Electronic Pop from The NGHBRS

The NGHBRS is a singer, songwriter and producer based in Los Angeles. From his home studio he creates and releases his own sound of hook-driven indie pop. Keeping songwriting and originality at his core, his music still has bags of commercial appeal, evidenced by the success of his recent singles, notably “Like I Love You” clocking over a hundred million streams.

Taking influence from the likes of Jeremy Zucker, Gracie Abrams and The Lumineers, his contemporary pop sound blends rhythm and melody to craft catchy songs that conjure emotive and nostalgic sentiments. His popularity has secured him slots at Electric Zoo NY as well as extensive radio airtime.

Now he brings us the second single lifted from his debut five-track EP with the song “Better Off”. The new track is a song when you start thinking maybe you and the person were exclusive with were just better off as friends. It’s a sad song wrapped up in a feel good sound.

As writer, singer and producer, his fingerprints are all over the sound, allowing him to offer his musical vision exactly as he sees it. On the inspiration for the song, he says it’s about, “when you start thinking maybe you and the person were exclusive with were just better off as friends.”

Adding, “I think the synths that come in after the last ‘maybe we were better off as friends’ shows a great mixture of where I came from growing up strictly as a producer in the electronic space. It’s cool to see both worlds come together naturally and where everything at now.”
