“Since her 2016 debut, For All We Know, London singer-songwriter Neo Jessica Joshua, AKA Nao, has made gossamer-light R&B that soars on the power of her distinctive high-lying voice. Grammy award- and Mercury prize-nominated for her electronic-influenced second album, Saturn (2018), and finding joy post-Covid on 2021’s acoustic-leaning And Then Life Was Beautiful, Nao’s output in the four years sin”
“Contentment surrounds Nao’s fourth album, ‘Jupiter’, aptly named after the planet of growth and joy. The record captures the angel-voiced singer returning to centre after a period of tumult surrounding her last two albums, 2018’s ‘Saturn’ and 2021’s ‘And Then Life Was Beautiful’. While those projects weren’t gloomy by any means – Nao’s otherworldly voice imbues much of her work with warmth and rad”
“The British singer’s fourth LP is a light, uplifting journey through R&B and nu-disco that lands on some thin cosmic metaphors.”
