Something’s rising, and it’s sitting between groove and sugar-dipped chaos from underneath. What you’ll get from Bubbling! by Neska Rose is that kind of tension and it’s masked with a seamless blend of dazzling horns and playful ad-libs for that energetic burst of neo-soul/funk-pop.
The jazzy brass that kicks off from the start instantly lets you know you’re in for something great. And it doesn’t end there because Neska surely knows how to keep one’s attention. Her vocals hold so much personality, along with an addicting way for dropping words that rides the mix beat by beat.
Bubbling! got that catchy ‘90s dichotomy into it. The mix rings with a quirky edge that’ll make you draw your eyeliner a bit heavier than usual to pair with your bright red lipstick. At the same time, it’s like singing words straight out of the diary from that constant pining, anticipation, and tension. And you’re barely hanging off the edge from being too self-conscious to let your guard down when liking someone.
It’s kind of wild and amusing to think how much talent and charisma radiates from Neska. At just 19, she is already owning the spotlight as a singer-songwriter-producer from LA. Just think of Amy Winehouse’s flair for dressing raw emotions with style and Lily Allen’s punch and wit in songwriting. But with Bubbling!, Neska’s doing more than just channeling these influences, she crafted a fresh, playful, conceptually-rich track—making a sound that’s unmistakably her own.
