Nanna.B “Beaches”
As we continue to pay homage to goddesses everywhere, we take a pit-stop in Denmark; Copenhagen to be exact.
Nanna.B is homies with the guys from Mutual Intentions, the Oslo-based label/family who blessed us with tastefully seasoned grooves last November. And her output has also been a favoured destination for some of the BR cohort over the last couple of months; a heady collection of moonlit, experimental soul, jazz-tinged ooo-la-la’s and VHS funk (via Mndsgn).
“Beaches” is the first track to emerge from her self-produced EP, LAPIS — fittingly titled as an ode to femininity. Vulnerable and beautifully stripped back, the track’s skeletal instrumentation propel Nanna’s vocals in to the front seat. A delicate, yet firm introduction to what’s to come.
LAPIS acts as a stop-gap project as she readies her full-length album with productions by Anderson .Paak, Mndsgn, Iman Omari and Shafiq Husayn among others. Get familiar.
