It serves as Hall's first full-length release since 2013. The record was preceded by the single, "Kiss in the Dark," which was released on January 1, 2015.[2] Neon & Nude: Featuring the Feminine Gazes was additionally promoted by three music videos from early 2013 to late 2015, all of which were uploaded to YouTube.[3][4][5] Demos of some of the songs were additionally uploaded to the group's website in 2012.[6]
Composition
Neon & Nude: Featuring the Feminine Gazes represents a sonic departure from the duo's previous dance music they performed while in Leslie and the LY's, rather opting for a softer musical composition rooted in indie pop, while still maintaining the comedy influence found in Hall's work. The record additionally takes musical influence from country, folk, and jazz music. The album consists of lesbian love songs that feature minimal, acoustic production while the duo sings softly over the instrumentation. The album was produced by Kennedy and mixed by Titus Jones, who produced Hall's fifth solo album, Songs in the Key of Gold (2013).[1]
