N2BLÜ return with a warm and strong Electro ‘Phoenix Heart’

Synth pop and Independent electro dance pioneers N2BLÜ return with a hot, warm and strong new single entitled ‘Phoenix Heart’.

‘Phoenix Heart’ delivers a strong personal message of strength and resilience through hard times and pain.

We asked Jonathan Arceneaux what the song was about and he said ”

‘Phoenix Heart’ is a very personal song for me. I’ve always identified with the legend of the Phoenix in that I have had to start over many times in my life, picking myself up from the proverbial “ashes” and move forward to the next chapter. It takes an incredible amount of strength and will to keep going after we’ve been knocked down in this life and we all have to have a Phoenix Heart to survive it. This song is dedicated to all of those who don’t give up and don’t quit, no matter what.

Born in New Orleans, Jonathan Arceneaux started singing not long after he learned to talk and hasn’t stopped singing since!

At a very young age Jonathan began his career as a singer in a church choir and started taking voice lessons in both classical and musical theatre styles. During his High School years in Baton Rouge, LA, Jonathan continued singing in the choir and participated in several musical theatre productions.

He also started to tap into his writing talents as a freshman in High School, drawing inspiration from some of his favourite bands and artists like Better Than Ezra, Duncan Sheik and Savage Garden.

Over the years following, Jonathan began to realize that his true passion was singing and writing Pop music, so he changed his focus from classical and music theatre to be a full time Pop singer/songwriter.

He is a passionate, true artist with emotional expression through his writing, production, and performance. Jonathan also enjoys collaborating with other artists to meld unique tastes in sound and texture.

In 2008 he worked with hit producers I-ROC (Universal Music/HappyMadison Productions/BZEE ROC) and RADIO (Chris Brown’s “Dreamer”/Blake Lewis’ “End of the World”).

As a result of the collaboration with RADIO in 2009, Jonathan released “From The Ashes”, under the name Jay Arseno, his sophomore follow up to his debut album in 2008, “Face In You Crowd”, under the name Jonathan Adam.

After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.

While he learned a lot about the industry and himself, Los Angeles was not a good fit for him. So, in 2015 Jonathan decided to get back to his roots and move back home to the Big Easy, New Orleans. Not long after moving to New Orleans, Jonathan met Konstantin Smorodnikov, a personal trainer originally from Russia who had a love and talent for music as well.

Jonathan and Konstantin had an instant connection as friends and decided to start working on music together. While Jonathan came from more of a pop music writing background and classical vocal training, Konstantin’s background was in the club and dance music scene.

The next couple of years lead to the duo developing a seamless blending of Jonathan’s lyrics and vocals and Konstantin’s beats and instrumentation to create a sound all their own. In July 2018 they were approached by Loren Israel to participate in his song writing mentorship program.

Little did Jonathan and Konstantin know that this would be an integral turning point in their musical journey.

After a year of instruction, guidance, and tough love from Loren and by honing their skills in song writing and lyricism, they have emerged as the duo, N2BLÜ.

Born and raised in Kostroma, Russia, Konstantin Smorodnikov fell in love with music at early age. It was the structure of rhythm and arrangement that most interested him.

Around 15 is when he was introduced to computer music production.

At 18 moved to America where spent most of his 20’s going out to local dance clubs and learning all he could about technical side of production and sound engineering. He drew inspiration from DJ’s like Peter Rauhofer and Abel Aguilera.

In 2016 he met Jonathan Arceneaux. They realized that they both shared a passion for similar sounds and ideas in music and decided to give a musical partnership a shot.

“Unicorn Tribe is about embracing what makes YOU different and special.

We need to break down the constructs and barriers that tell us who we are supposed to be and embrace who we are. That’s what being part of the Unicorn Tribe is all about”.

Check out the Full Song Lyrics below.

LYRICS – UNICORN TRIBE – N2BLÜ

In the deepest part of my heart there lives a fantasy

A world inside set apart from this reality

Where magic is real, and we can live forever

Nobody can stop us from being together

All we want is to be who we are inside To be a part of The Unicorn Tribe!

The Unicorn Unicorn Unicorn Unicorn Tribe!

The Unicorn Tribe! The Unicorn Tribe!

The world outside may not see us for who we are

A prism of light within, we are made of stars Innocent and wise, but pain is the price we pay

Standing up for what’s right, we will not obey

All we need is to be who we are inside

To be a part of The Unicorn Tribe

The Unicorn Unicorn Unicorn Unicorn Tribe!

The Unicorn Tribe! The Unicorn Tribe! If we look inside our hearts

We all want the same thing To be seen for who we are

And that we are a part of something

If we look inside our hearts We all want the same thing To be seen for who we are

And that we are a part of something

We are part of the Unicorn Tribe

The Unicorn Tribe The unicorn unicorn tribe

The Unicorn tribe The unicorn tribe

Unicorn unicorn unicorn unicorn tribe

DISCOVER ELECTRONIC: N2BLÜ release an open letter to Co-Dependency using self-love electronic riffs and Independent driving High Energy 80’s synths on new lonely free smash ‘King of Broken Hearts’

N2BLÜ are back with another pop dance hit in the form of ‘King of Broken Hearts’.

