Mimi Naja has shared “Coin In My Pocket”, the second single off her forthcoming solo EP, Nothing Has Changed. Available on April 2nd, the five-track collection comes as the Fruition multi-instrumentalist’s sophomore solo release.
In “Coin In My Pocket”, Naja addresses her recent entry into recovery for substance abuse. According to a press release, as COVID-19 ravaged the world Naja found solace in entering a substance treatment program and has been sober since April 2020. The titular “Coin In My Pocket” refers to the chip given out by Alcoholics Anonymous to commemorate her length of sobriety.

While this is far from the first song ever written about sobriety, Naja’s outlook on the subject is uplifting. The bouncy, happy-go-lucky nature of “Coin In My Pocket” focuses on the enhanced outlook that comes with long-term sobriety as the world appears in clearer colors. Rather than dwelling on the mistakes of the past, Naja instead looks forward to the path ahead, walking along with that “Coin In My Pocket”.
