July 2025

Greetings from Neuphoria!

Reality vs AI?

With the World’s current #1 song, performed by a fictional K-Pop group (Huntr/X), are we perceptive enough to recognize real vs AI music? Apparently not, as the AI-generated band, the Velvet Sundown had >500,000 followers and millions of streams, including its pseudo-hit "Dust on the Wind" before it was outed as fictional in late June.....

Inspired by that state of things, Neuphoria has been getting some incredible publicity lately: https://youtu.be/Gi7T8QWUTE8

Finally, Tyler, the Creator released a surprise LP today, saying that since he’d heard that there was no clear Song of the Summer 2025 yet, he would release a party LP full of songs of the summer. It is definitely worth a listen- and sure to go right to #1.
