Drawing us in with a sitar riff and pristine and intentional pop vocal, NEO 10Y opens ONENESS (WHO WE ARE) with a plea as he shares the prose, “Let’s just talk about oneness, baby, you and me, and the universe has set us free, to be who we are and what we could be, and I love it, I love it baby…”
The opus expands with anthemic drums and emo-adjacent guitar as the critically acclaimed artist from London sings, “I’ve been craving God”, before the song explodes into a dimensional and high octane performance from the star.
The structure of ONENESS is exquisite, laden with hooks and fierce ad libs, luscious power-pop harmonies, and a charismatic vocal timbre from NEO 10Y. The lyrics lend themselves to empowerment and self-realization, reminding us that we are indeed the universe, and the evocative melodies hold a sense of timeless futurism.
Speaking on the 7/7/7 release of ONENESS, NEO 10Y confesses, “It’s my 7th year as NEO 10Y this Summer, I wanted to release a song that encompasses my message of love and self- realization so that we can help manifest a protopian dimension of peace together.”
The popstar and spiritual revolutionary continues, “ONENESS (WHO WE ARE) is a genre expansive trip designed to take us on a trip inward so that we have the chance to choose love and connect with the most authentic versions of ourselves.”
NEO 10Y, who also boasts the most high concept artist name in human history tells us, “My name also translates as ONENESS – my artist moniker, NEO 10Y, and my Sanskrit ancestral name Nikhil, both mean complete.”
The artist’s discography has an overarching and sometimes subversive theme rooted in Vedic philosophies of peace. One can watch a short video from the Stan Yourself singer explaining their name and intentional brand of artistry here.
ONENESS (WHO WE ARE) also features a nod to the NEO 10Y’s previous single, and the name of his fragrance, GODDEX, as he shares the empowering line, “You’re a Goddex and a superstar.”
Psychedelic synth work, exquisite strings accompaniment, refined beat switch ups between rock, pop and hip-hop, 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. The single comes with an action-packed music video filmed in London and Los Angeles, contributing to NEO 10Y’s videography as the sixteenth instalment.
