Naess made her name in the early ‘00s on warm, radiant, lyrically-driven indie rock, earning a wide range of rave reviews. Vanity Fair’s Lisa Robinson called her debut “gorgeous,” while Billboard lauded her “sweetly melancholic” and “angel-evoking” sound. In those years, Naess was living in the historic Chelsea Hotel, befitting her prominent role in the New York music scene and international cult following. Naess’ diverse musical past also includes time studying music composition and even singing onstage as a child with her then-stepmother, the legendary Diana Ross. Singular moments of vitality, loss, and growth in Naess’ life define her songs’ origin, but their echoes and heartfelt murmurs will resonate with listeners at any point in those cycles.
Naess’ articulate expression of independence and strength through her music not only showcases her exceptional talent, but also serves as an inspiring call to action for anyone on the path to self-discovery and empowerment. Her newest single, "Karma's Comet" is more than just a song; it’s a manifesto for personal growth and embracing one's true self, unapologetically.