‘King of Broken Hearts’ follows their well supported LGBTQIA global smash ‘NSA’.

When asked about the meaning behind the song, Jonathan Arceneaux from the world famous dance pop act N2BLÜ said:

King of Broken Hearts is a biographical look of my romantic history and patterns. I’ve never been in a long-term relationship, yet that’s all I’ve ever wanted. To find my person and have the fairy-tale happily ever after. Unfortunately, I kept repeating the same choices over and over. Choosing the wrong person, over-compromising myself for them, trying to be who they wanted me to be and always ending the same”.

It’s time to break the cycle and become the King/Queen of your own heart. It’s time to Love yourself!

DISCOVER ELECTRONIC: N2BLÜ release an open letter to Co-Dependency using self-love electronic riffs and driving High Energy 80’s synths on new lonely free smash ‘King of Broken Hearts’ – Discover Dance POP

LYRICS FEATURE – N2BLÜ – KING OF BROKEN HEARTS  

I may not be your ever after
We had fun at first and moments of rapture
You wouldn’t be my first mistake
But now I’m trying my best to change my fate
And just one time
I’d love to be the first one on your mind
But no matter how it starts
I guess I’ll be the King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts

I don’t wanna be the second choice
A novelty just to fill the void
Eyes open kissing, looking for better
All the love I spent was just a ticket for never
But just for now
I’d love to be the wanted one somehow
When it all falls apart

I guess I’ll be the King of Broken Hearts

The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts

I sit of this lonely throne, built on heartbreak
Should I go it alone or try to tempt fate?
Under a heavy crown, made of frozen tears
Could there still be hope after all these years?
My kingdom is cracked by a spark of hope
Coming out of the black, learning to let go
The door is my heart and I am the key
Cuz I don’t want to be
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
Of Broken Hearts

The King of Broken Kings
I don’t wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
I don’t wanna be
I don’t want to be
The King of Broken Hearts

N2BLÜ keep up their fast rise to the dance pop top with their proudly rhythmic and jubilant LGBTQIA electronic pop single ‘NSA’–Hear it on ‘The Beat’ at 9 AM Everyday on Londonfm.digital and Discover Electro 24.

Modern Synth Pop and Dance outfit N2BLÜ follow up their previous hit single ‘Electric Dreams’ with a brand new single entitled ‘NSA’.

NSA is a jubilant pop experience with full electronic synth power and intricate electronic rhythms with warm vocals that stay in your head and leave you feeling free and ‘Not Sorry’.

When asked about the story behind the song they proclaimed “NSA is an anthem for all my fellow LGBTQIA brothers and sisters as well as anyone who has ever felt that they have to apologize for being themselves.

I’m (Jonathan) guilty of being one of those people who say ‘I’m sorry’ for everything. I grew up with low self-esteem, I was the fat kid that got picked on for being big, and most people didn’t “get me” because I wasn’t a typical “boy”.

It takes incredible strength to own who you are and never apologize for it.

Own your truth, because you’re NSA.

LYRICS SPOTLIGHT – N2BLÜ – NSA 

If I could run to the edge of my mind

Past the point of no return Just to rewind the oceans of time

All the mistakes and lessons I’ve learned

I don’t wanna be the one to always compromise

I’m done with being someone with tears in my eyes

I’m tired of regretting who I was before Cuz

I’m Not Sorry Anymore I’m Not Sorry Anymore

I’m Not Sorry Anymore

Not all your scars are on the outside

Some are tattooed on your soul

They can be the hardest to hide

When you let your heart unfold I shouldn’t apologize for my existence

But it’s hard to reprogram my broken resistance

I want to move on from who I was before Cuz I’m Not Sorry Anymore

I’m Not Sorry Anymore

I’m Not Sorry Anymore

Is it enough for me just to say it out loud?

Could it be that easy just to say that I’m proud?

Wipe away all the lies that they preach

You’re not the one to blame! Never be afraid of who you’re meant to be And always know you are not your pain!

Cuz I’m Not Sorry Anymore

I’m Not Sorry Anymore I’m Not Sorry Anymore

No, I’m Not Sorry Anymore

Oh oh oh I’m Not Sorry Anymore

Whoa I’m Not Sorry Anymore

Oh oh oh Cuz I’m Not Sorry Anymore

I’m Not Sorry Anymore

DISCOVER ELECTRONIC POP DROPS OF 2020: ‘N2BLÜ’ release a meditative, infectious ‘pop mantra’ of a single with the reflective, catchy, warm and poppy sleek journey of ‘Better Now’

Pop Dance masters N2BLÜ return in true style with an incredible, epic and different pop single.

