The purpose of Spiritual Viagra is to expand love energy.
Establishing the mood with a pulsating heartbeat, cosmic textures, and an ethereal synthscape, NEO 10Y opens his latest single, Spiritual Viagra with romanticism, subversion, and the lyrics, "My favourite person, well it's me, but when I'm with you, I still feel free, sacred geometry in your eyes, when you smiled at me, I came alive..."
With a charismatic and magnetic delivery, Spiritual Viagra expands into a dimensional and dynamic pop soundscape with luscious guitar, intricate percussion, and an emotive, authentic delivery from the rising star.
Spiritual Viagra holds a timeless yet futuristic energy, as the sometimes controversial pop star (also known as Nikhil or Nik Thakkar), who has performed for Billboard in New York, and from raves to the Roundhouse in Europe and the USA, delivers an anthemic and tantric love song full of raw emotion, sensuality, and dimensionality.
We experience a celestial rap verse, an out-of-this-world dance break, and an emotive, stripped back chorus reprise that showcases the passion and atmospheric vocal timbre of NEO 10Y.
NEO 10Y is known for empowering self-love anthems such as Stan Yourself, Y, Unrelatable Autosexual, and Shortcut To World Peace, so the opening lyric, "My favourite person, well it's me...", is quintessential NEO 10Y. We experience a more romantic edge to the artist, who has flirted with romance on previous singles, ILY and Dopamine, however Spiritual Viagra oozes the essence of true love, and NEO 10Y has made it tangible for us all to connect with the lived experience of love at first sight.
In addition to the opener, lyrical highlights from the opus include the autosexual and conceptual, "I wanna take you home, cos I don’t have a clone...”, the astrological "But it makes sense like air and fire", and the celestial "Let’s go on a trip, astral bxby...”, as well as the iconic and expansive hook.
With support from media including Billboard, Paper, The Evening Standard, Rolling Stone, L'Officiel, Interview, COLORS, Dazed and more, and major editorial playlists including Glitch, Cosmic Playlists, Misfits 2.0, TRANSCEND to name a few, NEO 10Y is revered and respected for his multidimensional artistry and iconography. The artist, who is independent, has their own cult fragrance, Goddex, and has projects with PETA, The Vegan Society, National Geographic, and a list of philanthropic and charitable endeavours.
Written by NEO 10Y and co-produced with Quentin “Q” Roelandt, Spiritual Viagra comes with cerebral and metaphorical artwork created in collaboration with AI HAO (HAO NGUYEN), and an editorial shot with visual artist Emalea Jones.
NEO 10Y’s cinematic-grunge meets industrial-R&B sound is unique, as is the immersive soundscape that he has been establishing over the last six years. With a growing cult-like following, it is clear that NEO 10Y is one of the most iconic artists in music history. His moniker alone is the most intricate and high concept artist name in the history of humanity. Universal design presents us with a pop Goddex destined for galactic levels of success.
