“Naomi” balances dreamy intrigue with a pulsing dance-friendly infectiousness, representing the latest from Swiss-born Dutch native producer and songwriter DOT5. The track precedes the upcoming COULEURS EP; each track on the release represents a feeling, culminating in a story representative of the artist’s past two years. Audibly conveying the feeling of falling in love, “Naomi” is dedicated to a girl the artist met during the EP’s production process.
The emotive dance-friendly sound enthralls throughout, escalating from a dreamy initial introspection into a rhythmic-laden clarity. The desiring vocal sample — “I just wanna,” — floats effortlessly amidst the heady synth pulses, reminiscent of Unicorn Kid’s hypnotic effervescence. This is a gorgeous song that’s easy to get lost in, particularly as you gaze into the eyes of a new love, as the sun slowly sets beneath the crashing waves; summertime love is conveyed with resonating, melodic satisfaction here.
