Following the quiet power of her singles ‘Do You Want To Be Honest?’, ‘It’s Never Easy (Leaving Someone Behind)’ and ‘Trigger’, and a recent nomination for the Dutch peer voted annual Zilveren Notenkraker award (Silver Nutcracker), Dutch/Surinamese singer-songwriter néomí returns with one final glimpse into her forthcoming EP Another Year Will Pass, out on October 31, with the stirring new offering ‘Sit Back Baby’.

A whispered rallying cry set to néomí’s unmistakable blend of gentle folk and poetic alt-pop, ‘Sit Back Baby’ is both a personal mantra and an open invitation to surrender, try again, and live in the messiness of it all. The track sees her wrestling with uncertainty, grief, and self-doubt, even as she tries to comfort those around her.

“It’s a song where I’m trying to convince myself it’s going to be fine,” néomí explains. “I’m telling everyone else, especially my loved ones, that it’s going to be fine. Of course, I know nothing is fine, and it will never be fine – but that’s what makes it fine. It’s a call for myself, and encouragement to others: try to live, try to move on. If things get heavy or difficult, just sit back and let it go.”

The track encapsulates the bittersweet core of néomí’s songwriting; equal parts fragile and fierce, heart-wrecking and hopeful.
