WE WANT ANU GROOVE!

Up and Coming artist, ANU has a new single out! This Brooklyn raised songstress is leading the charge of individuality in black music. ANU is a singer and songwriter from NYC; whose words and choice of music to accompany her are impeccable. Her music is R&B, yet has an island vibe as well. “I’m Coming Out” is her latest release of three others this year. I’d also recommend checking out her songs, “Abyss” and my personal favorite, “As We Dance“.

When asked to describe her inspiration behind her new song, she had this to say….

I’m Coming Out” was inspired by the message and title of its namesake song by my idol and iconic muse Diana Ross. Her song “I’m Coming Out” impacted me because of its message and I wanted to have the same influence. I wanted to create a song that reflected my personal story of feeling like I wasn’t allowed to shine and be authentically me by my family and the relationships I had been in at the time. At the same time making it known this is no longer a state of being I’m choosing to maintain, “I’m Coming Out”, like it or not.

The audience I hope to impact is anyone who’s ever felt not seen, not heard, and not allowed to shine because of other people’s limited beliefs and fears.  It’s an anthem of self-acceptance, self-love, and empowerment. Putting people on notice, you can either accept me for who I am or move along.” 

I wrote the lyrics, originally to a melody that reminded me of one of CeCe Peniston’s songs. As part of my writing process, I will often go and look for beats that match what’s in my head. I was perusing beats and found this amazing beat by producer Omar Zulfi. The rest is history. The final mix was produced by Dolla Beatknocka Griffin from Beatknocka Studios in Brooklyn, NYC.

Savoring The Sensual Rhythms Of “Moonlight Shoreside” By The Good Neighbors

Buckle up, folks, because The Good Neighbors are back with a banger that’s bound to make waves. Hailing from the vibrant city of Buffalo, NY, this genre-defying crew is turning heads once again with their latest single, “Moonlight Shoreside.” Led by the dynamic duo of Connor Getz and Jacob Frasier, The Good Neighbors are on a mission to blur the lines between jazz, pop, and indie, and let me tell you, they’re doing it with style.

“Moonlight Shoreside” isn’t just a song; it’s a vibe. Picture this: you’re strolling along the shore on a balmy summer night, the moon casting its silvery glow over the sand. The air is thick with anticipation as you steal glances at your companion, wondering if tonight’s the night when sparks will fly. That’s the energy The Good Neighbors bring to the table with this track.

From the get-go, “Moonlight Shoreside” hooks you in with its infectious melodies and irresistible groove. The combination of shimmering synths, funky basslines, and crisp percussion creates a sonic tapestry that’s as intoxicating as a sea breeze on a hot day. Seriously, try listening to this song without tapping your foot – I dare you.

But it’s not just the music that’s got us hooked; it’s the story behind the song that really pulls at the heartstrings. “Moonlight Shoreside” is a tale of longing and uncertainty, set against the backdrop of a moonlit rendezvous by the water. As the lyrics unfold, we’re drawn into a world of whispered secrets and stolen moments, where the line between friendship and something more becomes increasingly blurred.

In the chorus, vocalist Connor Getz lays it all on the line, his voice dripping with emotion as he sings, “Now the others are all gone. Why continue to lead me on?” It’s a gut-wrenching plea for clarity in the midst of confusion, and it hits you right in the feels.

But don’t let the heavy subject matter fool you – “Moonlight Shoreside” is also a whole lot of fun. There’s a playful energy running through the track that’s impossible to resist, like a game of cat and mouse between two star-crossed lovers. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to grab your crush by the hand and dance the night away under the moonlight.

Ultimately, “Moonlight Shoreside” is a certified bop that’s guaranteed to get you in your feelings and on your feet at the same time. The Good Neighbors have knocked it out of the park once again with this one, delivering a track that’s equal parts sexy, soulful, and downright addictive.
