The compelling new single is from the artist’s colossal new album Black Water
Multi-hyphenate musician, actor, author, tattoo artist, and who knows what more Naomi King is somebody who seems to have artistry and creativity running through their veins, and the compelling beauty and grace of their latest single ‘Shadow’ makes for another highlight among their glittering aray of art.
The track comes with a self-directed video from the artist that looks to a sense of artful subtlety in order to amplify the sheer beauty and stripped-back power of the track. The package as a whole makes for a truly awe-inspiring and all-encompassing experience that will stick to you both for how stunning the melodies and musical arrangements are while also for how poignant and purposeful the message is. The track truly is a showcase of a nuanced and expansive artist operating at the peak of their powers, and showcases how less can often be more in devastatingly moving fashion.
Says Naomi: “‘Shadow’ is a song about loss of innocence. About losing oneself when surrounded by others. Many people go through hard times that force us to create versions of ourselves that might actually survive. ‘I became what I had to just to stay alive, I couldn’t get through the battle alone.’”
