Out literally a few hours ago it's Nathaniel Paul with his new single, "The Girl with No Tattoo". The new single is the singer-songwriter's first since his "It's All Blue" single came out back in July of 2024, and it sounds like he's gearing up for another year of success.
... a dreamy, synth-kissed indie gem - mellow yet addictive
The dreamy tones on offer here are great for the ears, there's a small addition of synth keys dotted around the track, and some hazy vocals that wouldn't be out of place on a Swim Deep track. It's a very mellow affair with a slight danceability about it, it's probably the angular guitar plonks mixed in with the percussion that did it for me. Addictive and yet subtle about it, Nathaniel Paul has seemingly written a track that can latch new fans as well as old fans.
