For All We Know

Nao

Neo-soul meets electronic techniques on this debut, resulting in a sound that feels both modern and rooted in R&B tradition. The addition of spoken audio clips between songs gives the project an intimate, lo-fi quality that breaks up the refined, professional atmosphere.

Bright synthesizers and jittery beats form the base for singing that manages to be both fragile and assertive. It stands as a clear example of British soul from the mid-2010s, mixing layered textures with danceable, groove-focused songwriting.
