NECTAR WOODE - NATURALLY (MIXTAPE)

In time to brighten our summer even further, Nectar Woode releases project Naturally released 26 June. The nine-track mixtape finds Nectar looking inward and outward in equal measure, exploring themes of self-love, growth and acceptance. Among its standout moments is a special guest appearance from Elton John, whose recent collaboration on track ‘Wine into Water’ offers a luxurious glimmer of the creative chemistry between the two artists.

After kicking off the year with BBC Radio 1 Hottest Record ‘Lights Off’, Nectar has continued to build momentum at an impressive pace. The single arrived in January and was quickly followed by a special BRITs Week appearance alongside Olivia Dean, before the singer-songwriter embarked on a completely sold-out headline tour in May, opening at London’s renowned Jazz Café.

The past 12 months have marked a significant chapter in Nectar’s ascent. From a sold-out headline show at London’s Village Underground to supporting Joy Crookes across her UK and European tour dates, she has steadily established herself as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging voices. Add to that a celebrated debut on Later… with Jools Holland and it’s clear Nectar’s smooth vocals and evocative lyrics organically pull listeners into her sonic journey.

With a rapidly growing fanbase, October will see her return to the road for a UK headline tour, culminating with a landmark show at London’s iconic KOKO.
