Hackney’s Nao has been working as a musician with those such as Kwabs, but this year she stepped into the foreground as a singer-songwriter, with nationwide support slots for Little Dragon.
Featuring production from brother-of-Jai, A.K. Paul (yet vocals that sound, mysteriously, so much like those on Jai Paul’s own output?) So Good, the title track of her debut EP, sees Nao developing her seductive wheeze from earlier release ‘Back Porch’, while ‘Good Girl’ glitters with layers of vocals interspersed with mechanical beats.
