For soul-reggae artist Natty, music isn't just pleasure, it is also a healing power
The London- raised singer- songwriter has been on a remarkable journey of creative and personal discovery in recent years, moving his partner and children to rural Jamaica to live off-grid and off the land, while delving deep into studies on music's mental and physiological properties.
The result of this journeying is Natty's expansive, fourth album, The Divine Trinity. Across nine tracks he employs his trademark vocal power and uplifting melodies to explore everything from earthy funk grooves to guitar- strummed yearning, emphatic spoken word entreaties and spacious, dubbed-out reggae.
Partnering with his longtime band The Rebelship once more, Natty also expands his reggae-infuenced sound through the instrumental frequencies of South Asian tablas, Zimbabwean mbira and wooden futes. "There's so much that I've never done before in this record," he explains. "We have a song in 5/4, inspired by my time learning music in Zimbabwe, as well as sound bowls, the song of the crickets from the land we live on in Jamaica and hand drums from all over. Its ancient frequencies combined with classic songwriting, allowing people to tune into the power of music."
