Backgorund

Neta Shay is an independent artist known for her soulful electronic sound and introspective storytelling. Ahead of her new EP release, she was transitioning into a bolder, more experimental musical identity – blending classical instrumentation with techno-inspired textures and faster tempos. Our role was to guide this creative shift and ensure it was reflected clearly and consistently across every visual and strategic output.


Planning

This release marked a distinct departure from Neta’s debut. To support the transition, we first identified familiar aesthetic cues from her earlier work – urban and street-style influences; and used them as a foundation for the new direction.

We strategically selected “Red Lights” as the lead single: a track that served as a sonic bridge between genres. This became the visual and narrative entry point for the rebrand. From there, we mapped the EP rollout as a phased evolution; Each release building momentum while reinforcing the shift in sound and tone.

We developed a modular artwork system that allowed for visual flexibility while maintaining cohesion: each single featured distinct photography framed within a consistent graphic structure, including a branded logotype lockup.
Our release calendar was also informed by current trends in music, fashion, and internet culture – ensuring optimal timing and contextual relevance.
