Nao - For All We Know
Nao - For All We Know
OK, this is getting silly. Just yesterday I was blathering about the flood of excellent soul and R&B releases we've been getting this year, and I was brash enough to crown Jamila Woods's HEAVN as the best of all.
Well here comes Nao to challenge that notion. She put out an excellent EP last year, and this is an even better full-length. I'm tempted to use the word masterpiece.
Nao takes the recent resurgence of synth-infused R&B and makes it her own: using her smoothly delicate, and yet impassioned vocals as counterpoint to some wonky-esque electronic textures.
And as far as songs go, this album knocks it out of the park at every opportunity. There isn't a single dud, not even close. Honestly, the highlights below are a bit of a formality, those could be any three songs.
Very strongly recommended.

Highlights: Get To Know Ya • In The Morning • We Don't Give A
