And Then Life Was Beautiful - Nao (Vinyl) (BD)

This is a vinyl LP pressing And Then Life Was Beautiful by Nao. After her most recent hit Messy Love, which received huge praise from tastemakers, NAO finally releases her highly anticipated, third studio album And Then Life Was Beautiful, the follow-up from her critically acclaimed, Mercury Prize and Grammy-nominated album Saturn. While her previous project propelled the singer-songwriter into a new stratosphere with its cosmic, coming-of-age themes, the songstress is now entering a brand new chapter with And Then Life Was Beautiful - where ‘Saturn’ untangled the knots of late twenties soul-searching, And Then Life Was Beautiful goes a step further by setting out a clarified sense of purpose.

Now a mother of a young daughter, NAO is more confident in herself and her voice than ever. A pandemic album, written and recorded throughout never-ending lockdowns, the project celebrates life’s ups and downs, reaching out a hand to guide listeners through what hurdles may confront them next. It includes previously released tracks Antidote, featuring Nigerian superstar Adekunle Gold, Woman, featuring Lianne La Havas, which she recorded with her newborn daughter strapped lovingly to her chest, as well as Messy Love, a stunning offering loaded with strummed guitar grooves and drum rhythms rooted in 90s R&B.
