Just a few weeks ago we were wondering when songstress NAO was going to bless us with an album title and release date for her sophomore collection, and now our wishes have been granted. The songstress just announced that her highly-anticipated album, Saturn, will be in our hands on October 26th and we've already marked our calendars.
To sweeten the deal, she's also giving us a world tour so fans near and far can experience the new tracks and joints from her debut album, For All We Know. The tour begins officially in December, getting a running start in Japan, before hopping to North America and Europe in 2019. She concludes the tour in March of next year with a final show at London's Brixton Academy.
NAO gave us a taste of the new album when she released her latest track "Make It Out Alive" with SiR. About the new project, NAO said in a press release, "My friends kept telling me about the term 'Saturn Returns.' It's this idea that Saturn takes 29 years to orbit from when you're born and it is the planet of blessings and growth. So by the time you're around 29, between 27 and 32, something big happens in your life. It's like waking up and coming of age, like: "I've been going through my twenties and what have I been doing in this relationship?" What have I been doing in this job?" You start to rethink everything – old stuff that your parents taught you or ideas that you believed in. It's like a complete shedding of skin and it can be painful," she says.
We're sure she has a lot to say on her sophomore album, which along with SiR also features Kwabs and is available for pre-order from your favorite digital retailer. Check out the tracklist for Saturn below and see if NAO has a tour date near you when you keep scrolling down.
