NEAV's debut EP is OUT NOW!

Listen now!

The 7 track EP features NEAV's award winning songs ‘Silence Song’ and 'Tragic Drama' along with her latest single ‘Say Goodbye’.

With each song that was created, I challenged myself to be more vulnerable and push the boundaries of who "NEAV" is as an artist.
