When the Dust Finally Settles
Naomi Neva’s “This Is Over” isn’t your standard breakup song — it’s the sound of someone clawing their way out of the wreckage and still finding beauty in the bruises. The Oakland indie rocker trades heartbreak for grit, wrapping raw emotion in a haze of distortion and truth.
From the first blast of guitar, there’s a pulse that feels alive — defiant, even. Neva’s voice doesn’t beg for sympathy; it owns the chaos. Every word feels scraped from a real wound, yet the delivery has this strange calm, like she’s finally seeing things clearly after a storm. You can almost picture her mid-flight, penning fury and freedom in equal measure, while the world outside the window keeps moving on.
Produced by Kimberley Shires and her all-female crew at Hear Me Roar Studio, the track carries that electric mix of control and abandon. It nods to punk energy and Ani DiFranco’s fearless honesty, but Neva makes it entirely her own — grounded, feminine, unapologetic.By the time the chorus crashes in, “This Is Over” feels less like a goodbye and more like a reclamation. It’s catharsis with teeth — the sound of letting go, but not quietly. Naomi Neva has crafted a modern indie anthem that burns down the past just to light the way forward.
