néomí’s Do You Want To Be Honest? Is a Gentle Collision of Stillness, Unrest, and Echoed Goodbyes
The Surinamese-Dutch singer, néomí returns with Do You Want To Be Honest? a track that hums with restraint.
The track plays like a moment suspended in thought—steady in pace, delicate in delivery, and quietly arresting.
She lets tension simmer beneath every word, with a voice that moves between vulnerability and quiet resolve.
The instrumentation is subtle but purposeful. A rhythmic backbone gives the song its quiet momentum, while folk-toned fingerpicking layers gently across the surface.
Just beneath it all, faint guitar strums—more rock than folk in texture—surface like distant echoes. They flicker in and out, adding grit to the softness without disrupting its core.
“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,” néomí shared.
That unrest is woven into the production, which never pushes, only circles.
There’s a quiet tension throughout which never leaves. The kind that builds from everything left unsaid.
With this first Nettwerk release, néomí lets the haze speak for itself.
The result is intimate, quietly haunting, and unmistakably hers.
