natty reeves: our time
Francisco Espregueira
Stepping away from the singer-songwriting role showcased in his past releases, Natty Reeves is about to drop a new album, focusing on the instrumental side of the things. Following recent projects Solar//Fall & Change//Perspective, Our Time is a sublime seven track record that navigates through tranquil waters of contemporary jazz music and instrumental hip hop. It’s a peaceful, sensitive and organic affair, that sees Reeves level up on his production skills, inviting an array of the UK’s thriving jazz scene talents, such as Charlie Allen, Poppy Daniels, Ben Vize, Matt Wilde and Jackson Mathod.
Hailing from Bristol, Natty Reeves’ music draws from real-life events and human interactions, with a song-writing style that is simple but potent, often cutting straight to the core of an emotion with a single turn of phrase. His rich textures of melodies and groove-heavy drums amplify a newly developed compositions that show growth within his production and his music as an artist. With a fruitful collaborative spirit, Reeves is able to deliver an album that touches the right spots. Our Time is a delightful and powerful record, available on Bandcamp, via DeepMatter.
