néomí is the moniker for folk-pop singer-songwriter neomi speelman. inspired by artists like Bon Iver, Ben Howard, Bob Dylan, Phoebe Bridgers, The Paper Kites and Novo Amor, she writes authentic and sincere stories backed by dreamy soundscapes inspired by classic folk songwriters, old and new alike. writing songs has been a second nature to her since she first picked up the guitar. her debut album 'somebody's daughter' was released on may 3rd via [PIAS] and follows néomí’s journey through adolescence, young adulthood and newly found womanhood.
“writing my songs is like keeping a diary. everything i sing is sincere and i hope that people hear the honesty. my first ep came very naturally. it marks a time before things got heavy and reminds me of the juvenile me where life was simple. listening to it puts my mind at ease, i hope it does the same to you.”
In december 2023 my mother died. Your song Garden helped me very much. Now, may 2024,my dad died. This is so unreal. Again I feel comfort. Thank you for this beautiful song.
this song would be perfect for me if it could lose the synth/guitar bit before she sings "Yesterday". Beautiful song, discovered this via Great Escape fest
If I needed a reason to make the journey to see you at The Old Blue Last (I don't though!!!) this song would be it. Achingly beautiful... so hope you play it 🤞🤞🤞although I may have tears in my eyes on the drive back home
“For all the times you decided it was my bad, when actually you were ruining my head. For all the times I still love you, wondering why I would still do anything for you” is not something just anybody could say. Especially not those who took you for granted and left you when you were ready to give the whole world to them. Love the lyrics in these new releases! Also, can we take a moment to appreciate these three music videos? Also, the aspect ratio of 4:3 was such a cinematic treat, especially paired with that dreamy color grading!
