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.

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.
