‘Braveheart’ is the sophomore single release from up-coming all girl outfit Neon Jungle.
Following on from the group’s debut single ‘Trouble’, this latest slice
of street-style cool sees the girls experimenting with a more
club-friendly sound, with plenty of commercial, pop-friendly character.
Heralded by many as the girl band to save girl bands, Neon Jungle on first impressions appear like a fairly stereotypical urban girl band, with TLC comparisons easily drawn at first sight of the glam sportswear and attitude-laden faces. In actuality, however, Neon Jungle’s sound is more pop than their aforementioned counterparts, with catchy hooks and synth-lead timbres.
The girl’s first track ‘Trouble’ (which took them to number 12 in the
UK Singles Chart), was particularly pop-driven, sounding young and
accessible – almost like a Girls Aloud for 2014 at times. With
‘Braveheart’, however, Neon Jungle have developed a more mature sound
that is contemporary, edgy, cool and fun. The track is ruled by a deeply
dropped, thick bass line, alongside a rich beat that is utterly
danceable. The girls have good voices too, with Asami mastering a
particularly sweet voice that works pleasantly well amongst the harsh
saw waves and dark synths that flood this track.
‘Braveheart’ is set for release next week on CD and download. The
girls have just finished a string of tour dates (including a number
supporting Jessie J), but are sure to have more scheduled imminently in
2014. Their debut album is also set for release later this year.
