Nao has announced the release of her fourth album ‘Jupiter ’ . The album, Nao’s first since 2021 collection ‘ And Then Life Was Beautiful ‘, features prelude singles ‘ Wildflower s ‘ and the recently-released ‘ Elevate ‘, which she co-wrote with Dayyon Alexander and Nate Cyphert. Produced by longtime collaborator Stint , ‘Elevate’, particularly captures the bombastic RnB-pop pedigree Nao first made her own with debut LP, ‘ For All We Kno w ‘.
Nao’s new era centres themes of love, the fruits of motherhood and spiritual transformation. In her own words: “ ‘Jupiter is joyful; it’s the planet of growth, expansion and personal transformation. I wanted to make a record that embodied all of these things so that hopefully when you listen to it you’ll feel a beautiful shift in your own vibration of joy .
” To celebrate her return to music, Nao performed in Los Angeles last week and will continue with a series of intimate, sold-out shows across New York, Amsterdam and a special night at Hackney’s Round Chapel in London. ‘Jupiter’ is out February 21st. In the meantime, listen to ‘Elevate’ below.
