New Music: néomí – your girl

Published On: October 11th, 2023|

Folk-flavoured but with a plaintive dreampop beat, your girl is a tale of love, heartbreak, and personal identity. Inspired by real-life events, this lushly arranged track by néomí has the most quietly devastating combination of dreamy vocals and stark lyrics this side of Joni Mitchell, Taylor Swift, and Laura Veirs.

Says néomí, “your girl is about people (whether known personally to you or not) painting a picture ‘you,’ using their own words, their stories, their interpretation of who they think you are today, or you should be tomorrow or how you were in the past.”

“Of course, would it be a néomí song without a bit of love? Haha. I was hurt by a loved one, and watched as that person hurt someone they love and vice versa.”

“So, there you go: I’ve got another love song for you. Again, the song is more than just that, to me it has different layers so I’m not sure more words would help, just listen, and find out yourself what you feel. Maybe one day we can talk about it.”

You are sure to catch néomí play your girl at AMOR in Antwerp on the 12th of December. The singer-songwriter has also announced a May 2024 headline gig at Tolhuistuin in Amsterdam.

Streaming options for your girl, which is out now via [PIAS], include Apple Music, Deezer, and Spotify. Check out the artist on Facebook and Instagram for more streaming options and ticket news.
