Description

After dazzling us with her impactful breakthrough EPs ‘before’ and ‘after’ in recent years, which were supported by the likes of BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6Music, néomí, aka Surinamese/Dutch folk-pop singer-songwriter Neomi Speelman, has now announced her long-awaited debut album ‘somebody’s daughter’.

“somebody’s daughter” sees néomí expand the stripped-back and acoustic-led aesthetic of her infancy to explore a more varied and multifaceted sound throughout. Regularly adopting a broader and more euphoric direction here, this new LP aims to brighten and illuminate her already powerful and emotive sound to date. 

The album is produced by Will Knox, a long-time collaborator with néomí who was also present during the writing and recording of her first two EPs: ‘before’ and ‘after’. The album’s themes follow néomí’s journey through adolescence, young adulthood and newly found womanhood. ‘somebody’s daughter’ presents 11 chapters in néomí’s coming of age story which follows a young woman’s journey through trust, love, and ultimately selfhealing through reflection. 

Speaking about her new full-length, she said, "The reason why I wrote an album like ‘somebody’s daughter’ is because I often can't find words to express myself in certain situations. Where feelings can be overpowering and take control because I felt them so deeply. It has been my therapy in times of despair and my joy when I truly needed happiness. I tried to be as honest as possible. I'm telling stories about letting go and forgiving a loved one after being convinced they would be in your life forever. It is about grief, grief for yourself, the old you who you are leaving behind. It includes anger, for the times I didn't stand up for yourself when I should have. It was getting to know myself, and to do that is to go through the past and look back on certain situations and times. This record pulled me through so many things.”
