Heartfelt RnB in its purest form
Arriving as a double single, Naomi Sharon‘s Another Life / Celestial hits like a quiet storm, effortlessly consuming the listener with its enticing soul-infused production and angelic vocals. The Dutch Caribbean artist has been on our radar as a modern-day star of truly heartfelt RnB for a hot minute, and as she becomes the first female artist to sign with Drake’s OVO Sound, we hope that this new chapter will fully cement Sharon’s presence on the scene. And with every new chapter, of course, there is new music. On the freshly dropped Celestial, the artist is not afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve. Throughout, the track remains still yet expands its horizons in melodic intricacy and emotional depth with each second going by, as we join on this intimate journey of pains and sentimentalities surrounding heartbreak. The accompanying video isn’t any less mesmerising – all filmed in one continuous shot, Sharon’s gracefully dark and theatrical presence delivers the song with purity and soul-stirring sincerity.
