nowah: "Teardrops"
Inspired by the great alternative singer-songwriters of the past decades from Cobain to Demarco, nowah a.k.a. Noah Kinney has been busy printing, pressing, and curating his unique strain of lo-fi infused Indie Pop and Rock in his home state of Wyoming. His new single out now, “Teardrops” is a pure example of his soulful guitar work, songwriting, and artistic relevance. Inspired by a riff and road trip across his home state of Wyoming “Teardrops” has dreamy vibes and lush aesthetic that defines much of nowah’s work.
Back in his head for years, "Teardrops" kept coming back and it was birthed. Produced by Dan Searl of Lit Honey Productions this song has a breakbeat infused Indie Post Rock meets Indie Pop feel. Drawing influence from the beautiful landscape of Wyoming, nowah's work is a testament to his drive and artistry as he composes quality music at the young age of 17.
“The song is Inspired by the classic guitar part to The Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun”, I chose the chords that sounded the most emotional to me.” says nowah
After reworking it on a trip to Jackson, WY Noah Kinney (artist name: nowah) came up with what would be close to the final product. Later, during another trip with friends in central Wyoming he had brought my journal incase, he wrote the lyrics on that journey.
“After getting home and finally analyzing all the components, I realized this could be a really interesting bluesy/pop song. Pitching it to Dan, I think he captured that vision pretty well”
He adds, “Like most all of my songs, the lyrics for Teardrops are written about the emotions I feel on a daily basis and sort of how I feel about myself as an individual. Mostly stating how I feel about myself when I actually get to writing a song, the words are vague enough to where they can easily be twisted anyway you want. they can fit a variety of situations and emotions.”
Nowah is an LHP artist and community member of the growing Record Label and Artist Collective, Lit Honey Productions based in Boston, MA (IG: @lithoneyproductions). He was welcomed onto the label this year and you will be hearing more of his unique sound with a variety of releases soon.
