Naomi Jane bursts out on “Pumpkin Eater,” the first high-energy country-pop song from her “Kinda Sorta Country” LP, with fire and wit. The single adapts a common nursery rhyme to invent an ingenious, sing-in-the-car anthem about lies, dating drama, and a girl in Ireland.
“Pumpkin Eater“ is bold right from the outset, and it’s the kind of heartbreak song that elicits chuckles and guilt. Naomi turns betrayal into a rhythmic clapback, anger into something you can dance to. The hook is designed for you to turn up the volume and roll down the windows, blending country storytelling with pop precision.
The single was produced and mixed by Adam Zelkind, nd it’s a sharp, modern pop sound that retains the energy of a live performance. The production is lucid but also spirited, leaving room for Naomi’s raw songwriting to shine. An official music video, written and directed by Naomi and shot by Matthew Patrick Donner, will drop on March 27. It gives the story a satirical, pumpkin-filled road trip aesthetic that makes the nursery rhyme twist feel like an actual quest.
The video is a modern folk tale and revenge fantasy all at once, leaning fully into the joke while maintaining a sense of style and story. “Pumpkin Eater“ establishes the upcoming LP’s mood with a bold personality. Naomi Jane is telling the story, controlling it, directing it, and shining a light on others who will join her ride. This release proves that country-pop can be smart and cinematic, while also being all the way in on the joke.
