Karmic Neighborhood‘s new single “I Don’t Want To Walk Away (radio remix)” is a dreamy and upbeat track that reflects themes of lost love and the pain associated with sudden and unexpected endings. The alternative pop song is a collaboration between scientist and songwriter Armand Ruby and British keyboardist and producer Julian Colbeck, featuring the vocals of rock artist James Durbin.
The song delivers a delicate pop sound, led by elegant and melodic vocals, playful percussion and bright instrumentation. The radio remix delivers a smooth pop jam that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Armand and Julian strive to connect with their listeners on an emotional level through the release of this single and other Karmic Neighborhood projects to come. The two lifelong musicians met by chance when they moved to the same neighbourhood on the central California coast, forming a strong bond through their shared passion for music and their mutual interest in musical innovation.
Armand, who spent most of his childhood in the northeastern US, discovered his two main passions – science and music – during his early years. Although he dreamed of pursuing a career in music, Armand accepted an Ivy-League scholarship and went on to become an environmental scientist. However, he continued to tap into his musical talent throughout his university studies, marriage, children and scientific career.
Julian Colbeck grew up in the south of England, where he learned how to play the piano and ultimately pursued his dreams of being in a London-based rock n roll band in his late teens. Julian’s music career took off with the band Charlie, with whom he scored several US Top 40 singles, including “Watching TV” and “LA Dreamer.”
Over the span of a 40-year career, Julian worked and toured as a keyboard player and producer with Yes alumni group Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett, Charlie, and John Miles among others. In 2008 Julian began work with his long-time friend, Alan Parsons, on the award-winning instructional video series: Alan Parsons’ The Art & Science Of Sound Recording.
Drawing on their respective sonic talents, they combine on “I Don’t Want To Walk Away (radio remix)” to create a powerful and emotive song that’s both instantly memorable and timeless. It showcases the unique talents of Armand and Julian, who have crafted a truly wonderful piece of music. The song’s lyrics are powerful and relatable, touching on the pain and heartbreak that comes with lost love.
Overall, Karmic Neighborhood’s new single “I Don’t Want To Walk Away (radio remix)” is a fantastic piece of music that showcases the talents of two accomplished, life-long musicians – it’s a must-listen for fans of alternative pop and enduring songwriting.
