The [PIAS] Store

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’ is set for release on May 3rd via [PIAS], showcased by the tender new single “someone new”.

Featuring the record’s previously shared title-track, “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 self-healing through reflection.
