The Neon Sea ‘As I Wonder’

The Neon Sea didn’t just arrive; they stormed in with ‘As I Wonder’, a track that drips with atmospheric charm and sheer ambition. The song is a masterclass in blending influences—think Stone Roses grandeur meets Pink Floyd’s introspection—but it never loses its originality. Doyle’s lyrics float like smoke in a dream, grounding the cosmic production with raw humanity.

From its jazz-hip-hop fusions to its Latin inflections, RUSH feels like a pulsating heartbeat of resistance and ambition, a vibrant push against the limits others set for her. If you’re into artists who walk the line between bold and vulnerable, Fitasha’s layered lyricism and sonic adventurousness are here to grab you by the collar and demand your attention.

Its opening lines grip you with a confident swagger—vocals warm with a timeless flair, lyrics painted in vibrant, relatable storytelling. There’s a natural magnetism in the upbeat groove, a blend of old-school soul and contemporary charm. The track’s hook is an earworm in its own right, but what sets it apart are the intricate verses, peppered with crisp musicianship and surprise melodic turns. It’s a surefire standout to kickstart the album.

Jean-Loup Pinson ‘Tell All The Truth/Surrender’ 

Jean-Loup Pinson’s ‘Tell All The Truth/Surrender’ is a masterstroke of modern composition, boldly bridging centuries of artistry. In this standout track from A Moment of Deathlessness, Pinson pairs the haunting choral beauty of The Carice Singers with the hard-hitting spoken word of London poets Armanious and Tanaka Fuego. Dickinson’s timeless themes of truth and surrender become visceral and urgent in Pinson’s hands, carried by a production that seamlessly layers ethereal vocals with futuristic beats. The result is a track that feels revolutionary yet deeply human, cementing Pinson’s place at the forefront of contemporary musical storytelling.
