| “British singer songwriter Pip Lewis reminds of La Roux or Goldfrapp in their more mellow moments but then there’s a mellow, West Coast guitar lick that transports you to a desert campfire at sunset. Vocally, this has a feel of Ellie Goulding’s early stuff and a cool, effortlessness that mixes intriguingly with the vulnerability of the lyrics.” – Listen With Monger |

| SAN DIEGO, CA — Rising alt-pop singer-songwriter Pip Lewis has unveiled her latest single, “Naomi,” a haunting and ethereal track lifted from her forthcoming debut album, Growing Pains. Blending confessional storytelling with shimmering production and evocative vocals, the song showcases Lewis’ unique ability to translate heartbreak into catharsis.At just 22 years old, Lewis brings over a decade of musical experience to her craft, drawing inspiration from artists like Fleetwood Mac and Ellie Goulding while carving a lane entirely her own. Now based in San Diego, the UK-born artist pairs indie-pop sensibilities with West Coast warmth and lyrical vulnerability.Speaking on the inspiration behind “Naomi,” Lewis shares:“Naomi was heavily inspired by Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Silver Springs.’ I had just watched their 1997 performance of the song at Warner Bros. Studios on YouTube at a point in my life where that Stevie Nicks style of seething, angsty breakup song was especially apt for me. I came up with a scenario in my head: a woman named Naomi meets a touring musician, strings him along, and ultimately breaks his heart. “The ancient proverb goes: you never mess a musician around” refers to a kind of warning aimed at Naomi. The song is almost a hex upon her. It plays with this mixture of revenge and bitterness — the idea that she’ll never truly escape the memory of what she did. Of course, this fictional narrative does echo parts of my own life.Sometimes, the only solace I have when someone breaks my heart is knowing that they’ll have to live with the fact that their actions are being heard — and judged — by thousands of people. That maybe, one day, they’ll get in their car, turn on the radio, and hear a beautiful retelling of the story of us.And they’ll know… I Stevie Nicks-ed their ass.”Naomi continues to build anticipation for Growing Pains, due later this year—a record that explores themes of coming-of-age, emotional upheaval, and personal evolution through immersive, genre-blurring soundscapes.Stream “Naomi” here: https://onerpm.link/PipLewisNaomi |
