South London songwriter has shared her new single ‘Rocks’.

Out now, it follows an extensive period of touring, including stints alongside , Dinosaur Jr. and .

CLASH caught up with Naima at the AIM Awards recently, and she intimated that new material was on the horizon – including a long-awaited studio album.

New single ‘Rocks’ is out now, and it opens her fresh chapter. Released via Breakfast Records / Fire Talk, it’s a personal and refreshingly honest song, framed by Naima’s knack for melodic beauty.

The folk adjacent aspects of her work ring out clearly, alongside a passion for left-field songwriters such as Will Oldham.

Produced by Jack Ogborne (Bingo Fury, The Cindys) and recorded at  in North London, she says of the song:

‘Rocks’ is a very personal song, the story of which I’ll leave to the listener to interpret. It came to me on a rainy autumn night as my flight was ascending to somewhere less cold. I’d been listening to Palace Music non-stop for a month. Writing it saved me from my chronic oscillation between to-be home and not-to-be home, that is when I decided I would do both.

Tune in now.

From April 2027, Naima will embark on her own headline tour of the UK and EU, including London’s EartH on April 22nd.
