Let's go to Australia to meet Neem, a generous artist with a warm voice, who presents his new single Metaphor. What seduced us from the first seconds was this incredible fingerpicking, very captivating, and which reminded us of the universe of another Australian that we had discovered when he was only 14 years old: Declan Ryan. Are we nostalgic at IMC? Yes, a little, it's true. It's maybe because we get attached very quickly to our artists.

Neem is passionate, and it shows in everything he posts online, and especially in his music. He is an open artist who has already performed with many artists from the Gold Coast / Sunshine Coast, like Amela, Zola Sky, Tom Wensley to name a few but the list is long. And his vision of things fits perfectly with ours:

"My ultimate goal is to improve the music industry by making it a more inclusive and supportive environment. I believe that there is enough space for everybody to thrive. If you're an artist and if you're looking to collaborate, or just want to have a chat, feel free to reach out".

Here, in our offices, we already know that in January 2025, IMC will become a real online meeting place for musicians where all musicians from around the world will be able to chat, collaborate, and create together 24/7. And we know that Neem is exactly the kind of artist we want in this new version of our community.

Neem is a very talented songwriter. Quite funny for a track called "Metaphor", but the song is a real gem of writing, which multiplies the figures of speech to make us adhere to this magical folk-pop universe. With the "windows open", we let in the fresh air of this light melody that contrasts with the lyrics, which teach us to face more restrictive problems. And the easiest way to face them is sometimes to ignore these problems and leave them in front of the front door, as Neem sings in the chorus.

With beautiful vocal harmonies, and an extraordinary production quality, Neem signs here a perfect gem for the summer (although it is winter in his country!), which will help us forget our daily lives. To listen to why not in the car, hair in the wind, and elbow outside ("can you feel the wind?")
