Pip Lewis Releases New Song “Naomi”
San Diego-based British singer-songwriter Pip Lewis released a new song “Naomi” on May 16, 2025.
The song is taken from her upcoming debut album “Growing Pains”, which is se to be released on June 13, 2025 via ENCI Records.
It was written by Pip Lewis and produced by Mylo Bard, as with her previous song “Funeral”, which was released last month.
The song was inspired by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac’s 1976 song “Silver Springs”, blending confessional storytelling with shimmering production and evocative vocals.
Pip Lewis said of the song, “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.”- She continued, “'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.”
She added, “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.” -
