NxC is back, and when you have a title like “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head,” you better believe it’s gonna get stuck in your head. Following a hiatus after the release of their first album in 2020, Nikki Culing (vocals, guitar) and Cedric Patangan (keys, bass, vocals) are back in the limelight with their updated sound, which weaves dreamy pop melodies, poetry, and magnetic chemistry. The duo’s musical paths first converged when they met in the high school choir, and their sonic symbiosis has flourished ever since.
NxC’s new single is the latest in a series of master classes in emotional storytelling in an irresistibly catchy package. Boasting rich harmonies, smooth instrumentation, and a chorus that sticks around long after the song has concluded, “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” is the ideal aural backdrop for late-night drives, hushed yearning, and love that won’t wash away. It’s emblematic of their growth as artists and their dedication to writing songs that hit emotionally.
And while they had to hit pause on their initial momentum thanks to the pandemic, NxC never stopped making music. They shared covers, engaged with online audiences, and kept their passion alive. With this much-anticipated release, they’re showing that good things come to those who wait.
