néomí, who we haven’t heard from since last year’s single”talk shit” (here), has a new track that really showcases her pop chops. “Do You Want To Be Honest?” differs a bit from “talk shit” as it doesn’t quite hit the folksy notes as much (and we’re all about dynamic artists here at the Blog). Drum machines (or is it just one?) and synth feature heavily, giving a nice 80’s pop vibe (eat your heart out Madonna), with plenty of acoustic guitar to keep things feeling organic and in the alt pop/indie pop lane. Speaking to the track, néomí had this to say:   “This song is about trying to find middle/solid ground when you can’t control the movements and actions of the people/world around you…”   You can hear “Do You Want To Be Honest?” below from Soundcloud or over on Spotify.

“talk shit” is the latest from Neomi Speelman, better know by her stage name néomí, off of her album “somebody’s daughter.” We’ve covered her her previously here, and not much has changed on our thoughts; s stunning folk-bedroom-dream pop-aesthetic in the vein Phoebe Bridgers, Bon Iver, or Big Thief. “talk shit” is an understated gem on an album full of them – a diamond in a field of diamonds, if you will. Instrumentally this is a guitar-forward track with a cool wispy effect thrown in (I think a guitar, but maybe a synth – you’ll see what I mean) that meshes incredibly well with Speelman’s vocals. She employs the less-is-more effect to great aplomb that you can’t help be sucked in by; the swirling vocals and effects are an auditory treat.
