I Love Being Black is a powerful ode from Jonathan Lykes that is able to shine with just the slightest trappings of production. The song, coming from Lykes’ heart, blends charismatic vocals with a stunning acoustic guitar line. The presence of additional vocals to Jonathan’s main line ensures that I Love Being Black will resound loudly with fans long after it ceases to play. The song’s message of pride showcases…
Call Me Hazy pours with a straw colored yellow color and about a pinky’s worth of white foam and laces itself down the way of the glass. The nose does not provide imbibers with much in the way of hints about what is to come, aside from the briefest touch of wheat and fruity (citrus) elements. When one is actually able to take their first draw from the can, they…
One of the biggest annoyances that I have with malls is that the charging stations that a great many of them offer have a small amount of charging ports. Couple that with the fact that they are always packed with people attempting to get their phone topped off and I can honestly say that I’ve not been able to use one of these outlets for the better part of a…
It seems as if many of the mall stores that offer video game merch are selling the product with tons of mark-up. If you go to a place like Hot Topic, many of their t-shirts with licensed products end up being about $30 after tax. After doing some searching around the web, I found a new store – https://teerextee.com/ – that has a ton of selection with prices that will…
It might be surprising, but I have not thought about purchasing a house up to this point in my life. It’s part of the reason (I suppose) why my ex and I did not work out, but I feel that it is getting to that point that I may want to dip my toe in the water. American Home Buyer indicates that the market is very supportive to potential buyers…
As part of my main job as a teacher, I have to do a lot of standing around. In the current climate, it’s been a bit of a change up to my routine as I have had to stay in place. Livestreaming may be a fun use of technology, but it is deleterious to my posture. Where I could stretch out and wander around the classroom for an hour or…
Way back in the 1990s, my family and I went up to Canada for a trip. This was well before 9/11, so it was easy enough crossing the border with birth certificates and a guarantee that we were not doing anything untoward during our time in the country. A lot has changed in the years since, but part of my heart still resides there. Whether it be the milk in…
Many of the businesses and clients that we work with have chosen to use services like PayPal or Skrill for their payments to us. NeuFutur has always thought about taking payments directly, but have always been concerned that someone that has a lot of knowledge in the field would hookwink us into a service that we would gain much benefit from. A service like https://www.paay.co/chargeback seems to be one that…
We have had a wine, liquor, beer, and spirits review page at NeuFutur for over a decade. It has been great to expand our horizons through so many different varietals of wine over the years. Whether it was made from grapes from Australia, like Verwood Estate Wines, or California, some of the best times we have had as a magazine has been tipping back a glass of something viney. One…
If you know me, you know that I have had a lawyer on retainer for the better part of a year. In a few words, it has been the best decision of my life. To have someone intimately know any sort of issues that could arise while you are in the process of conducting business is simply divine. You do not need to worry about any of the issues aside…
As many of you know, I run NeuFutur Magazine from a home office. This means that whenever there is a problem with the house at large, that there is a problem with the creation of said magazine. One of the issues that we have ran into since we moved to this house a few years back is that the water heater is legitimately from 1993. If you understand water heaters,…
One of the things that I used to busy myself with when I was in college was booking concerts of local bands. The one thing about booking a concert is that you have to always have a venue. There were a number of times where the venues that I used a few times outright told me that they did not want my shows at their place. Feeling a bit dejected,…
It’s getting a bit colder at the nights now, so even though we are in the den of fire that is in south Arkansas, there’s a desire that has started to become more urgent for espresso. Places like Anthonys Espresso have a number of tools available to completely avoid the local coffee shops and make your own coffee drinks in the safety of your own home. I know I was…
Tisha Hunter has a retro vibe going on with her new single, Right Now. With some smart instruction recalling funk and soul styles of the 1970s and early 1980s, Hunter is able to draw in listeners by the boatload. Uupon this instrumentation, Tisha is able to urge fans find their faith and approach their creator. The resulting track is smart, catchy, and hits on all cylinders. The dynamic that is…
Overcome has a light and dairy sound to it as hints of pop, R&B, and reggae work to create something absolutely infectious. T-Klassip’s vox here exude charisma and provide fans with a positive sound. The presence of Eedris Abdulkareem to the mix provides listeners with a nice shift to the overall atmosphere of the track. Kevin Boy’s bars towards the end of the single ground the composition and showcase how…
AV Super Sunshine has incorporated a stripped-down sort of reggae-infused rock with their Baby Goodbye 2020. The dreamy vocals that come up to prominence during the song’s chorus showcase the band’s ability to stop and turn on a dime. The dynamism of AV Super Sunshine is fantastic; there’s nary a breath lost as the band whips in hints of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane’s Addiction into their output…
Redemption begins with keys and smartly spat-out vox. The narrative quality of Big Lou during this effort is miles beyond the typical track gaining popular attention. The presence of the impassioned female voice during Redemption’s chorus provides nice differentiation between each stanza of Big Lou’s content. The insane speed which Big Lou achieves during his new single places him alongside rap royalty like Twista and Eminem. Putting his city on…
Bunkin is a supremely confident track that showcases GS11’s swagger. With an assertive rap flows that build upon the work of performers like Rick Ross and I-20, Bunkin’ will be an easy inclusion on urban radio stations and playlists. Dreamy synths blend with punchy percussion to make for a backing beat that is truly larger than life. Taking these two sides together, GS11’s Bunkin ends up being the most memorable…
Blurry has a crisp sound to it that puts ample highlighting to Chris Waters’ inimitable rap style. A beautiful set of keys allows the track to pick up pop fans, while the song’s hook provide the counterpoint for the punchier rap flow that comprises Blurry’s main body. Fans of Owl City and Tom McDonald will be able to sink their teeth easily into this cut. The production of the track…
Keys FTV has a fun, laid-back track in his new outing, Flexin. There’s a chill flair to the synths and snap tracks, all while Keys FTV lays out an ode to the latest girl in his life. The song straddles the line between rap and R&B, with enough interesting material hidden in the song’s instrumentation that the track stays poppin’ even five or ten plays straight. Perhaps most interesting about…
