Album Review: Nattali Rize And Notis - New Era Frequency

StarStarStarHalf Star

This is Rize's first release without her previous band Blue King Brown

Australian reggae singer Nattali Rize has collaborated with Jamaican production team and backing band Notis on this nine-track EP featuring six songs and three dub remixes.

This is Rize's first release without her previous band Blue King Brown, and her music comes across with a renewed focus. The rhythms are tighter and the production more direct, though with the same emphasis on songs with hooks. On single Rebel Love she goes for a straight-up love song, but if you're looking for your dose of conscious music, Rize's lyrics are as political as ever. One love.
