I Just Heard Nao's "Another Lifetime" And I've Decided To Stan

Forgive me for my ignorance, although I've just become aware of British singer-songwriter Nao, right as she starts a new era today with her single "Another Lifetime."


a fast herstory lesson: Nao released her debut album, For All We Know, in 2016 and was nominated for Best British Female Solo Artist at the BRIT Awards last year. Her self-described "wonky funk" sound is synthy meets smooth, a vibe I completely needed to hear. Nao's fanbase has been eagerly awaiting any hint of a sophomore release, and their queen has finally delivered.


"Another Lifetime" still has that "wonky funk" sound that Nao's known for, nevertheless it feels even more stripped down. She told The FADER that the song is about the messy closure of a relationship, "finding peace with 'the end' and what that insinuates on a number of levels." The song itself has completely sold me, although the music video (also released today) does its message even more justice. Check out "Another Lifetime" in all its musical and visual aesthetics below, and join me in standom.
