NOMBE PROTOTYPE

It’s another year where Noah MacBeth, aka NoMBe, delivers his between genres sound with the finesse and uniqueness that we’ve come to know all too well from the Los Angeles based musician. His newest single ‘Prototype’ is a dream-pop saunter through metronomic beats and playful synth keys. There’s hints of disco laced throughout the track’s gentle progression, which becomes bolder with each revolution, although always return to the calm of MacBeth’s soothing vocals. Stick throughout the first three minutes are you’ll be treated to thoroughly 90s dance-pop motif of robotic breakdown before the track bursts into stratospheric guitar riffs. Sharing a note on ‘Prototype’, which is set to feature on the CHROMATOPIA LP, NoMBe says: “Prototype is hands down my favorite song on the album. It came after a long period of self doubt especially in regards to my relationship and how much I wanted to improve. In this song Im admitting that I’m flawed and that I’m actively trying to become a better me.” - Hannah Thacker
