Naima Bock releases new single "Lines"

"Lines" follows Naima Bock's 2022 debut album Giant Palm. The standalone single, engineered and produced by Ali Chant at The Playpen Studio in Bristol last year, is teamed with a Kit Harwood-directed video.

""Lines" is about what we do to each other, some call the dance of intimacy, exchanges," Naima Bock says. "What we are given, carry with us, then subsequently pass on to others- good and bad. How the recipient is often undeserving of the negative side of this reality. It’s about trying to dodge blame and the loneliness of guilt. It’s about the irony of impermanence and unhealthy patterns coexisting; ‘nothing stays’ but ‘nothings changed’. The idea of change I had grown accustomed to but the reality that some things won’t change until you actively work on them is something new to me, preferring to adopt a slightly lazy attitude and misunderstanding the saying ‘all passes’. Sometimes it doesn’t pass quickly enough. It’s also a song about anger, and the familiarity of not knowing where to put it."
