Naomi In Blue - Is This Body Mine? (Vinyl LP) PRE-ORDER

Expected Release Date: 16-October-2026 - This Pre-order will be shipped on or just before this date. Release dates are subject to alteration.

Raw, soulful, intimately moving, Is this body mine? the debut album from British Chilean singer-songwriter Naomi in Blue is a striking journey into indie guitar-driven power, introspective folk, nueva cancion, and shades of Americana, all anchored in Naomi's remarkable voice. Drawing on Nick Cave's declarative vocal projections as much as Jeff buckley's haunting guitar, Angel Olsen's heart-worn lyricism, and the catchy, open groove of Foals, Is this body mine? is a much-anticipated first longform outing for one of London's most exciting new talents.

Enlisting her tight-knit band including Matorral drummer Italo Aruz, guitarist Annie Needham and bassist Cuco Errazuriz, Naomi and her quartet decamped to Wiltshire in late summer 2025 for a week-long residential recording session with producer Gus White (Maddie Ashman, Grace Elizabeth Harvey) and live-tracked the 11 journeying songs on the album. "We'd cook and eat together and it was the most wonderful, wholesome experience that made us become a little family," Naomi says. "Each morning I would go for a walk or run in the surrounding fields. It was so quiet, I managed to capture the last of the bright green before the leaves started to turn. It set the expansive mood for the record to come."

Among the album's highlights are the cacophonic blasts of opening track "All We Got", which was recorded in one take as Naomi sings yearningly about the need for love and compassion over Needham's twanging guitar and her emphatic foot stomps. While the distorted, full-throated entreaties of "Tattoos" recount a haunting from a former lover through Nick Cave-style vocals, "Magnolia" moves through Joni Mitchell-esque longing to sprawling, expansive guitars that bolster Naomi's wavering, emotional delivery, and "La Cana" features Naomi's first lyrics in Spanish, drawing on the troubadour stylings of Silvana Estrada and the nueva cancion of Violeta Parra as she reflects on a traumatic Chilean history of dictatorship and the ongoing pain and horror experienced by the people of Palestine.

"The album is a collection of songs from the past decade tracing identity, friendship and love as a woman. But there's also darkness and reflections on experiences of violence and that of the world around," Naomi says. "This music sat with me for a long time and the songs were largely solitary. But a week with the band in Gus's barn studio brought it out the way it was meant to - without restraint, its purest expression."
