Taking a step back from the self-flagellation of her previous single, “Breakup Sex” in favor of gentler recollection and subdued bravado, NERIAH’s songwriting ability sharpens with each track. Coming off of the release of her debut EP, This is How The World Made Me NERIAH is channeling her natural-born need for storytelling by continuing to vulnerably share her innermost thoughts through song. ‘Unfinished Business” is no exception, being an intimate offering that has already touched millions with a snippet of it going viral on Tik Tok
NERAH’s previous singles saw a World First premiere on Zane Lowe’s World Record show, sat on the cover of Spotify’s Fresh Finds Pop playlist, and have helped her surpass 535k monthly Spotify listeners. She also just headlined a sold-out show at the iconic Troubadour, a nod to her inspiration and ongoing love affair with her hometown of Los Angeles. Starting songwriting at age 5 and never stopping since, NERIAH’s recent successes have led up to this single being one of her most mature and cherished yet.
“It’s always a shocking experience to feel like you know someone so intimately, but then once you part ways you fall right back into being strangers again. Unfortunately, we don’t always get the closure we need during a breakup. Sometimes the previous chapter of the shared parts of your lives are not quite closed. Maybe you’ll almost make it to the anniversary of a relationship, or maybe it will end abruptly and earlier than expected, leaving you with a lot of unfinished business.”
