Nao teams up with 6LACK for her new track “If You Ever.” The song was co-written and co-produced by Mura Masa. Nao and 6LACK connect on one of this year’s most exciting collaborations, combining their unique energies and mesmerizing vocals to produce a truly unforgettable track which launches the journey that is Saturn.
In a recent interview, Nao talks about the new project. “My friends kept telling me about the term ‘Saturn Returns,’” says Nao. “It’s this idea that Saturn takes 29 years to orbit from when you’re born and it is the planet of blessings and growth. So by the time you’re around 29, between 27 and 32, something big happens in your life. It’s like waking up and coming of age, like: ‘I’ve been going through my twenties and what have I been doing in this relationship?’ What have I been doing in this job?’ You start to rethink everything – old stuff that your parents taught you or ideas that you believed in. It’s like a complete shedding of skin and it can be painful.”
Nao will also embark on her highly-anticipated world tour. Starting off in Japan, she will then go on to perform in North America and Europe, concluding with a show in London’s Brixton Academy on March 28th.
