British-Chilean singer-songwriter Naomi in Blue releases her debut album Is this body mine?, moving through all shades of blue with folk, nueva canción and Americana influences. Across the album, introspective guitar-driven songs and raw vocals explore identity, friendship, love, and the beauty and pain of the world.
Naomi recorded the album live with her band in a residential studio in Wiltshire, featuring Matorral drummer Ítalo Arauz, guitarist Annie Needham and bassist Cuco Errázuriz, with producer Gus White.
“The album is a collection of songs from the past decade tracing identity, friendship and love as a woman. But there’s also darkness and reflections on experiences of violence and that of the world around. This music sat with me for a long time and the songs were largely solitary. But a week with the band in Gus’s barn studio brought it out the way it was meant to – without restraint, its purest expression.”
