NAO IT'S YOU

We genuinely can't think of a single time we've been disappointed by a release from Londoner NAO. From her early collaborations with Jai Paul's bro, A.K. down to the recent February 15, each new pogoing R&B track has stood up against the last, and her latest cut, 'It's You', is no exception. Opening up with an arpeggio akin to the drip-drip of running water, 'It's You' soon becomes a beautifully warped bassy number jewelled with NAO's idiosyncratic elastic vocal style. It may not carry a blatant hook, in the way that 'So Good' does, but there's a subtle infectiousness to this one; like we said, she can do no wrong in our eyes. February 15 is out now via Little Tokyo Recordings. - DC
