LIST PICK

NATALIE MCCOOL A SUN GOING DOWN

Natalie McCool’s latest track was written and recorded just before lockdown, but is a much more personal record than the expected pandemic-lament. ‘A Sun Going Down’ is “about my personal mindset and feelings,” she explains. “It’s about the dawning of intuition, a slow but staggering realisation that you don’t need a person, and the finality of walking forward without them.” The track, lifted from her upcoming album, is vibrant and warm. It owes as much to the wash of thick synths that fill the texture as it does her own effortlessly melodic vocal display. -Dan Peeke
