Neon Black Dreams drops “Paradise Lost”

Formed in late 2020 by keyboardist, synth player and backing vocalist JJ, with singer Yara Glorien joining the following year, Neon Black Dreams is an original electronic pop duo making waves with their music. Offering a nostalgic sound, they blend their influences of Madison Beer, Depeche Mode and The Eurythmics with modern inspirations to create their own unique brand of catchy synth pop dripping in 80s vibes.

Coming from entirely different musical backgrounds, the pair combine their respective experiences and talents on the project, resulting in a memorable synthwave sound wrapped up in exquisite production. Racking up tens of thousands of streams with each new single, they’ve made a lasting impression with tastemakers and fans from all over the world.

The pair have just finished working on their debut full-length release with the album Kiss of the Universe. Set in the late 80s, the album weaves the story of two souls forever destined to find each other through multiple lifetimes. Told from Yara’s perspective, each song is designed to stand alone, while creating a cohesive sonic journey through each chapter when compiled together.

With their fifth single, they share the new track “Paradise Lost”, the latest synth pop ballad from the band. Tackling themes of loss, grief and recovery, the song sees Yara contemplate life without JJ after he’s taken away at the end of Eternity.

Pairing melancholic tones with a hopeful and optimistic sonic outlook, with “Paradise Lost”, Neon Black Dreams lay down a euphoric electronic soundscape full of immersive sonic textures and alluring melodic leads. A masterful arrangement of synthesisers drive the sound on this single which confirms Neon Black Dreams are an act to watch this year and beyond.
