néomí – somebody’s daughter

Rising folk-pop singer and songwriter néomí starts the year with a vibrant yet powerful new single called ‘somebody’s daughter’.

The song presents listeners with an interesting contrast. The production blends dreamy pop with hazy indie, resulting in a playful sound. Meanwhile, the lyrics hit listeners with raw and moving words. The musician explains:

“To me ‘somebody’s daughter’ feels quite heavy as the message is really: whatever a person does, don’t forget he or she will still be someone’s kid. Times can get rough, and being mad on one another is healthy, but to forget the humanity behind a face can feel a bit cruel.”

“It is a sort of ‘cry for help’ like hey I am juggling through life too. Just like you and you and you, don’t forget I am still somebody’s daughter. Why are we alive if you can’t make mistakes, and what did I do by loving them all that time and getting just a simple rejection in return. Somehow in that state I was in, it didn’t feel fair. As if they forgot I am still somebody’s daughter.”

néomí will be on tour all across the Netherlands later this spring, with a big headline show at Amsterdam’s Tolhuistuin in May. In our view, it seems certain that néomí will become one of Europe’s most exciting musical exports this year.
