natalie slade: control
Francisco Espregueira
Hailing from the vibrant and diverse Australian music scene, we introduce Natalie Slade, a neo-soul powerhouse possessing a timeless vocal ability, whose debut as a solo artist, Control, dropped last friday via Eglo Records. Produced by Hiatus Kaiyote keyboardist, Simon Mavin, and featuring contributions from other members of the group, the record is overflowing with complex, earthy sounds that grow richer on each listen.
The partnership with Mavin, whose instrumentation is rich and lively, produces a kaleidoscopic reimagining of sounds and styles beautifully performed by Slade - poetic, enchanting, weightless. Control is a fresh and energetic approach to a long tradition of soul / r&b LP’s. Vinyls available.
