Premiere: Naomi Pilgrim – ‘Mama’ (Giljotin Session)

Check it out now...

Naomi Pilgrim spent years in the background, working as a vocalist with artists such as Lykke Li.

When the time came, though, she confidently seized centre-stage – debut solo single 'No Gun' was a viral success, sparking a new burst of creativity.

Born in Barbados, she recently returned to the island from her home in Sweden, and this journey helped her to re-connect with her roots.

"It was difficult to see how Barbados had grown into a kind of poverty I couldn’t recall from my childhood. At the same time I was reminded of the joy that can come from simplicity. It was an important trip that helped me understand how to use my Barbadian heritage in my music.”

New EP 'Sink Like A Stone' is the result. Out now, it's a work of real depth, with no small degree of subtle poetry running through its veins.

Clash has obtained a live session recording, with Naomi Pilgrim oozing emotion on the frank, autobiographical 'Mama'.
