Surinamese/Dutch folk-pop singer-songwriter néomí shares the gloriously tender “if i wasn’t made for love”. With a vibrant video to match, the single’s a heartfelt search for love. A beautiful exploration into folk, néomí is an artist with stunning vocals and a gift for meditative sounds.
“The video is about searching for love in a person but not finding any affection back. It is about not knowing who you are within ‘love’ itself, and wondering if you were made for love at all. “Shooting this video was a lot of fun. The dress I wear in the bed scene at the end is from Rosalie Boonstra, it’s one of her most recognisable dresses, which has been featured in Vogue. We pulled some favours to get that dress! The funny part about that was I couldn’t dress myself but needed 2 people to put it on because it was so heavy. I fell multiple times trying to walk and dance around the room… I was so scared of destroying this masterpiece. The doll in the video also got a nickname called “baby boy”. I think we’ll probably be taking him on tour with us for a while now!”
