TOP 5
5. Things To Change
“Things To Change” is one of Mang’s most personal and emotionally raw tracks to date. Built on a heavy, hip-hop-driven beat, the song carries a dark and introspective tone. It opens with a poignant voicemail—presumably from the artist’s grandmother—that immediately sets the stage for a journey through grief, unwanted change, and emotional turbulence. Mang also reflects on the parts of his life that are shifting beyond his control, confronting the pain of loss and the mental weight that comes with it. It’s a powerful moment of vulnerability wrapped in hard-hitting production.
4. Minute To Kill (Ft. 5AM)
“Minute to Kill,” featuring artist 5AM, is the fourth track on the album, and it leans more heavily into hip-hop than some of the project’s previous songs. The track centers around the idea of carving out a brief but meaningful moment to have a real conversation—no sugarcoating, no lies. Mang makes it clear he’s open to honesty and resolution, but he won’t waste his time on surface-level talk or emotional games. The production matches the urgency of the message, giving the track a bold, no-nonsense energy that stands out.
3. Mistaken
Opening the album, “Mistaken” sets a lo-fi, chill tone that contrasts beautifully with its emotional weight. The track dives into the heartbreak of misjudging a relationship—believing someone was meant to be good for you, only to realize you were wrong. It’s a breakup song wrapped in soft, melancholic production, with Mang’s introspective lyrics highlighting the pain of losing both a loved one and a part of himself in the process. Subtle yet powerful, “Mistaken” pulls listeners in with its vulnerability and smooth, reflective vibe.
2. OMG
“OMG” shifts the energy of Disaster on Neptune into vibrant electro-pop territory. It’s a dancefloor-ready track that feels tailor-made for clubs, raves, or anywhere the vibe calls for movement. Bursting with bright, infectious energy, the song carries the essence of spring—florals in bloom, warm breezes, and the rush of new beginnings. While the tone is soft and light, the beat is high-energy and impossible to ignore, making “OMG” a standout moment of carefree joy on the album.
1. Hurricane Season
“Hurricane Season” (Ft. Dishwater Blonde) is the emotional storm at the heart of Disaster on Neptune. As the third track on the album, it delves into themes of separation, coping through alcohol, and the raw fallout of emotional turmoil. Mang lays bare his pain and regret, while Dishwater Blonde’s feature adds soulful weight to the storytelling. The inclusion of police sirens and vivid imagery—like sitting in the back of a cop car—deepens the narrative, painting a picture of chaos, consequences, and inner conflict. It’s a haunting, gripping moment that cuts deep.
