One World (R)evolution – “Love Is the Answer”

I’m Changing is a deep and detailed track that succeeds due to a tremendous care taken in the creation of a taut instrumentation. The dynamic between bass, guitars, and drums is the perfect back drop upon which the emotive and alluring vocals can rest. The production present during Love Is the Answer ensures that each constituent element can shine alone or as contributing to a greater whole. The track has tremendous…

Lolah Vinchy – Need2know

  Lolah Vinchy’ new single “Need2know” is an amazing new R&B song that will no doubt become a summertime favorite! Lolah has a great voice, you can hear the her sweet yet sassy tone just knock this song out of the park. The beat and production are simple but really compliment the vocals. I think fans of Beyonce or Kehlani would really enjoy Lolah Vinchy’s music. This song would be…

Robert Kramer – “King of Hearts”

Robert Kramer’s song “King of Hearts” is a great single, it has that traditional rock sound that isn’t heard much anymore. The song while familiar sounding has totally unique lyrics and a wonderful beat, almost reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen.  The production is great, very clear and highlights Robert’s vocals while also showcasing his instrumentation. The song reminds you of groups like Foreigner or Styx. I think Robert’s would be great…

Joseph Pagano – More Friends in Heaven (Than in Hell)

Joseph Pagano has been creating music for the last few years, with his second EP Time and Colors being released in 2015. On Joseph Pagano’s current single More Friends in Heaven (Than in Hell), hints of 1960s and 1970s rock, punk, and alternative country can all be discerned. The dynamic between the guitar and Pagano’s voice establishes a quick tempo for the single. A whistle-heavy intermission provides a further boost…

Son & Thief – Repair

Son & Thief’s new single “Repair” is a great example of up and coming indie rock. The song has bass heavy instrumentals and paired with falsetto vocals, making the song stand out from others in the genre. The production is good, it seems purposely distorted to add to the eclectic sounds of Son & Thief. The song flows naturally  and lets all parts shine equally, I really like the focus…

Chip Gibbons Feature

Chip Gibbons has just released a video for his latest single “Inside a Hole”, from his Billion Dollar Pill album. This track does much to showcase the wide variety of influences that are present in Gibbons’ music, but for a more in-depth exploration into Gibbons’ psyche, one needs to play the entirety of the aforementioned album. The multi-media aspect of Gibbons is something that fans need to look into; while…

Wild Domestic – “New Year, New Me”

Wild Domestic – “New Year, New Me” is a smart, taut hard rock track that blends together intricate arrangements with passionate vocals. I feel that Wild Domestic builds off of the framework of acts like 311 and Deftones and adds just a bit of emotive rock to make something that will resound loudly in the minds and hearts of listeners.

Stellarscope – “Standing In The Shadow Of Your Ghost”

Don’t Belong is the first track on Stellarscope’s Standing In The Shadow Of Your Ghost, a dense and bushy track that takes up a number of styles, sounds, and genres in the creation of a wholly unique sound. There are nods to mid-1980s The Cure, OK Computer-era Radiohead, and even acts like Muse. Falling is a dark, electronic-infused track that will work equally well in the Sisters of Mercy / Bauhaus-era of goth…

Rugby Road – Rugby Road III EP Review

Give It Away is a passionate alternative-pop track, the first off of Philadelphia band Rugby Road’s latest, Rugby Road III. Of particular note here has to be the extended progressive-infused interlude, providing a nice boost to the single’s momentum. The vocals and drums link together to make for something that could easily be replayed; fans will be on the edges of their seats as the band moves into Back To…

Oxaï Roura – Afro-Himalayan 01: GanEshou

Oxaï Roura has released something special with his new song “Afro-Himalayan 01: GanEshou”. The song is totally unique with a blend of electronic music styles mixed with a more traditional international sound. The song is incredibly interesting using cool instruments and different effects. The vocals are simple and enigmatic, while the music is transcendent. You feel almost an other worldy vibe in this song, I think this would be great…

MELLAH NIX – Luther The Shooter

MELLAH NIX – Luther The Shooter MELLAH NIX’s latest single “Luther The Shooter” has really caught our attention here at NeuFutur. The song has a great trap beat sounding similar to popular artists Migos or 21 Savage, but MELLAH NIX’s flow is unique and catchy on it’s own. The song is mastered perfectly no over lapping section and the levels are correct, making the song flow naturally and smoothly. The…

Emerald Portal – All The Running Emerald Portals single “All In The Running” is whimsical and soft. The sound is very different from current indie rock artists but is closest to someone like MGMT. The instrumentation has light strings and synths that are deep. There’s a little bit of an 80’s electro vibe going on too which makes the song sound incredibly unique.  The production is clear and clean allowing…

Joseph Eid – Watch it Fall Joseph Eid’s new single “Watch it Fall” has really captured my attention. His soft indie rock harmonies mixed with classic rock instrumentation. Lots of steel guitar and other cool stuff in this song. The vocals remind you of a Sufjan Stevens meets Ed Sheeran, really unique sounding for such a young artist. The production is solid and the song flows naturally, allowing all elements…

Roy Cohen – Take Off ft. K.O

Roy Cohen’s Take Off (featuring K.O) is a track that builds off of the late-nineties female pop scene while having an intense dance beat that equally touches upon nineties house and today’s EDM. The rising and falling of the instrumentation vis-a-vis the vocals keeps Take Off hurtling along at a quick clip.

Purplehed – Deeper Than the Seas

Purplehed’s Deeper Than the Seas is a contemplative single that seems poised to be picked up on DJ’s sets for the summer festival months. The supersonic vocals, nice progression, and a more contemplative and ethereal sound ensure that this track sticks with listeners long after the song ceases to play.

David D’Angelo “Jade”

David D’Angelo’s “Jade” is one of those efforts that one will need to sit back and properly focus on. The multiple layers and distinct atmosphere that D’Angelo creates here is incredibly dense and complex. There are elements that further the track along (the bassy beat and stellar percussion), but the song continues to innovate with each distinct movement.

Rental, the latest track by Kyle Davis, is a sexual and sultry track that is beautiful in the dynamic that is crafted between Davis and the backing instrumentation. The deft blending of R&B and more dance styles will ensure that the track will be played equally on the rotation. We’re fans of the strong, assertive vocals and their interaction with the booming bass beats. A haunting melody placed at the…
