Talented artist Neve moved to reading from a small town in the North of Ireland called Holywood, for University. She found her way quickly into the pop music scene at Ealing Studios after years of studying musical theatre and enduring classical training in Ireland. It wasn’t long before NEVE discovered an ability she wasn’t aware she possessed in songwriting and began collaborating and writing songs for other artists while she worked to discover her own sound. Artists she has worked with range from DJs such as Joel Corry, Billented, and Mista Jam, to spice girl Mel C, Anne Marie, Conor Maynard, HRVY, and up-and-coming girl band Real Like You. This allowed NEVE to enhance her songwriting skills, which became very beneficial to the development of her own project. NEVE’s influences have always been powerhouse pop female vocalists, mainly from the states. She is very vocal about her love for Katy Perry and Lady Gaga’s breakthrough eras, with ahead-of-their-time controversy through making pop culture bending statements within their lyrics. Sonically, Rihanna, Avril Lavigne, and Miley Cyrus have also played a major role in landing NEVE’s sound. With the release of her newest single “Not Like This” she projects a sizzling sound that will certainly grasp your attention. Starting with bright instrumentation leading onto her vibrant and luscious vocals she captures the song entirely. Explaining the track a bit further it’s about admitting that there is a transition period after moving on from a relationship whereby love still lingers, and even though you may not want to be with that person any longer, you don’t like seeing them with anyone else. The pop-rock, guitar-led sound is cohesive in its cutting lyrics to ‘guy friends’ however definitely feels like the song comes from a place of vulnerability merging with power, which is a development since the first release in stance and in production. To the vocals and production, this single will definitely have you jamming out. Being just perfect for a drive during sunset or singing along with some friends. Go stream “Not Like This”.
