She was tipped as one of NME’s ‘Big 10’ ones to watch for 2021 – and now, Marie Naffah makes her Selfie Sessions debut.
Meet Marie Naffah. She’s a singer and songwriter from London and she makes the kind of multi-layered, gentle, and intricate pop music that’ll keep you warm through these long, cold winter nights.

She’s good, isn’t she? Well, we think she is. So good, in fact, that we couldn’t resist asking her to kick off her 2022 by making her Selfie Sessions debut.
The track that Marie has chosen to perform is called ‘Honey & Air’, and it’s a double-edged pop song that exists in two – yes, two – different recorded forms.
Conceived as two different versions of the same song, ‘Honey’ & ‘Air’ are lyrically identical but sonically worlds apart. First came ‘Honey’, a feel-good, upbeat slice of dream-pop – but switching up the vibe completely is ‘Air’, a soulful, stripped-back ballad with Marie’s captivatingly sultry vocals taking center stage.
