Singer-songwriter néomí's new single, "Another Year Will Pass", is a touching moment of apparent calm. Neomi Speelman's musical project is renowned for its blend of honesty and sound. In this new song, she once again shows off her storytelling skills with great depth and sensitivity.
"Another Year Will Pass" was written during a time when the author was experiencing numerous personal challenges and reflecting deeply on them. It sounds like a slow breath out, and the melody is somewhere between sad and healing. With her unique blend of ethereal folk and striking alt-pop, néomí takes the listener on a journey through the subtle shifts that come with change, the quiet pain of acceptance, the heavy burden of time, and the gentle beauty of letting go.
Her delivery is quiet and personal, which makes the feelings last long after the last note has faded away. Her inspirations, which include Ben Howard, The Paper Kites, and Bon Iver, all come together to create a world that is all her own. Her voice rises softly above complicated acoustic textures, like sunlight on still water. Her lyrics talk about how pain can help people grow.
In "Another Year Will Pass," néomí doesn't hurry to find a way out. Instead, she gives people a rare chance to stay still when they don't know what's going on. The song suggests that change often occurs in subtle ways, such as when you lose something and then retrieve it.
This release makes néomí one of the most emotionally powerful new voices in modern folk-pop. She isn't afraid to make music out of silence.
