Or do I keep struggling against my own self-will?” “Do I do that again, that thing I thought would fulfill me and didn’t? Do I keep doing that to myself?”

Always You was originally released in 2020 for a brief period of time. Written in Los Angeles during the turbulent times of the COVID Pandemic, Systemic Racism & rampant Climate Change, “Always You” was inspired by the beauty of everything around us that we’ve taken for granted. Whether that’s a significant other, the world, etc. it was an influence in crafting the messaging and music, lyrics and overall vibe of this song. Musically we went with a more organic approach as we’ve both been playing guitar lately. We wanted to get back to our roots that got us into producing in the first place.
NEO NOIR is an LA based Future Music collective based around producers Bradley Allan & Greg Ogan. Some notable credits between them include Bruno Mars, Britney Spears, Sean Kingston, Brandi, Justin Bieber, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna and more. They formed NEO NOIR at the start of 2017 as a passion project to create music collaborations with talented singers that share their artistic vision. This enables them to experiment freely and push boundaries more so than when producing specifically for other artists. Their first song “When I Was Young (ft. Brooke Williams) broke a million streams and is currently at 2 million. They currently have 8.5 million streams on Spotify combined as of 2020. Also worth noting is that they’ve been a featured artist on MTV's “The Challenge” as well as featured in an international Hershey’s Chocolate commercial campaign since the start of 2020. They’re also in rotation on the NFL on Fox - NFL Kickoff this season.
