Establishing the mood with a mantra-esque delivery of the prose, “‘Cause I meditate, and I radiate, I’m the one…”, NEO 10Y opens THE ONE with an intentional and self-realized message. Intricately fused with a rising soundscape from Los Angeles based producer Frank Royal, THE ONE expands with dynamism, cerebral design and mind-bending compositional genius to take us on a dimensional and sonically groundbreaking journey. 

We experience a subversive series of hooks from the pioneering Londoner inviting us deeper into the universe that the three creators are manifesting, before Hollywood’s Fairy Boy shares an epic and sensual verse, in line with the overarching theme of the track. The trio bounce off each other, quite literally, creating a super fierce and high octane journey of spiritual hedonism. 

The production of THE ONE is extraordinary – a genre expansive trip tapping into elements of EDM, drum and bass, breakbeats, dub step and progressive house. It feels simultaneously zeitgeist and futuristic – an electrifying track that brilliantly fuses consciousness with the pulsating energy of club culture. 

From the first beat, the song captivates us with its profound lyrics and hypnotic rhythms, creating an experience that is both introspective and exhilarating, suggesting that true strength and enlightenment come from within. 

The lyrics, “The most subversive thing I do is sing about world peace in a club…” highlight the juxtaposition of advocating for peace in an environment typically associated with escapism and hedonism. This clever twist challenges us all to rethink the norms of where and how we discuss important issues.

The track  takes an unexpected turn with the lines, “so we took a trip to Hollywood”. Here, the journey can be interpreted both literally and metaphorically. Hollywood, the land of dreams and superficial glitz where the song was created, serves as a backdrop for the deeper quest for meaning and authenticity. The duality of this trip adds layers to the narrative, blending the pursuit of fame with a quest for spiritual fulfilment.

As the bass drops and the beat intensifies, Fairy Boy delivers an epicurean punch with “Put me on your tongue / Do you wanna have some fun / Bass is booming drums go dumb / Beats so fat it’ll make u cum.” This vivid imagery and playful wordplay capture the raw energy and sensory overload of a night out, making the song a visceral experience. 

The references to the third eye, euphoria, and astral projection convey a journey beyond the physical realm, seeking transcendence and liberation from the mundane. This exploration of altered states of consciousness ties back to the theme of self-discovery and the breaking of mental barriers.

THE ONE masterfully blends introspection with the kinetic energy of dance music, creating a track that is as thought-provoking as it is exhilarating. It’s a bold statement of individuality, a celebration of collective empowerment, and a call to find peace and enlightenment in the most unexpected places. Whether you’re meditating or dancing the night away, this opus is a reminder that true power comes from within, and together, we can radiate that energy to the world.
