“Toxic Attachments” is about the emotional bonds we create & the energy imbalance that happens when we focus on the outer-world more than we focus on ourselves, the inner-world.
I wrote this song when I realized I was experiencing a form of toxicity through the attachments I was creating with the outer-world. I felt my attention and energy being drained, but the emotional attachment(s) I created with people, objects and experiences was so strong it brought me comfort. Letting go was not going to be easy, but it was necessary to detach myself from the unhealthy bonds of the outer-world so I could create and focus on the healthier bonds within my inner-world.
I learned that in order to restore my energy, I needed to count my blessings & live in the present moment. This is the only way to ground myself and always brings me clarity and peace.
Choosing to redirect my focus and attention, meant I could take back my power.

I was deeply inspired by my Palestinian roots for the production of this record and Dabke music that I wanted to incorporate parts of my identity and culture into the production using Arabic drumming alongside melodies carrying this uplifting bold dance energy that brings this story to life.
It’s the “I Choose Myself” era I hope you choose you!

This record is so special to me, from working on production with @pronouncedlucas & have it be inspired by my Arabic culture, to then deciphering my mind and heart and putting that all in the writing, creative directing the cover art and telling the story, it's one of my favorite records and I hope you feel it as much as I do.

Lyrics: My mind above the water I be gazing at you These clouds pass by And I’m thinking in my mind If the world had a clue How I feel inside Sometimes I brake and think about the feeling What you mean to me And nobody wanna reap the things you teach em And you may be right Picking up myself these days I’m runnin from a storm Thinking of the blessings That be pouring from above If I were to stray away I’d show you what I lost I got everything I need I traveled over seas I gotta go live it, can’t be focused on what’s missing Maybe I could run a little soak in the feeling It didn’t feel as real as it was And until then I’m chasing this rush, Every other season Things be changing And I just be healing What is really the meaning ? To be living inside of the dark ? Sometimes I be just chasing a spark And because of that I changed my heart And until then Im looking above (Looking above) My mind above the water I be gazing at you These clouds pass by And I’m thinking in my mind If the world had a clue How I feel inside Sometimes I brake and think about the feeling What you mean to me And nobody wanna reap the things you teach em you may be right
"Guidance” tells the story of finding the loop holes in society, and going through life with awareness. At times we feel like we follow things so blindly, because someone “told us to” and “thats how things are”. In this visual, Neemz showcases the moments where she begins to question, and begins to feel guided. She trusts the journey to see it all the way through and with that at times she can be pushed away from jobs and friends. She realizes that in order to awaken others, she needed to awaken herself.
Neemz challenges herself and her audience to step out of their cycles and move more intentionally by being present on their journey, to question and to follow their calling.
Its okay that things shift, sometimes you will lose things to gain something better.

When you focus on the love, things feel lighter in your heart and all of your doubts and fearful thinking fade away.
Creative Director: Neemz & Waqas Production/Director: Waqas Stylist: NeemzNeemz - I Tried (Official Visualizer)Neemz2021-12-03 | “I Tried” addresses the drained energy, the infinite chances you give others & the low spirits that come from keeping others around hoping that they’ll change. It’s a moment of giving up but also a moment where I was renewing the intentions of seeking real love. I’ve tried to place myself in others shoes to only find out that it left me with real life truths of what wasn’t good for me. We all have been here before where we empathized with souls to give them the benefit of doubt. At the end of the day the truth hurts but we can’t block the greater blessings that are waiting for us.

I was coming to terms with a lot of emotions, feelings, & things that no longer served me. Fear no longer served me, negative thinking no longer served me, self doubt no longer served me, jealous & envious people no longer served me, people trying to tell me what to do, no longer served me, anxiety no longer served me. It’s above me is a term to say I’m over it, that these things are out of my control, they have either happened, or are happening. It’s [all] Above Me. I took so much time away from a lot, I needed to go through it in order to come out with a better understanding of myself, and a better comprehension of the vision I was chasing. I’m still navigating through this journey & still healing, still trying to see the positive. I’m grateful to have you guys apart of it. Thank you for giving my art a chance.
