Drawing us in with a refined, psychedelic synth, textured riser, and immersive drums, NEO 10Y opens GODDEX with luscious, atmospheric vocals as he seductively delivers the opening prose, “Thembo Goddex you made me feel at one, with you… and you think I’m sexy too..”
The opus expands to evoke a tantric vibe as the artist invites us to connect with our inner deity. The non-binary love song is laced with unique themes and transcendental concepts which are designed to help us remember the GODDEX energy within.
“The universe is oneness, and complete, GODDEX is an inclusive way of referencing source energy and the most expansive nature of love”, the evocative Londoner tells us. We learn that the artist’s moniker NEO 10Y also references oneness through numerology and the scientific explanation and parallel with his Sanskrit name, Nikhil, which also means complete.
The chorus of GODDEX taps into NEO 10Y’s rockstar constitution as he chants the mantra “Thembo Goddex Energy”, allowing us to remember that we are more than just mere mortals, but the universe itself. Speaking on the theme of the release, NEO 10Y confesses, “When GODDEX came to me as a download, I knew its purpose was to help us tap into the universal source energy that flows through us all…”
“My intention as an artist is to help us manifest a protopian dimension of peace through the expansion of love energy, and GODDEX can help us all choose love and stan ourselves”, continues NEO 10Y.
The second verse and hybrid bridge features expansive power pop harmonies, creating a cohesive and sensual tapestry of sound which the star has been consistent in delivering with his artistry since his debut in 2016.
Songs like Shortcut To World Peace, Dopamine, Stan Yourself, Y, ILY and most recently Vapid Prophecy and Spiritual Viagra all share the theme of the expansion of love, and GODDEX is another string to the artist’s intricate and critically acclaimed discography.
Psychedelic synth work, exquisite string accompaniment and cerebral nuances all contribute to the track’s out of this world energy, taking us on a journey through time, space and the quantum psyche of the visionary artist who has major endorsements from Billboard, Paper, Rolling Stone, BBC, The Evening Standard, COLORS and countless media outlets, prestigious philanthropic organisations and editorial playlists. The artist has performed from raves to the Roundhouse in the UK, for Billboard in NYC and numerous venues in Los Angeles. For more information, you can read NEO 10Y’s extended biography here.
With poetic flair, GODDEX becomes a self-referential piece, as the artist pays homage to their own spiritual awakening and complexed history with the British media as he sings, “My future self said I could be anything, I could be anything, a celestial troll, an astral baddie, yeah I’m passive aggressive, at least you know it’s me…”, before a nod to his not-self-theme of frustration in Human Design.
NEO 10Y is an abolitionist vegan with a new Channel 4 series, Higher Ground, where he is the first person to take psychedelics on national television in the UK. He goes on to sing that he “tuned into silence, amidst all this violence”, in reference to his most streamed song, Shortcut To World Peace, before we are brought back into the physical realm with the seductive nature of the hook.
“I wanted the chorus of GODDEX to be an affirming and empowering mantra for connecting with your inner super power. Many of my songs are designed to allow us to expand love within, and beyond ourselves. I have been documenting synchronicities in my art and reality since the inception of NEO 10Y, and releasing GODDEX in line with our new psychedelics documentary on Channel 4 is further proof of profound alignment in my universe.”
The song is written and performed by NEO 10Y, and produced by NEO 10Y, Teddy Jackson and SBO9.
NEO 10Y has a deeply unique and authentic brand of spiritual pop artistry with a clear thread of Vedic philosophies of peace that create the core of his message, and GODDEX is no exception to the rule. GODDEX is also the name of the cruelty-free, alcohol-free and gender expansive cult fragrance from the multi-disciplinary artist, available from NEO10Y.SPACE – a luxury oil featuring notes of luxury oil featuring oud, sandalwood and vetiver as the heart notes, with sweet notes of tonka bean, vanilla and amber as base notes, and top notes of rosewood, cardamom and pepper.
