NEEA RIVER – All The Way

All The Way is the debut single by singer-songwriter and new artist Neea River.

With her first single, Neea is taking the long-awaited step into the artist game. She is known for her angelic and powerful voice and big melodies – and that’s what you’ll hear in her modern pop music.

All The Way catches the attention right away with an up-tempo beat and ear-worm melodies. This banger-styled pop song is hitting the absolute highs when it’s reaching the explosive chorus: What if we fight for love one more time and go all the way? The story-telling lyrics build up a strong statement to always fight for the things you love.

All The Way is a song that I wrote about a one specific life-altering moment that happened in my life. One night I was crying in my bed because I realised that the one person I wanted next to me wasn’t there anymore. The pain was unbearable. I knew that we gave up on love too easy when things got hard. That night I decided that I will fight for the love that I lost. This song will always remind me to never give up on things that you truly want.

Neea’s story is inspiring. The small-town girl from a countryside village called Nurmijarvi started her ascending career in the heart of music – Los Angeles, California. But how did that happen? She traveled to LA for a vacation and suddenly a local music producer saw her singing videos on Instagram. They started working together and soon after that, Neea packed 2 suitcases and moved to LA, on the other side of the world to chase her dream of music. One of her first songs ever got placed in a movie and that gave her confidence that she was on the right track.

In LA she connected with other music makers as well. One of them was Finland’s top music producer Henri ”MGI” Lanz (who’s now Sony Music Finland CEO). He loved Neea’s sound and offered the newcomer musician a publishing deal. That was the beginning of her ascending songwriting career. Her ultimate goal was always to be an artist – but she wanted to grow as a songwriter first. She wants to inspire people with her music and with the stories that are written in her big pop songs. Her debut single is an anthem to never give up on the things you love. If you want it – you gotta fight for it!
