2nd SINGLE FROM NEW ALBUM BLACK WATER OUT ON MAY 17th
Vancouver alt-rock musician Naomi King shares their new single “Like All The Other Boys” out now on all digital streaming platforms.
“Like All The Other Boys” is the second single from Naomi’s new album, Black Water, set for release on May 17th. Naomi wrote the amusing and cheeky track about being pursued by a guy who becomes disinterested when he finally gets what he wants.
“‘Like All The Other Boys’ is a fun rant about a guy that love-bombed me and then completely lost interest when I finally reciprocated,” says Naomi. “My best friend was going through the exact same thing at the exact same time, so I wrote it for the two of us. While I might have been mad when I wrote it, the song is so fun and the music video so hilarious, I now just laugh when I hear it!”
Music has always been a part of Naomi’s life. In fact, their mother says they sang before they spoke. They began learning to play the piano at four years old, picking up the violin at six, and when they were nine, Avril Lavigne released her first single. And Naomi was never the same. They stole their mother’s guitar and never gave it back, and have been writing songs ever since.
When Naomi was fifteen, they started posting their original songs on YouTube. Over the years, they would not only grow as a singer and songwriter but as a producer. They have released over twenty albums independently, and while you can tell they didn’t really know what they were doing in the beginning, Naomi wears that badge with pride. But with Black Water, they did it differently.
Completely self-written and produced, Naomi’s new album Black Water is a deep and personal project, exploring mental health, bipolar disorder, manipulative relationships, coercion, assault, and healing. From quiet and ambient tunes to loud and angry rock, to happy pop, to fantasy soundtrack themes, Black Water explores the deepest parts of some of the hardest years of Naomi King’s life.
