Naomi Westlake

In the artist's words:

Between Club Nights and World-Weariness: Off-Pop from Berlin

Born in London, raised in a village in southern Germany, she eventually moved to Berlin—and there became the artist she is today. Naomi Westlake makes electronic off-pop that feels like the hour after a night out at the club: a little lost, a little euphoric, and with the feeling that the world is just too much right now. Melancholic, driving, honest.

From Freiburg to Berlin: An Artist Finds Her Sound

Naomi grew up near Freiburg—and eventually realized that the village was too small for what she had in mind. So she moved to Berlin. There she met producer Qlan, and together they developed a sound that’s hard to pigeonhole: Off-pop, which weaves together tech-house, hyper-pop, and reggaeton beats, paired with lyrics that dissect social contradictions without sacrificing danceability. Melancholic and danceable at the same time. Rich in contrast. Alittlebitlost.

This is what Naomi Westlake sounds like: driving, futuristic, deep

Naomi’s music is reminiscent of Charli XCX, Fred Again, or Billie Eilish—but it never sounds like a copy; rather, it offers her own perspective on the world. Her songs blend pulsating bass with German and English lyrics that explore youth culture, escapism, and the feeling of finding a place in a world full of uncertainty. The atmosphere: somewhere between the dance floor and 4 a.m. musings.

The releases: from “skinny dipping” to “La La Land”

Since her first singles, Naomi Westlake has continued to evolve. With “skinny dipping” (2023) and “halt mich auf” (2024), she laid the foundation for her sound. In 2025, “200 km/h” was released —driving, fast, just as the title promises—and “Für immer stars, ” her first foray into rap: a drum & bass-influenced track that combines self-confidence and cool detachment with lines like “Wear Ed Hardy instead of Prada.” "2k16//capriKid" followed in 2026. All songs are available on Spotify.
