There are partnerships that come into our lives at the perfect time. A time when we feel stuck in the same monotonous routine and they jolt us out of that rut. Brooklyn-based pop artist Peter Wise’s new smooth single “Neutral” is all about that very idea. He soulfully sings, “Shifting up and shifting down, but nothing gets me off the ground. You are the one that yanks me out of neutral.” The track lights up your ears with colorful keys, punchy drums, and gritty guitars. Through the groovy arrangements, a unique flavor and spirit is exuded. It is a bold style sure to snap you out of the ordinary.
Peter Wise is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer crafting introspective lyricism paired with relaxed soundscapes. “Neutral” has that same easy-going air. A line from the film The Spectacular Nowsparked the idea for the offering. Wise explains, “There’s a line in the movie where a man tells Miles Teller’s character that he thought a past relationship would yank him out of neutral. We’ve all had people or experiences in our lives that have this dramatic ability to shift our course for the better, and I wrote this song to focus around that concept.”
