Noel Neu - A Father’s Love
Rock, Singer-Songwriter, Alternative Adult Contemporary
Florida, United States
Overall Impression: A poignant and touching tribute to the love and loss of a loved one, singer/songwriter Noel Neu's latest single " A Father's Love", beautifully expresses the feelings of love and the heartbreaking experience of losing that loved one, and how to find the faith to carry on not only for the wife that he lost in remembrance for her life and the life they had together but for their daughter as well who lives on as a testament to their legacy. This is a song for fans of country, folk, and pop and anyone who is looking for truthful and faith-filled music that will encourage and uplift the heart and the soul.
Strongest Point(s): With his passionate and heartfelt performance Neu's vocals and lyrics tug at the heartstrings and give you goosebumps that go straight to the soul. Music serves many purposes but the most important and one that he exemplifies in song, is the ability for music to make you feel and make you heal, and for him, it seems this song is a bit of both. This expression is an act of love and release, his vocals are sung so softly and sweetly and there is a gentleness and angelic quality to his voice. He has a good vocal range and vibrato and a bit of rasp and country twang to his voice but it is so subtle. The melody embodies sounds that are a blend of country and folk, but his vocals are pure pop and soul, it;s a very modern depiction of country-pop and folk and could be very successful in those target markets.
