Adelaide's Naomi Keyte releases stunning, emotive new indie-folk single, 'Greenhill'

Beautifully bare and intimately powerful, indie-folk artist Naomi Keyte shapes her delicately spun stories into transformative musical experiences that have been captivating audiences for almost a decade.

With a cache of releases and accolades attesting to her prominence in the indie-folk/pop sphere, the Adelaide singer-songwriter is returning with her first release since dropping stunning track ‘Travelling Woman’ in 2020, announcing ‘Greenhill’ as the first single from her forthcoming sophomore LP.

A rich tapestry of interwoven guitars, soft piano tones, and layered vocal takes, ‘Greenhill’ cannot be pigeon-holed to a specific-sounding era, and the subtle Australian accent poking through in particular lyrical phrases makes for a comforting sound, like a musical warm hug and hot cup of coffee on a brisk morning. There’s a rich pairing of Ben Talbot-Dunn’s vocals with Keyte’s graceful voice eventually emerging in the chorus adding an extra warming element.

Detailing Keyte's experiences in lockdown, ‘Greenhill’ is a coming of age song reflecting on the people, possessions and moments that make a home special, and the simple things that help us through the difficult times, as she explains:

“Written about life in lockdown, ‘Greenhill’ details life in a sharehouse and honours the small things that make cohabitation meaningful. A love song to a house and its inhabitants, ‘Greenhill’ is a dedication to the simple things that make up a home.”

With a highly-anticipated sophomore album on the way, Naomi Keyte’s new single ‘Greenhill’ is out everywhere now.
