"Something Special" by Neon Gru is an important reminder to listeners that life needs balance. The song feels like a conversation from one person to another as the speaker offers support and connection to their partner, who is getting swept up in their overwhelming and all-consuming pursuits. When your work is your passion, it can be hard not to let the stress or pressure from it seep into the other aspects of your life. This song asks to be let into the person's passions in a beautiful and comforting reach for connection. Lyrics like "tell me about your love" are a vulnerable and warm beacon of togetherness, and as these words are repeated throughout the song, you'll feel the safe space it creates. Spanning the depths of admiration, this track dotes on a love in its journey of support and affection.



A freeing creative expression, this artistic track loops catchy chords, a bright beat, and expressive vocals into its message. Light instrumentals, twangy guitar, and ambient synth chords offer a cool lift into the unique atmosphere of this song. Soothing feminine singing with a deep voicing draws out the adoring nature of the lyrics throughout the verse before the chorus picks up higher vocals and a jazzy electronic instrumental sound. Intimacy and a unique feeling of inspiration comes through the groovy instrumentals and the breathy, powerful vocals. This liberating alternative pop track will captivate you with its warmth.
