Major Neptune just dropped his new album “POP”, and honestly, it’s a really fun listen if you’re into that mix of pop, dance, and electro all in one place. The whole thing is like a throwback to the 2014 era, but cleaner and more polished, like the sound has grown up a bit without losing that energy.
The album opens with “Testosterone” and it hits straight away. Great energy, catchy melodies, and a chorus that sticks fast. It sets the mood right from the start, and you can tell he put real effort into the sound design here. It’s full, not empty, which is something a lot of pop tracks miss these days.
“I Don’t Want Your Love” keeps that momentum going. The vocals here are super catchy, maybe even more than expected, and the chorus is one of those you replay without thinking. The instrumental is simple, but it works because the energy carries it. Sometimes simple is better, and this is one of those times.
Then “Something To Remember” changes things up a bit. It slows down, gets more calm and almost haunting. The vibe here is softer and more emotional in a nice way, and it shows he’s not stuck in one sound. That bit of variety really helps the album breathe.
“High Enough” is smooth and easy. Nothing too heavy, just clean production, soft vocals, and a nice steady energy. It’s the kind of track you don’t skip but just let play without thinking too much.
“The Hook-Up” stands out a lot. The atmosphere is different, more layered, more detailed. The electronic elements are strong here and the production is really sharp. You can hear the influence of pop and dance sounds. It sounds fresh and well-crafted.
“More, More, More” is probably one of the easiest tracks to enjoy. It’s catchy, bright, and just fun. The melodies stick and the vocal production is really well done. This one was made to be replayed.
The album closes with “(i) Something To…” in a calm way. It’s smooth and almost quiet compared to the start, and it leaves a nice final mood. It’s just clean and simple.
Overall, Major Neptune shows a really strong style here. The production and mixing are honestly impressive, especially since he works independently. You can hear the effort and it doesn’t feel rushed even though he’s been releasing a lot of music lately.
We really like the sound he created on this album. It sounds nostalgic but also fresh at the same time, and the mix of pop, dance, and electro just works. It’s clear he knows what he’s doing and enjoys it, and that comes through in the music.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Major Neptune is a British Eastern-European pop and dance artist based in Liverpool. Born in Poland and raised in a London immigrant household, Neptune grew up surrounded by all kinds of music—from the sounds of home to American divas from the past. This variety of influences still shapes his approach to music today. Restlessly inspired by icons like Janet Jackson, Lady Gaga, Donna Summer, and Diana Ross, Neptune blends the shimmer of disco, the bounce of 80s dance-pop, and the boldness of modern electropop with a ligh-hearted and fun-loving feel. On the production side, he looks to legends like Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and Shep Pettibone, whose grooves and club-ready remixes shaped the sound of pop in the ’80s and ‘90s. With an ear for hooks and a strong sense of pop history, Major Neptune is carving out a space in the independent music scene with a sound that feels both referential and refreshing. His tracks tap into the joy and drama of classic pop eras while staying firmly rooted in today’s digital-first landscape.
