Quaint, velvety soft, alluring vocals welcome you into the indie folk world of emerging singer-songwriter Naomi Connell on her newest single 'Strangers', a tender, heartbreaking ballad about lovers becoming strangers to each other.
Last year, Naomi won the Toyota Country Music Championships (just two years removed from quitting her 9-5 job to focus on music full-time) with her collection of originals that interweave genres yet sounds timeless.And 'Strangers' once more showcases an artist with the ability to create music that evokes a rich, emotional response with its enchanting melodies and poignant lyrics.
"This song is for anyone who has ever felt alienated or estranged from their partner," Naomi says.
"It captures that unbearable moment when you're faced with that deeper knowing that your once lover now feels like a stranger.
"As often times I've found in my own experience, these moments of heartbreak can often guide us into an empowering call of action. Do I stay or do I go?"
Ahead of the single's release tomorrow (17 September), scenestr is thrilled to premiere 'Strangers' today. Enjoy.
Naomi Connell plays The Bearded Lady (Brisbane) 24 September.
