Music News - NEEKOH announces his second single release 'Falling'
13 August 2020 - 0 Comments
A divorce and changing countries fuels the LGBT pop singer NEEKOH to write about love, sex and heartache. He releases Falling after receiving support from the likes of NZ Musician, comeherefloyd and POPMUZIK for his first single Dead City. Falling shows him coming back even stronger musically living in today's indie-pop-dance movement.
The song offers deep and fresh electro-pop sounds with inviting vocals and very catchy hooks. The melodic arrangements brings nice synth-pop flavour.
Divorcing from a 12 year relationship urged NEEKOH to take a break from his celebrity status in Finland to re-create himself. The conclusion of the hiatus was that the only way going forward is being brutally honest and personal in his songwriting. Meanwhile, falling in love encouraged him to move to the other side of the world. After moving to New Zealand, the Finnish artist NEEKOH, one-name performance moniker of Niko Helenius, decided to write about the break-up and a new-found love. The upcoming EP Dark Light about love, sex and heartache is set to be released early 2021. He has come a long way musically as well as geographically since Finland's Pop Idol finalist 2014. Coming from creative industries such as fashion and interior design showcases NEEKOH's flair enhancing his quirky and intriguing visual style.
NEEKOH tells his personal story in the song:
"The song is about hopelessly falling in love with a stranger. The strange phenomenon where you feel entirely drunk on someone you don't even know, which is terrifyingly beautiful. I had to take my chances and leave my home country and everything I knew behind to follow my heart. And you know, it's a damn long way from Finland to New Zealand."
Falling will be released August 14.
"It's like Madonna, Adam Lambert, Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga had some astral love child." Vikae, NZ artist
"Falling is a mellow pop-dance song about falling hopelessly in love with a stranger, that sounds like Tove Lo's ‘Talking Body' with a flair of optimism taking a chance on what life is throwing at you." NEEKOH
