Our Time by Natty Reeves
Brighton-based multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer Natty Reeves returns with his brand new album ‘Our Time’.
After taking a short break from writing and producing following the release of his 2019 debut album ‘Condition’, Natty has returned with an appetising new album showcasing a new direction in his music and leaning his attention towards a further developed instrumental-focused sound embedded further into the UK Jazz scene. ‘Our Time’ see Reeves level up his production and bring in some helping hands across the project from an array of the UK’s thriving jazz scene talents, such as Charlie Allen, Poppy Daniels, Ben Vize, Matt Wilde, Jackson Mathod & Dutch producer and multi-instrumentalist, Marnix de Haus.
On the album’s opener, ‘5:23am’ we’re hit straight from the off with Natty’s layered and well-known rich textures of melodies and groove-heavy drums to amplify his newly developed sound whilst Marnix De Haus delivers highly appetising keys throughout that add the finishing touch to an exciting beginning of a delightful and powerful new body of work. For the album’s second course, ‘Snakes in the Grass’, Natty brings in rising UK trumpeter Poppy Daniels who presents some flavoursome horns throughout, complimenting Natty’s signature production and intricate guitar-play.
‘Lilac’, the final single taken from ‘Our Time’, sets up the remainder of the album beautiful, and sees the introduction of Charlie Allen and trumpeter Jackson Mathod, the latter delivering vibrant melodies throughout, whilst Charlie Allen effortlessly delivers some enchanting guitar tones which compliment the entirety of the song to perfection. ‘Our Time’ is a shining illustration to Natty’s ascending growth as an artist and producer, taking listeners on a mouth-watering journey of his best work to date.
