Dutch/Surinamese singer-songwriter néomí shares tender offering “Trigger,” capturing the tension of inevitable heartbreak within a swooning melody. With a lovelorn vibe led by emotive ballad stylings, the track is an unfiltered look at loving someone you know you can’t keep.
Centred on the impossible choice between holding on and letting go, the track is real and relatable as it weaves an introspective tale of being deeply in love despite knowing it won’t work out and bracing yourself for the hurt that will follow.
An enticing peek at her new EP Another Year Will Pass, the track is accompanied by delicate yet vivid visuals directed by Dirkje Duwel. Speaking of the video, they say, “We drew inspiration from the iconic western stand-off. In a subtle, charged atmosphere, Neomi and Anna engage in a delicate challenge, gradually finding their way back to each other. Through the use of point-of-view shots and the intricate exchange of glances, we aimed to convey the tension to the viewer. Bringing this emotion to life on screen was a truly rewarding challenge.”
With an expansive folk-pop artistry that dives into themes of self-acceptance, change, and resilience, néomí’s soundscape sway seamlessly between nostalgia and moving forward let by soulful storytelling and cinematic sonics.
