With ‘Forever Time’, Scottish singer-songwriter Neev fully inhabits her artistic vision.
This intimate ballad radiates the comfort of stillness as Neev’s featherlight vocals effortlessly glide over sparse yet effective production. Her lyrics speak to the contentment of getting lost in a moment, settling into the near-spiritual solace creative pursuits can provide.
Having produced and mixed the track herself, Neev’s refinement as a studio auteur shines through. Each element interlocks with precision – the sparse guitar pluckings subtly accent her vocal melody whilst maintaining space for it to bloom.
Ultimately ‘Forever Time’ triumphs due to its effortless authenticity. Neev’s willingness to follow her creative intuitions results in a recording which feels genuinely unguarded. Like overhearing a private moment of tranquility, we are gifted insight into an artist revelling in self-actualisation. If this single indicates the standard of her forthcoming album, Neev will become a vital new voice.
