Dutch-Caribbean singer-songwriter Naomi Sharon returns with “Can We Do This Over,” a delicate yet defiant meditation on love, loss, and second chances. This new song is the first taste of her forthcoming EP, which will be released later this year.
Co-written with legendary Justin Tranter, Naomi’s trademark ethereal falsetto glides over a slow-burning groove, bringing the heft of yearning and contemplation. The production is sparse but intentional, and every note, silence, and whispered breath make the song’s emotional weight heavier. This is about the hushed strength that accompanies that acknowledgment.
Naomi explained that she wanted to pull people into the story. It’s emotional, but there’s power in it. And that’s precisely what “Can We Do This Over” provides, a refined blend of vulnerability and strength. It leans into a different kind of hope, not a desperate plea to resettle something lost. It recognizes the hurt and the potential to move on with a clearer head.
This notion of transformation reflects the crux of Naomi’s artistry. Her first album, “Obsidian,” dealt with similar feelings but had a more sinister edge. This marks the beginning of this new era, with her stepping into the light and parting ways with the shadows while respecting the past.
For those who can’t wait to witness Naomi’s magic live, she’s bringing her bewitching energy to London’s Cross The Tracks festival on May 25th, starting an exciting new chapter. If “Can We Do This Over” is any indication, Naomi Sharon’s upcoming body of work will be equal parts soul-baring and uplifting. With this track, she’s not simply requesting a second chance in love but asking us to self-reflect, heal, and restart. And that is a message worth hearing.
