UNITED STATES OF SONG 2022
Introducing...
N3ptune
From the artist's Spotify profile:
Named a “Denver Musician to Watch in 2021” by 303 Magazine, N3ptune is an explosive multi-hyphenate hailing from Denver, CO. A proudly queer singer/songwriter, producer, dancer, model, actor, and director, N3ptune is carving out a lane in Denver’s music scene, unlike anything that has come before. Influenced by his upbringing in the Baptist Church, N3ptune is a genre-bender who merges the essence of gospel, blues, and soul into an amalgamation of pop music as only his mind can create. His songs are bold and brash, and his live performances are raw and captivating [...] Beginning as a producer and singer-songwriter while he was in high school, N3ptune quickly became a staple in Denver’s burgeoning DIY scene. From frequently headlining Denver’s Pridefest to holding down one of the city’s most talked-about residencies at Meadowlark, N3ptune’s name has quickly grown, becoming a standout in Colorado’s music scene. With his highly anticipated EP, Renaissance out now and touring to follow, N3ptune is laying the groundwork to set 2022 ablaze. Get ready, it’s N3ptune’s planet, and we’re just living in it.

SONG 1: WHITE PONY
WHITE PONY is a Rock ‘N’ Roll, Blues-Pop powerful anthem about sobriety from a cocaine addiction. The name, “White Pony” comes from the street term for the substance. N3ptune pulled inspiration for the title from the song White Horse by Laid Back. N3ptune growls and squalls over a choir of his own voice, speaking to the drug itself.
SONG 2: BLACK HORSE
Black Horse is about the underdog standing their ground and knowing their power & worth. This record plays on the symbolism of Black Horses, as they are associated with death and rebirth. [...] N3ptune speaks directly to the Rap community about [how] he was ostracized [...] In the hook he says, “Neigh, oh baby won’t you neigh [...]” signifying that those in opposition are jackasses and sounds like such.
SONG 3: MISERY LOVES COMPANY
This speaks about abandonment and finding strength in being alone. While text blatantly refers to others leaving, the subtext refers to the abandonment of self. The gospel-inspired call and response in the vamp (which serves as the bridge), N3ptune comes to terms with abandonment and embraces loneliness.
