Rather than harming yourself or

The term “Vanity Fair” usually refers to an ostentatious or over-the-top celebration, and after years of working on their huge 14- track album and months of teaser signals, it would likely seem it’s worth its namesake and Neonlight are ready for a celebration.

Fans have been excited for the release of Vanity Fair since December when the first teaser track

It’s been five years since Calvin Harris released his album Funk Wav Bounces Vol.1 with one of the most expansive collaborative lists we’ve ever seen. Despite the ‘Vol.1’ in the title, there was a point where we weren’t sure there would even be a volume 2. Thankfully, we’re getting the first single from the sequel this Friday — “Potion” with Dua Lipa and Young Thug. The track art already looks like we’re going to be revisiting the same vibes as the first single, which we’ve been missing terribl

Throwback styles, especially those that model the 80s, tend to be covered in about ten layers of irony and hipsterism when presented to the world nowadays, and it’s no wonder. The jangly synths, neon eyeshadows and Flock of Seagulls hairstyles that typified the 80s pop scene weren’t even a hundred percent serious at the time. In an era fueled by cocaine and Diet Coke, we can’t exactly blame modern artists for poking a little fun at the era that brought us Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have

The youredm.com team came across this absolute bop a few weeks back. Ever since we’ve been playing Sophia at the office and watching her career pretty closely. What we noticed was a huge uptick in her song “Close To Me”. We reached out to Sophia’s team, and found this tune was released completely independently. No promotion or budget: just a diehard fan base and a few TikToks to let people know.  A few months after the song dropped, they saw it start to move: “Close To Me” got added to hundreds

Bringing psychedelic and jazz-inspired synths and production into rock or pop music certainly isn’t a new concept. See: the entire 60s, for example. Lately, however, with all the merging of EDM and ambient electronica with pop, there seems to be push more to ravey or hip hoppy styles rather than jazzy or funky. Psychobilly or beach rock has also been making a comeback and leaning heavily on electronica to make those sounds, but generally pop acts don’t pull those jazzy and beachy sounds. At the
