Nao has released a new single.
Woman finds her teaming up with Lianne La Havas for a breezy yet funky track with empowering lyrics. It was produced by Loxe (aka Rowan Perkins) and mixed by Manon Grandjean, the female engineer behind Dave’s album 'Psychodrama' and Stormzy's 'Heavy is the Head'. In a statement, Nao said:
