néomí is telling the truth we so often avoid.
Fresh off the back of two heart-wrenching singles and a major award nomination, néomí is back with “Trigger”, and it might be her most emotionally cut-throat release yet.
The Dutch-Surinamese singer-songwriter has always had a gift for laying bare the kind of feelings most of us can’t even name, and “Trigger” is no exception. It’s a song about loving someone so deeply it hurts, but knowing you’ll never really be able to keep them. No theatrics, just brutal honesty that sinks in slowly like cold water.
Where past releases leaned into aching reflection, “Trigger” is pure raw release. It sits in that awful middle space between staying and leaving, asking what happens when both options feel like losing. It’s heartbreak sung softly, but it leaves a bruise.
Visually, the western-inspired music video leans into this tension too. Shot by Dirkje Duwel, it places néomí and her co-star in a slow-building face-off that mirrors the emotional standoff at the core of the track. Eye contact becomes its own language, and every glance feels like a trigger in itself.
With a UK tour now confirmed and her new EP ‘Another Year Will Pass’ gaining momentum, néomí is heading into a new era, one that balances delicate intimacy with bigger, more cinematic soundscapes. Think poetic pop meeting indie folk, but make it soul-baring.
What makes this new chapter feel different is the clarity. After a long period of personal growth, therapy, and deep reflection, her music now holds space for healing too. These aren’t just songs for the sad anymore. They’re for anyone trying to feel everything and make peace with it.
