Luigi Neighbours’ "Right Person, Wrong Lifetime" EP is all about Love, Loss, and 2000s Rock.

Luigi Neighbours’ debut EP Right Person, Wrong Lifetime is built around some pretty personal experiences.

Across six songs, Luigi touches on love, loneliness, grief, missed chances, and the feeling of having to start over when life doesn’t go the way you expected. The story behind the EP gives the music extra meaning. After losing his father unexpectedly in 2024, Luigi started looking at life differently. He began travelling, writing music in Norway, and eventually moved to London to start a new chapter. That sense of change comes through in the songs, especially when the lyrics deal with people and moments that are no longer there.

The title track, “Right Person, Wrong Lifetime,” focuses on that frustrating idea of meeting someone who feels right when the circumstances are completely wrong. “Romance Isn’t Dead” takes things in a more hopeful direction, while “Thank You” and “Surrogate You” have a more reflective feel. “Supernatural” adds another side to the EP, bringing in some of the dreamy and slightly mysterious elements that are part of Luigi’s overall style. There’s a lot of emotion here, but the songs don’t feel like they’re trying to hide it. Luigi is pretty open about love, loss, and wanting to believe in something genuine. That honesty gives the EP its personality. Even when the subject matter gets heavy, there’s still a sense of hope running underneath it.

With Right Person, Wrong Lifetime, Luigi Neighbours introduces more than just a collection of songs. He starts building a world around his music, combining emotional rock with his own idea of “Heartgrunge.”

The term “Heartgrunge,” which Luigi uses for his sound, brings together Y2K rock, post-grunge, emo, and pop. You can hear those influences throughout the record, especially in the guitars and bigger melodic moments, but there’s also a softer side that keeps the songs from becoming too heavy.

What makes Right Person, Wrong Lifetime interesting is that it feels like the beginning of something rather than the final statement. Luigi has created a clear world around the music, but there’s still plenty of room for that sound to grow.

It’s an honest debut from an artist turning a difficult period into something creative. There’s heartbreak here, but there’s also a real sense of moving forward and that gives Right Person, Wrong Lifetime something worth coming back to.
