Nat Slater is bringing the Candy Rain
Rising R&B/Pop starlet Nat Slater starts the new year with a bang with her latest offering “My Candy Rain”, the first release from her forthcoming debut EP.
Produced by LA based, chart-topping producer and multi-instrumentalist Oren Yoel, [Miley Cyrus, XXXTentacion] the pair are calling the track ‘G&B’ - a new genre that combines the R&B Nat grew up listening to with her London Garage roots passed down from her mum who featured on Garage classics with the likes of Artful Dodger and Smokin Beats. Dreamy synths lay the foundation for Nat’s signature vocals as the track opens with the hook from the original “Candy Rain” by 90’s NY group Soul for Real. The strands form a perfect blend of infectious melodies with a fresh take on nostalgic-looking production.
Speaking on the track Nat states: “I wanted to bring my two worlds together, I love experimenting and just having fun in the studio! Working with Oren was so dope he just has the best energy.”
London-born Nat started off her music career at just 15, playing open mic nights across the city. Gaining swift acclaim from the likes of WONDERLAND, CLASH and KISS FM the fast-rising newcomer is taking the scene in her stride, now spending her time between London and LA working closely with producer favourites Oscar Schellar (Pink Pantheress), Monro (Jhene Aiko) and Mark Hill (Artful Dodger, Craig David).
With more music set for release this year, “My Candy Rain” will no doubt continue the growing attention around the young talent. A new name in R&B/ Pop has arrived.
