The debut album from Nathan Thomas is a stunning collection of genuine, sincere songs with deep, soulful and jazz based hip-hop productions from Futuristica’s Marc Rapson and Simon S.
Nathan’s beautifully pure vocals are a natural fit with the tight, soulfulness of Rapson’s production and Simon’s dirty filtered jazz sonics. Nathan explores his own personal battles with bravery, an unpretentious honesty and on occasion, lays his soul completely bare.
Nathan is also an Ivor Novello nominated and published songwriter with Universal Music Publishing, having co-written 2 UK top ten hits and produced music for film, radio and TV.
Over the past few years Nathan has branched out into many other areas of the music industry and was featured vocalist on Rapson ‘Heat’ for Defected Records, which was championed by Radio One and many others throughout clubs worldwide.
He has also recently co-written releases for independent artists Janet Devlin and Deborah Jordan.
Nathan Thomas delivers a professionally composed and crafted set that weaves its way through the emotions of soul and jazz before planting itself firmly in the forward thinking production of today. The opening salvo 'Resilience' confidently enters Amp Fiddler territory and is the lynch pin for the journey that's about to unfold.
'Peacmakers' is a future anthem, from composition to delivery, to the on-point lyrics. Perfectly produced with layers that keep on building....this is nu-age soul at its finest.
The confidence shines throughout, from the stripped back jazz of 'Winters', to the beautiful almost nod-to-the-90's sample driven 'Civil War'.
The final three tunes offer the aggressive mixed with the tender side of Mr Thomas. A gift many try to achieve, but few truly succeed.
This is an LP that runs the gamut, that's a moodswing delivered by confident players.....not just the lead vocals but the production crew that crafted such amazing beats.
Futuristica Music is saving 2020 one release at a time.... and God bless them for it.

Big love to Simon & Deborah at Futuristica for a bigger vision than my own, beautifully challenging and deep music, inspiration and banana cake.

Georgie’s voice has the depth, energy and expression of an already established artist. Awesome production/keys, beats and bass supports this vocal talent with a precision rare for a first album venture. So beautifully balanced this album looks to be a gem in anyone’s collection, another great work from Futuristica Music. alastair marriott / DjSquirrel
