A friend of mine in London sent me a text just an hour or so before the Lianne La Havas concert saying that she knew her backing vocalist, Frida Touray, and then she sent me a streaming link for some band called Native Dancer. I was on my way out the door at the time, so I didn't have time to click on the link to figure out what it had to do with her previous text. Later that evening, I spoke briefly with Frida (whose vocals were sick and technically flawless), and as we were talking she tells me that her band's name is Native Dancer. Ah ha! When I got home that evening I immediately listened to the entire EP, simply entitled EP Vol. 1, at least three times before I went to bed. Oh my Jesus! They're the bomb.net!

Based in London, the members of the band are Ms. Touray, Jonathan Harvey, Sam Crowe, Josh Arcoleo and Ulysses. Their songs blend pop, soul, electro-funk and jazz. If you are into Thundercat, Lalah Hathaway, Robert Glasper Experiment, Amel Larrieux, KING or pretty much any amazingly innovative urban artist, you will definitely love them. Don't just take my word for it, though, listen for yourself right here. After you too fall for EP Vol. 1, you can purchase it immediately on Bandcamp and keep up with the self-described "sonic explorers" Native Dancer on Facebook, Twitter and SoundCloud.
