6ixth Element can sift through the dirt to find gold. He has proved this time and again with his superb singles. When he isn’t writing those profound proses, he is making some powerful rhythms and grooves that his lyrics will rest on. Cheers to a sound which is unlike any other. This is his latest single, Neon Soul.
As an image, I am reminded of a retro song lover that has a luminescent glow about them. Someone who is always energetic, despite the circumstance. 6ixth Element gives this particular personality all the power. From the brass section that gives this song the edge and the opening verse, you get completely invested in the song. We knew this when he released Spiritual Form, his single from earlier this year. The structure of the song isn’t revolutionary, we have heard Eminem, Common, Talib and many other legends use this. What makes it originally his is the sense of delivery, his ridiculous flow quality, and power to persevere. As the verse comes back, he makes sure the tombstone is delivered right to your doorstep. Amongst all his singles, this might be climbing to the top as my favourite.
I could hear this one in the soundtrack of Southpaw (2015), one of my favourite boxing movies. With the lyrics, he shows an energy and zeal for a protagonist that won’t back down. The instrumental is catchy, original and blends several genres. 6ixth Element might be popular with Kill the Phantom, but this might go on to become the most popular yet. Follow him for more sweet tunes and killer lyrics!
