London-based musician Niomí has shared her stunning new single Snow alongside her debut EP Susurrus. Offering delicate vocals that softly envelope you, Niomí’s sound gently caresses you to make you feel as if you have found your safe haven. The three-track EP takes this feeling to new heights, as Niomí opens up through poignant songwriting and candid lyricism that touch on the loss of friendship and the end of relationships, creating a space where you can also leave your related troubles.

Snow is of particular comfort to anyone who is trying to move on, as it describes the moment when you finally start feeling able to carry on without the same heaviness in your chest. With delicate beats and airy vocals, a soothing sound is created that will calm you and make you feel as if you can confide and trust in the music.

Speaking more on the inspiration behind the track, Niomí shares:

I’m scared of the dark and when I sleep alone, I usually keep a light on. After a brutal break up of a relationship of 7 years I remember finally feeling like I was moving on when I could sleep with the lights off. When I started writing ‘Snow’, that first lyric set the tone for the rest of the song; ‘I think I’m getting over you, I’m sleeping with the lights out’. It’s about that point after a relationship ends where you start to feel ok again. I love the image of freshly fallen snow and how pure and clean it is. That’s how I felt coming out the other side of that relationship.
