It’s not easy to grasp the poignant philosophical value in NEO 10Y’s latest record. You see, the London-based creative is not just a musician and a songwriter – that would be reductive. He’s an active explorer of everything that’s boundary-breaking, with a keen eye towards body liberation and fierce Queerness.
‘CHOOSE LOVE / CRYING IN THE SIMULATION’ is NEO 10Y’s latest effort. Built over an eclectic electronic production, the record constantly modulates in its grooves and intensity, perhaps mirroring the ever-flowing sense of change so common in the universe. Quite dramatic and perhaps theatrical, certainly nuanced and passionate, the single also showcases NEO 10Y’s immense vocal prowess, jumping from a low to a high registry at a moment’s notice.
An impressive display of informed musicianship, ‘CHOOSE LOVE / CRYING IN THE SIMULATION’ particularly flourishes over its lyricism. Steeped in the authentic idea that we are an integral part of the universe, the single manifests all of its (the universe’s) power and transformative change. As NEO 10Y explains: “It is about remembering that we are in a water-based, biological, chemical and physical hologram. We are the universe.”
