Naomi Sharon Drops “Miss That” And It’s a Statement

Today, OVO Sound’s first lady just raised the bar.

Naomi Sharon returns with “Miss That,” a groove-heavy, emotionally layered anthem that feels like the official ignition of a bold new chapter. It’s confident, magnetic, and effortlessly cool, the kind of record that doesn’t beg for attention but commands it. From the very first beat, you can hear an artist fully in control of her vision, sharpening her sound while expanding it at the same time.

Produced by Jordan Ullman of Majid Jordan and written alongside Blush, “Miss That” stretches beyond traditional R&B. It pulses with dancehall rhythm, flirts with club-ready EDM textures, and glides with sleek, late-night energy. The production feels kinetic, built for movement while still leaving space for intimacy. Sharon’s deep, resonant alto anchors it all, delivering a hypnotic refrain that lingers long after the song fades out.

There’s also a subtle touch of nostalgia woven into the DNA of the track. By sampling Chicago’s timeless ballad “If You Leave Me Now,” with composition credit to Peter Cetera, she bridges eras in a way that feels intentional and elevated. The emotional weight of the original blends seamlessly with her modern, progressive R&B edge, heartbreak reimagined for dim lights and crowded dance floors.

And because Naomi Sharon understands that music is culture, not just sound, the rollout matched the energy. She debuted “Miss That” during New York Fashion Week at the Telfar store in SoHo, a fitting collaboration between two creative forces that thrive on bold identity and uncompromising vision. The single artwork, shot by acclaimed photographer Hugo Comte, mirrors that aesthetic precision: sharp, minimal, and strikingly modern.

The timing couldn’t be more powerful. The release arrives ahead of her appearance at the prestigious Edison Awards, where her EP The Only Love We Know is nominated for Best Soul/R&B/Funk Album/EP. It’s another milestone in a steady climb that has been impossible to ignore.

Since making history as the first female artist signed to Drake’s OVO Sound, she has carved out a space that feels entirely her own, blending alternative R&B, neo-soul, and electronic textures rooted in her Dutch and Caribbean heritage. From her debut album,m Obsidian, to her live recording at Amsterdam’s legendary Paradiso, and her U.S. run opening for Tems, every move has signaled growth, intention, and global ambition.

“Miss That” isn’t just another single; it feels like a statement. It’s the lead offering from her forthcoming album, and if this is the sonic direction she’s heading in, 2026 might very well belong to her.
