In Going to Amsterdam, GaREE ALL is able to create a travelogue about the titular city. There’s a whole collection of distinct places to see and actions to do (and to avoid). There’s a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor that is present through the more matter of fact narration. The light trapping of instrumentation that plays at the bottom of the song adds further depth to the track. Overall, Going to…
We’ve been bumping Justice for about 15 years at this point after we were turned on to DVNO. The act is back with One Night/All Night, a luxurious dance track that benefits from the rock stylings of Tame Impala. Haunting vocals match perfectly with a shuffling dance beat that assuredly will get fans out on the dance floor. The funk-infused bass that comprises the middle part of One Night/All Night…
During Spider Cherry’s “Little Bit Shy”, fans will absolutely adore the numerous musical styles and approaches that the performer inserts within. There is a look back to the pop music of the late 1990s, the bit of Fall Out Boy that drips off the vox, and a tremendous amount of charisma that glues the different parts of the song together. Little Bit Shy could easily garner DJ attention because of…
GaREE ALL has created a spoken word track in Cheeky that is able to build upon the work of a Gil Scott-Haron or mid-20th century beat poet and make it speak loudly for modern audiences. Listeners will be focused in to the narrative that GR is laying down here. The presence of robust backing instrumentation provides further depth to the statements that are presented in the track. We’re loving the…
I’m no EDM luddite, nor an adherent, but I believe I’ve heard enough music to know quality when I hear it. Nik:11’s new single “Pillow Talk” shines. The reasons are numerous. The Detroit native begins, however, with the song’s foundation. She plucked Sylvia Robinson’s 1973 R&B classic “Pillow Talk” from the past and refurbished it with producer Chicco Bennett. The results produce unfettered musical magic. She further displays her creativity…
Long-time readers to NeuFutur know that my daughter acts as a reviewer-of-sorts when it comes to toys. In fact, we’ve been collecting “unconventional” musical devices from the last 60 years with the hope that we’ll record something in the future. She was quite delighted when we were sent an Otamatone Deluxe, as one of her avorite Youtubers creates homages to famous music with the instrument. Priced at around $80, the…
In terms of readily-accessible imperial IPAs, the Voodoo Ranger line is top-of-the-line. New Belgium has created a number of distinct offerings in the line, with the Fruit Force being one of the most innovative IPAs we had tasted last year. The brewery has expanded their line to offer Tropic Force, an IPA that pours with a very light yellow coloration and a goodly amount of persistent white head. Tropic Force’s…
Changes has such brilliant imagery that Johnny PE presents. One can identify with the narrative that is built up during the track; the sheer amount of self-doubt and one’s lack of confidence in their own abilities is something that practically everyone can understand. Discussion of substance abuse will also hit home for many listeners, but there seems to be a bit of a bright light shining behind the clouds here.…
PSALM 118 is one of those timeless gospel tracks that will have listeners bouncing around and singing along even after a few play. The number of moving parts during PSALM 118 is substantial, but everything – the numerous vocals, the tight backing band, and even the visual components to the music video (attached below) – works together flawlessly. It’s a sight to behold and showcases the tremendous skill that goes…
Heading For The Light has a strong, shuffling sound that gradually opens up to allow for sizzling guitar work and some seriously charismatic vocals. At any point during Virtue Scripts’ new single, there are a number of things occurring – fans should go in and play the song multiple times to hear each twist and turn that the band has inserted within. I love the fact that the band does…
