"This Is Over", a strong new single from Oakland indie rocker Naomi Neva. A group of women at Hear Me Roar Studio made the song, which has distortion, emotional highs and lows, and the deep clarity that comes after a relationship slowly falls apart.
"This Is Over" makes its point clear from the start. The guitars make a snarling and grinding sound that is relieving, and they let Neva's voice, which is both hurtful and defiant, take centre stage. Her performance is like a deep exhalation after holding your breath for a long time, real, unpolished, and impossible to ignore. By the chorus, the song has become a call to action for those who have accepted that the connection they wanted is impossible.
The song is about realising that you won't get what you want from anyone and that it's time to stop pretending. "This Is Over" is sad, funny, and human because it shows the tension between being aware and taking action.
Naomi Neva loves the emotional chaos and makes dissonant chords and piercing hooks into something that is definitely empowering. "This Is Over" is more than just a song about letting go, it's a strong reminder that clarity, even if it hurts, is a different kind of freedom.
