NAO “For All We Know”
New York, New York – “For All We Know”= The prelude to all assertions that a subject is willing to entertain and confirm to the most far-fetched suspicion. Well to shed light on what I do know, International R&B artist NAO confirms my assumptions of absolute brilliance with the release of her anticipated album “For All We Know”! Regarded as one of the most prolific musicians to come on the scene in recent years, NAO introduces a Jazz induced slice of deliciousness embedded on a bed of listening bliss! Can you dig it? A unique blend of everything you want, sprinkled with a pinch of what you need. Nao fills the void with this timeless jewel!
The British-born singer/songwriter from East London embodies a rich background in the arts. As a jazz student, she performed as a backup singer for Jarvis Cocker! From ghostwriting, to singing in the all-girl a cappella group The Boxettes, NAO took to nurturing her songwriting skills for hopes of THE opportunity. However, in 2014 the opportunity arose and NAO obliged by releasing her first solo EP, “So Good”, which reached number 4 on the iTunes electronic charts. The success of the “So Good” project propelled the reserved singer into a bonafide star, giving birth to the present……. NAO’s “For All We Know”
The album “For All We Know” is produced by what many would consider the creme de la crop of electronic producers; includes the likes of hit makers Jungle,Royce Wood Junior, A.K. Paul, and Grade. The cohesiveness of artist vs. producer proved vital in creating the robust blend of electric funk and vocal complexity.
“For All We Know” is a true musicians record! To further put Nao’s Album under the microscope would entail the skill of a trained ear! The novice listener may mistake the musical perfection, for the so-called Malachy we hear blasting on mainstream radio today! ~ Renzo
The lead single “Girlfriend’, released earlier this year serves as the appetizer for the main course! “Girlfriend” features Nao’s piercing falsetto-laced with on time synths provided by GRADES and Stint. A narrative picture of what could have been – dangling in suspense of what’s reality! A highly seductive tune that displays a confidence and bravado in Nao’s distinctive vocals. From the opening “Intro (Like Velvet)” to “Feels Like (Perfume)“, the 18 track Album pushes the wheel of excellence without restraints! For example, let’s use the track “DYWM” (short for “Do You Want Me”) to strengthen our argument for the albums validity! A surprisingly, pleasant guitar infused track embedded with a feel good vibe.
Labeled as two of the more energetic tracks , “Happy” and “Fool To Love” feature uptempo break-beats adding sugar, spice, and everything nice! The same could be said for the album’s power track, “In The Morning,” which solidifies Nao’s strong vocals! With features from A.K. Paul on “Trophy” and Abhi Dijon on “Adore You”, one can be ensured of the album great consistency!
I could go on and on for hours; however, the longer you’re reading this review, only increases the delay in purchasing the cd! Take my word for it, “Purchase the For All We Know Album, it’s a sure shot!”
For All We Know definitely ranks among the greats when it comes to a complete body of work! A well put together composition of great songwriting, dynamite productions, and charismatic persona which personifies NAO’s personal patent to greatness! Great Album – Renzo
