With her new recording, "It's Never Easy," Amsterdam native néomí isn't holding back emotionally. A haunting whisper from the heart, "It's Never Easy," arrives wrapped in the shadowy embrace of stripped-back acoustics and a slow-burning orchestral crescendo, the equivalent of sitting and watching the last light fade from a room that had once been your own.
A master of the soft devastation, néomí again showcases her heart-strung songwriting. "It's Never Easy." chronicles the subdued grief of parting ways not in anger but with a grace that can only come from deep love and hard choices. You have to give up a whole identity to break that apart, capturing that disorienting loss of someone who once felt so much like part of your skin, another way.
Backed by ghostly guitar and tremulous washes of dark electronica, her voice is a confessional in the dark, fragile yet confident. And then, following classic néomí protocol, we are given catharsis, a swell of strings that rushes not to heal, but to honor. The track is a preview of her upcoming EP, 'Another Year Will Pass,' scheduled for release on October 31, 2025, via Nettwerk. If this song is any indication, the full release must be a soul-stirring exploration of loss, resilience, and self-reclamation. "It's Never Easy" is out now, and it's one of those all-too-rare songs that makes you feel the ache of goodbye, while also knowing, yes, there's gotta be a word for not wanting to let go.
