Following the release of her recent singles "Do You Want To Be Honest?" and "It's Never Easy (Leaving Someone Behind)," Dutch-Surinamese singer-songwriter néomí returns with her latest track, "Trigger." The song, released ahead of the weekend, is taken from her forthcoming EP Another Year Will Pass, due out on October 31st and captures the emotional turmoil of unreciprocated love, set against a delicate, finger-picked guitar melody. Reflecting on the release, néomí shares: "The song is so real and painful I don't think it needs a lot of explaining. It's about being deeply in love with someone you know it will not work with. You've never felt like you really want to hold on, but you know either way it's going to hurt. Staying or leaving. Preparing your heart for the inevitable hurt and difficulties that come with that." Video director Dirkje Duwel gives some insight into the visual for "Trigger", "for this video, we drew inspiration from the iconic western stand-off. In a subtle, charged atmosphere, Neomi and Anna engage in a delicate challenge, gradually finding their way back to each other. Through the use of point-of-view shots and the intricate exchange of glances, we aimed to convey the tension to the viewer. Bringing this emotion to life on screen was a truly rewarding challenge."
