Naima Bock

A singer/songwriter who defies easy classification, Naima Bock writes songs influenced by folk and Brazilian music, but most of all by the communal nature of music itself. A former member of the South London band Goat Girl, Bock was already an expert at blending genres into something fresh, but the buoyant mix of jazz, electronic, acoustic, and classical influences on 2022's lush yet confiding debut album Giant Palm still marked new territory for her.
