Singer-songwriter néomí shares a delicate and personal meditation in the form of her new single, "Sit Back Baby", the last preview ahead of her EP, "Another Year Will Pass", out on October 31st via Nettwerk.
Serving as both a personal mantra and an open-hearted invitation, "Sit Back Baby" finds néomí wrestling with the momentum of uncertainty, mourning, and self-doubt while offering solace to those beside her. There's something admirably unsparing about it. It's a song that doesn't attempt to avoid life's messiness, but rather embraces it with the gentle reassurance that it is okay to stumble and try again. "Sit Back Baby" marks a further assertive progression in her musical journey, ahead of her debut EP "Before," released this spring through PIAS. It's a song of intimacy and expanse at the same time, making room to breathe, reflect, and even surrender. The listener is left with an affirmation of their own personhood, a reminder that the broken place is just part of the process, and there's peace in resting and letting life unfold.
néomí funnels her inspiration, drawing from everyone from Bon Iver and Phoebe Bridgers to Bob Dylan and The Paper Kites, into rich, otherworldly folk-pop soundscapes. Acoustic guitars glisten under the weight of her emotive voice, yet tender, with a preference that draws you in, diary-like storytelling. Each lyric feels handwritten, each melody a little confession, and that's always been the case with her songwriting.
At the heart of "Another Year Will Pass," néomí continues to make music that feels both introspective and universally relatable, establishing herself as a deep-thinking voice in modern folk-pop. This is a single you need to hear if you love songs that sound like warm conversations and honest confessions set to an ethereal melody.
