Naomi Jane is not just singing about love: She’s taking back her power. “Press Send” features a jarring amount of emotion in a deceptively tight shoe, with the young artist’s music doing the fearsome cinematic thing that an artist does wearing backless heels and feminist jangly boots. Here, Davis abruptly gives you Press Send, her latest single. A standout from her debut EP, Sweet Talk, the track reflects the all-too-familiar moment of finally severing ties with a toxic relationship and choosing yourself instead.
Laying over a bedrock of moody guitars, thudding beats, and Naomi’s delightfully messy vocals, Press Send manages to sound both intimate and anthemic. The lyrics sound like a message sent after midnight and retracted. A whispered disclosure rendered a rabble-rousing cry for self-value. “I almost let you pull me back in, But I press send, and that’s the end,” she sings, summing up the quiet fortitude it takes to walk away.
Inspired by the lyrical works of Joni Mitchell and Alanis Morissette, Naomi wraps a folk-oriented narrative aesthetic in a modern alt-pop chrysalis. Her classical training as a mezzo-soprano and multi-instrumentalist is evident in “Press Send” layered vocal harmonies and emotional depth. But what indeed sets her apart is her ability to make vulnerability feel like a superpower.
Bridging the worlds of New York and California, Naomi was born and raised between the two creative hubs, making her sound as dynamic as her background. With Press Send, she offers more than a breakup song. It’s a manifesto for emotional honesty in the era of digital facades.