The new single ‘Better Now’ comes packed with an electro ‘Cloudbusting’ beat vibe and ‘The Might be Giants’ pop flair and could be their biggest hit yet.

Shimmering synths, pounding drums, warm sensitive vocals and lyrics, 80’s pop sensibility and a big song treatment.

If this doesn’t stick in your head nothing will.

When asked about the meaning behind the single Jonathan from N2BLÜ said:  

Better Now is a very personal song about a past relationship and a past version of myself (Jonathan). I used to feel unworthy of love and that lead me to relationships and people that weren’t the healthiest. The journey to self acceptance is not an easy one and it never really ends. It’s something we have to work on every day and all we can really hope for is to be better now than we were then”.

LYRICS SPOTLIGHT – BETTER NOW

Better Now by N2BLÜ

Just like a hole in the heart of the ocean

You make me wish that I could drown

Keep pouring myself into your void of emotions

As your anchor pulls me down

And I’m losing myself just to feed your ego

But it’s never enough to make this love grow

Even though we don’t fit, you don’t stop me trying Leaving me the only one crying

But I know better now I know better I I know better now I know better I I know better now Better now

Better now Better now Better now Better now

Wearing the mask of someone who knows love

Your flashing colors draw me in

Painting my fantasy as you fit me like a glove

Where you end and I begin?

You keep drawing me in with flames of passion

When all that I want is your love reaction

Even though it’s not right, I still do it for you

Hoping someday you’ll be the one that’s true

But I know better now I know better I I know better now I know better I I know better now Better now

Better now Better now Better now Better now

You were the one I thought I wanted You were the one I thought I needed You were what I thought I deserved I deserve

You were the one I thought I wanted You were the one I thought I needed You were what I thought I deserved I deserve…

Better now I know better I I know better now I know better I

I know better now Better now Better now

Better now Better now Better now I deserve better now I deserve better now

Better now Better now Better now I know better I

HISTORY OF N2BLÜ 

The previous hit single from N2BLÜ  was entitled ‘Again’. 

Born in New Orleans, Jonathan Arceneaux started singing not long after he learned to talk and hasn’t stopped singing since!

At a very young age Jonathan began his career as a singer in a church choir and started taking voice lessons in both classical and musical theatre styles. During his High School years in Baton Rouge, LA, Jonathan continued singing in the choir and participated in several musical theatre productions. He also started to tap into his writing talents as a freshman in High School, drawing inspiration from some of his favourite bands and artists like Better Than Ezra, Duncan Sheik and Savage Garden.

Over the years following, Jonathan began to realize that his true passion was singing and writing Pop music, so he changed his focus from classical and music theatre to be a full time Pop singer/songwriter. He is a passionate, true artist with emotional expression through his writing, production, and performance. Jonathan also enjoys collaborating with other artists to meld unique tastes in sound and texture.

In 2008 he worked with hit producers I-ROC (Universal Music/HappyMadison Productions/BZEE ROC) and RADIO (Chris Brown’s “Dreamer”/Blake Lewis’ “End of the World”).

As a result of the collaboration with RADIO in 2009, Jonathan released “From The Ashes”, under the name Jay Arseno, his sophomore follow up to his debut album in 2008, “Face In You Crowd”, under the name Jonathan Adam.

After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.

While he learned a lot about the industry and himself, Los Angeles was not a good fit for him. So, in 2015 Jonathan decided to get back to his roots and move back home to the Big Easy, New Orleans. Not long after moving to New Orleans, Jonathan met Konstantin Smorodnikov, a personal trainer originally from Russia who had a love and talent for music as well.

Jonathan and Konstantin had an instant connection as friends and decided to start working on music together. While Jonathan came from more of a pop music writing background and classical vocal training, Konstantin’s background was in the club and dance music scene. The next couple of years lead to the duo developing a seamless blending of Jonathan’s lyrics and vocals and Konstantin’s beats and instrumentation to create a sound all their own. In July 2018 they were approached by Loren Israel to participate in his song writing mentorship program.

Little did Jonathan and Konstantin know that this would be an integral turning point in their musical journey.

After a year of instruction, guidance, and tough love from Loren and by honing their skills in song writing and lyricism, they have emerged as the duo, N2BLÜ.

Born and raised in Kostroma, Russia, Konstantin Smorodnikov fell in love with music at early age. It was the structure of rhythm and arrangement that most interested him.

Around 15 is when he was introduced to computer music production.

At 18 moved to America where spent most of his 20’s going out to local dance clubs and learning all he could about technical side of production and sound engineering. He drew inspiration from DJ’s like Peter Rauhofer and Abel Aguilera.

In 2016 he met Jonathan Arceneaux. They realized that they both shared a passion for similar sounds and ideas in music and decided to give a musical partnership a shot.
