Often compared to legends such as Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette, and Joni Mitchell, everyone already has their eyes and ears fixed on her.β Too Much Love Magazine, Escarlina Mendoza
βNaomiβs latest release, titled βNever Let Go,β is a ballad that strikes a balance between mournful and celebratory tones. The song features impressive steely guitar melodies that are overlaid upon mystifying syncopated beats. This unique sound breaks out of the confines of pop and enters a realm of its own. The lyrics convey the struggle to resist changing oneβs mind and the inevitable defeat in doing so. They speak of a love that endures beyond time, where once felt, it remains forever, emphasizing the unwavering commitment to hold onto this love, portraying its unbreakable nature and the indelibility of some experiences. β KALTBLUT
