist MOLTENO instantly stand out from the crowd. It’s the kind of track you would add to your come-down playlist, when you are in a spiritual, yet emotionally-twisted state and sedated from the madness of the night before. What makes MOLTENO unique is her unusual vocal tone, which at times is almost reminiscent of Lou Rhodes from the critically acclaimed Folktronica band Lamb. However, it is also the singer and songwriter’s trippy, “leftfield” Electro sound which makes Tripping Up one of our personal…
What would Justin Bieber sound like performing an up-tempo, folk rhythm over an acoustic guitar as though it was a throwback to indie-rock bands, such as The Wannadies? We would proudly like to introduce you to Wesley Tucker, a singer, and songwriter who is taking pop music to a much more experimental level with his new single Weakness. As well as opening the song with an epic, reverb and the delay-effected guitar solo, performed in Rockabilly-style, Weakness heavily experiments with tempo changes, from a 2 by 4 slow jam beat in the verse sections, to 4 by 4 dance drum…
What do we have to say about Ceara Cavalieri? Well, if this naturally talented songwriter continues to release potential pop hits like her tasty new single Candy, she will undoubtedly have similar success to some current queens of pop songwriting, such as Bonnie McKee. Cavalier deserves this as an outcome of releasing one of the best pop songs of 2020 so far. The “background,” piano intro will throw you back to the famous opening of Katy Perry’s hit single ‘Roar’ and…speaking of which, Cavalieri is bringing back that cheeky, tongue-in-cheek, flirtatious persona, which we have been missing for way too…
They are calling Alt Bloom an alt-R&B / pop singer -songwriter, but he is so much more than that. After dropping his recent single Damn Baby, the jazz hip-hop scene may have a new man on its turf, with his confident, refreshing sound. The mid-tempo “kick & cross-stick” drums are reminiscent of psychedelic rock and funk rock tempos from throwback bands such as Funkadelic. And the slight acid jazz elements within Damn Baby’s production, via the use of alternative synths, such as the jazz-influenced melodies performed on a filtered piano and the Wurlitzer-sounding keyboard playing the chord structure, conclude that…
Free-spirited Latir releases the unusually captivating Wallflower. Latir is North London’s latest alternative R&B singer-songwriter, who has just dropped the charming music video for his new song. We are impressed, not just by the visuals and Latir’s sensual voice, but at how interesting and boldly psychedelic the sound of music producer Luvian is on the track. The chord structure is performed via trippy, wavy synthesisers, alongside a rhythmically unusual hip-hop beat further to the overuse of hard-hitting kicks, percussion, and hi-hats, with a deep bassline, which gives off a 90’s house influence. Overall, the production keeps things at a minimal so…
Frida Sundemo brings emotionally-charged dance music to the forefront with her new single Anything. The Swedish electro singer-songwriter reminds us of how much of a trance we were sent into via the ascending and descending synth notes, played on a loop, on Robyn’s heartfelt 2007 chart-topper ‘With Every Heartbeat’. Sundemo’s Anything has an epic, trance-influenced production that will deeply touch you from the start. “’Anything’ is about never giving up, not for your own sake or for the sake of the ones you love.” – FRIDA SUNDEMO Anything features a tropical house beat which keeps your feet dancing, whilst the…
With two top-quality singles released so far this year, including the new chillout ballad, The Talk, we are anticipating more hot, fresh tracks from talented, R&B singer-songwriter FREDRIKA. Similar to Jessie Ware, in her delivery of sophisti-pop, FREDRIKA’s elements of sensuality and sexuality shine through magically on The Talk. The song will literally soothe every bone in your body via soft, therapeutic vocal tones. Opening with a ukulele-sounding synth performing the track’s catchy melody, the production eventually takes you to a Rockabilly-style vibe in verse 2, with the song’s use of slightly distorted, reverb-effected, arpeggiated electric guitars, which instantly throw…
After an epic 9-year hiatus, Dionne Bromfield is back with her latest release Bad Intentions, and Neon Music in an exclusive interview caught up with her to discuss her comeback. Bad Intentions is a sexually-charged song featuring a smooth melody and Dionne’s feisty fusion of R&B and pop. I got bad intentions and you got them too We know what we’re getting when it’s me and you You got me thinking things that I should never do All these bad intentions need to go to use The talented artist discusses the ideas behind her latest release: “Bad Intentions was a…
Erki Pärnoja considers soltitude sacred in his track ‘Soledad’ which takes listeners on a trip down memory lane with its chorus-effected, guitar chords which give off an instant 80’s alt-Rock vibe during the main hook. It’s certainly an intriguing and interesting piece of meditative music and is about a jumble of words and ideas which float around us and can often be confusing. On ‘Soledad,’ the Estonian musician and songwriter proves that he is capable of delivering a very unique way of songwriting as you take in the chanting-style vocals, sung via repetitive lines using an unusual, Baritone voice. ‘Soledad’…
