NéOMí TRIGGER
Surinamese-Dutch folk-pop singer-songwriter néomí has released her new single ‘Trigger’. In true néomí style, it's a raw and unfiltered ballad, filled with tenderly constructed lyrics and beautiful melodies. Her arrangements are sparse and floaty, leaving space for that ethereal, almost cinematic feel that she can pluck out of thin air. “The song is so real and painful I don't think it needs a lot of explaining. It's about being deeply in love with someone you know it will not work with. You've never felt like you really want to hold on, but you know either way it's going to hurt. Staying or leaving. Preparing your heart for the inevitable hurt and difficulties that come with that.” Her new EP, Another Year Will Pass, is out on 31st October, 2025, via Nettwerk. -Dan Peeke
