NEKO Shines On Soulful Debut Single ‘Serious’

Emerging R&B artist NEKO has today released her debut single ‘Serious’.

‘Serious’ is a refreshing slice of modern R&B fused with nostalgic soul from yesteryear; held together by heartfelt lyrics and a vocal that sends shivers down your spine. 

The Auckland-born singer and songwriter, who is just 18, first started gaining attention with her unofficial Soundcloud releases and DIY-style videos posted on Instagram. 

NEKO then turned heads when she featured on rising NZ hip-hop duo Church & AP’s critically acclaimed tracks ‘War Outside’ and ‘Hello Hello’; as well as Kiwi neo-soul singer-songwriter Noah Slee’s song ‘Soulflower’. She also performed with Church & AP at Western Springs Stadium earlier this year, when the rap duo opened for Kiwi legends Six60.

 Now NEKO steps boldly into the spotlight in her own right with ‘Serious’, co-written with Josh Naley AKA Wells* and Jordan Arts AKA High Hoops, and produced by Naley. 

It’s just a mere taste of the magic NEKO plans to unleash in the coming months.
