Naima Adams

Presenting her debut EP ‘When We Let Go’, South London–based artist and vocalist Naima Adams melds contemporary R&B with finely layered vocal textures, personal storytelling and a soul‑capturing tone. Across six tracks connected by tussles with closure, endurance and freeing one’s past, Adams questions “how long till I know when to let go?”.

Comprising fixtures of Adams’ live set since her debut festival appearance at Cross The Tracks in May 2024 as well as previous singles ‘Fragile’ and ‘Stay’ (2024), the Rome via D.C.–raised artist presents ‘When We Let Go’, an EP of solo material written across the last four years, co‑produced alongside pianist and composer Lorenz Okello‑Osengor (And Is Phi, Sofia Grant).

‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ opens the EP with lucid romance, complete with strings and bossa/samba rhythms, followed by Adams’ debut offering ‘Fragile’, an open introspection of loss and hope in the modern age, supported by Bandcamp Radio and Jazz FM and featured as part of Line Of Best Fit’s ‘New Music Discovery’.
