NAOMI COWAN RELEASES HER LATEST SINGLE “KINGSTON TRAFFIC!”

KINGSTON Traffic is the latest single by singer Naomi Cowan. Arranged by Cleveland “Clevie” Browne and produced by her dad, Tommy Cowan, the song addresses myriad challenges that are ‘congesting’ the human race in its plight of seeking a better life.

“The song is a metaphor to the reality of what we’re facing, not only in Kingston but across the globe. So much war, unrest, distrust amongst people; it’s almost as though everyone is grasping for straws, trying to hold on to whatever they can…and understandably so. The last three years have not been easy, normal or fathomable for me. I still can’t believe that for two years I have not been able to do what I love freely — perform my music,” said Naomi Cowan.

“An artiste’s duty is to reflect the times. I’ve been feeling and observing so much noise, so much congestion all around the place. Everyone’s trying to ‘make it’ and willing to run over the next person to get there,” she continued.

Kingston Traffic was released on all major platforms on Friday.

“Kingston is the kind of place that teaches you from a very young age how to navigate the outside world with a strong sense of awareness, tact and wisdom,” she added.

Tommy Cowan, impresario and veteran music insider, gave his take on Kingston Traffic.

“Kingston Traffic is really a confusing situation. The main point is that our lives can be better than traffic without confusion. It’s a song of purpose. In spite of your background or present situation, it speaks of the value of discipline, ‘start out early’. Don’t get trapped into the fake situation,” he said.

“There’s a lot of congestion around us, if you pay attention. There’s a lot of noise. Everyone’s hustling; posting constantly on social media…” he added.

Naomi Cowan is known for other hits such as Paradise Plum, Peace of Mind, Climbing and Energy.
