Oslojazz Talent: naema

Dark and mysterious

Based on their soul- and pop-inspired songs, naema stretches their material through live improvisations and musical playfullness giving them their unique sound.

WIth rough pop-ballads and lyrics based on sleepless streams of conciousness, namea has found their dark and mysterious expression. Sneaky double bass with hard string blows and a raw, boiling drum set adds a lovely edge to the melancholic melodies.
