On the heels of their highly praised third studio album release, Euphonyus, Brooklyn-based quintet Phony Ppl today releases an official visualizer to “what it feels like.” via 300 Entertainment.

This week, one of the many stand-out tracks from the album, “nowhere but up.” garnered the achievement of #1 Most Added Song via Urban Radio as the official music video for the track soars in over half a million views via YouTube.

Rated R&B deemed the project as one of the ‘Best R&B Albums of 2022,’ furthermore sharing, “the Brooklyn-based quintet’s third album, Euphonyus, is an exuberant fusion of ear-pleasing tunes bound to inspire movement; it’s more groovy and sweaty than their past works. The glossy instrumentation on Euphonyus is paired with lyrics that reflect vignettes of love, loss and everything in between.” NPR highlighted one the stand-out tracks “been away.” and shared “Phony Ppl always greets listeners with open arms — serenading them with a warm blend of R&B, jazz and hip-hop sounds. On “been away.,” off its newest album Euphonyus, the Brooklyn-based band joins strings and the piano. A swooning, melodic force anchors the song without overwhelming it; drumbeats hold an adagio pace steady, while bass guitar quietly strengthens the track’s rhythmic pulse.” Given the genre-bending nature of the band’s artistry, Euphonyus received a range of acclaim from wide-ranged of outlets; ‘Best In New Music’ co-signs from UPROXX, Okay Player, XXL along with praise from Complex, Sniffers Magazine, Soul Bounce, Variance Magazine, You Know I Got Soul and more.
