Drawing us in with an ethereal riser and atmospheric piano soundscape, Sicilian_Angel opens Neon Heartbeat with situational, descriptive prose and a pristine pop vocal as he sings, “Midnight, city light are burning, pulse up, feel the fever turning, no sleep, we’re chasing fire, bodies move with wild desire…”
The opus expands with a contemporary EDM-pop energy as Sicilian_Angel shares a relatable message of human connection with the night, each other and our own desires. We appreciate the impeccable mix and sound design. The creative ebbs and flows feel timeless, and there is no doubt that Neon Heartbeat is perfect for an array of synch deals – Love Island, Love Is Blind, and a Hollywood romanic comedy or a set at Tomorrowland festival come to mind
The London-based, Sicilian-born producer is carving out a sonic identity that feels equally at home on the dancefloor and in the depths of emotional introspection. There’s an immersive quality to the track – sonic storytelling that transcends traditional dance numbers, inviting us into a world where vulnerability meets high octane velocity.
Fans of Moderat, RÜFÜS DU SOL, The Blaze, and Roosevelt would be able to connect with Neon Heartbeat, but there is no doubt that Sicilian_Angel is manifesting a universe of his own. Whilst many tracks in this lane might feel disposable, Neon Heartbeat is full of authenticity and we love the fusion of nostalgia and futurism that comes to life.
We love the high emotional quotient that manifests and the drops are simply sublime. Overall, the message of the song calls for unity and the appreciation of life, which are conscious themes that we totally vibe with.
Naturally, we have added Neon Heartbeat to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Sicilian_Angel, including the entirety of his album, GLOBAL FEVER!
