Emerging chamber pop project Neacal unveils a profound exploration of emotional depth with his latest single, Out of Control. Following the critical acclaim of his debut single, The Bell, which garnered support from CLASH Magazine, Neacal’s new track has already caught the attention of tastemaker NOTION Magazine, further establishing his unique voice in the contemporary music landscape.
Neacal’s journey from a renowned instrumental progressive/post-rock band to a solo artist exploring orchestral pop is nothing short of remarkable. With a history marked by nearly 5 million streams and composing for video games, Neacal has carved out a unique niche, blending classical influences with contemporary pop.
Out of Control represents a significant shift from the light-hearted charm of The Bell to a more introspective and somber tone. The track is a masterclass in orchestral pop, blending lush strings and emotive brass with Neacal’s deeply personal lyrics. Co-mixed by Ivan Lubianyi and mastered by the legendary Ian Shepherd (whose credits include Deep Purple and King Crimson), the song embodies a level of craftsmanship that enhances its emotional impact.
"This song was born during one of my most severe episodes of depression. Despite that, it stands as a hymn of hopefulness and acceptance. It's about realising that even when things seem bleak, there's always a chance for life and freedom."
The track’s emotional core is reflected in Neacal’s own story. Born from a period of intense personal struggle, Out of Control serves as both a reflection on and a beacon of hope amid adversity.
With Out of Control, Neacal crafts a musical narrative that navigates the complex interplay of darkness and hope. The song's delicate balance of orchestral beauty and raw emotion provides a powerful testament to Neacal’s resilience and artistic vision. As he continues to push the boundaries of his sound, Out of Control emerges as a compelling chapter in his evolving musical journey.
