Known for her powerful and evocative vocals, Naomi Campbell has enjoyed quite the evolution in the past few years. From her early Americana influences, she then embraced a wider soul and R&B character, a change that fits her very well. Evidence of that can be seen in the Liverpool-based songstress’ latest effort, the soothing, wholesome ballad ‘Don’t You Mind’.
The single is a heartwarming, poignant gem, perhaps the perfect match for a cold British autumnal evening. Campbell’s vocal tone is so impressive; extremely precise and malleable, wrapping the listeners in a blanket of shiny, lush energy – all with a comfortable undertone. What contributes to this feeling is perhaps the union of Naomi’s influences: from the raw, melancholic lyricism found in Americana to Soul’s more expressive, romantic references.
Overall, this feels like a step up for Campbell’s artistry. Constantly active in the Northern music scene, we hope to see more original releases coming from her, and frankly we are confident there’s a large audience that’s just waiting for it. How could they not? Such a majestic vocal tone! Speaking about the songwriting in ‘Don’t You Mind’, Naomi explains: “I wrote it in September last year reflecting on being able to share your troubles with your other half and letting them carry some of the weight.”
