Nao: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

March 18, 2019 | Sidney Madden -- In astrology, your Saturn return is the time in life when Saturn goes back to the same spot it was at the time of your birth. As Nao explained during her appearance at NPR's Tiny Desk, "It's about leaving adolescence and going into adulthood." This crossing of the threshold that happens around your late 20s to early 30s is the inspiration for Saturn, Nao's sophomore effort and one of 2018's best albums. When the U.K. singer-songwriter brought her band and cosmic energy to the Tiny Desk - sneaking in her 2015 breakthrough track, "Bad Blood," alongside Saturn standouts - the strength and conviction of her performance had fans in the office strapped in for the emotional ride.
While Nao usually performs with synthy, electronic twinkles, her day at the Tiny Desk was stripped down by comparison. At times, her lyrics ring out with just a sparse guitar to carry them. Like a roller coaster of unexpected upheaval, Nao's distinctive vocal range on this four-song set goes from bellowing and husky to soft and coy, often within the same verse. Be it the breezy, Brazilian funk of "If You Ever," the hallowed harmony of "Orbit" (complete with prayer hands) or the valiant soul-searching of "Make It Out Alive," it's almost as if Nao duets with herself, answering her own questions, settling into her own quirks.
Saturn return can be marked with new responsibilities, confusion and poison-thorned serendipity. But by creating astral, intentional music through her growing pains, Nao ended up grounding herself.
Set List
"If You Ever"
"Bad Blood"
"Orbit"
"Make It Out Alive"
Musicians
Nao: lead vocal; Ariel O'Neal: guitar; Joe Price: keys; Henry Guy: bass; Samson Jatto: drums; Troi Lauren: vocals; Taylor Samuels: vocals

Same! I found her from a commercial or something and I was so afraid to look her up on KZbin and have the dream shattered.

I love that so many RnB and soul artists are integrating astrology into their songwriting practices. Taking back power through esoteric, metaphysical, and spiritual practice. That’s real soul ❤️💋🕊🌛💫🌏✨

[@olivegoddess1]

Black people founded the peace and love movement before the hippies usurped it. They have been the authentic ones, merging peace, love, spiritual practice, and music from the beginning. This new wave of RnB is just another part of this grander cycle. Dave Chapelle is right that African Americans have always been the ones to make America better, truly solution oriented and just wanting fairness and peace.
