. With addictive beats, catchy hooks and stunning vocal .
. performances, “The Rising” marks Natural Self’s triumphant .
. return to Tru Thoughts. .
. .
. From the first note, “The Rising” drops you straight into .
. the centre of a sonic melee. The powerful, chanted chorus, .
. featuring Nathaniel Pearn (aka Natural Self) on vocal .
. duties, gives way to lead vocals written and performed by .
. the eminent soul singer Andreya Triana, with an impossibly .
. tasty, heavy-hitting hip hop beat (with a dubstep lilt and .
. some cheeky snares in there for good measure) driving .
. straight through the middle. Andreya Triana, definitely .
. one to watch, was one of only 60 musicians worldwide to be .
. selected for the 2006 Red Bull Music Academy and is now .
. co-producing her first self-penned album with Bonobo. .
. The punchy horn stabs which permeate “The Rising” give a .
. taste of the old-school funk music that has played such a .
. consistently important role in Natural Self’s musical .
. inspiration, and call to mind some of his earlier work for .
. Tru Thoughts, such as his collaborations with Alice .
. Russell. The A side of this 12” also features instrumental .
. and a capella versions of “The Rising”, which both stand .
. up as quality cuts in their own right. .
. .
. Natural Self has previously received acclaim for the 2006 .
. album “Gravity” by The Broken Keys, his collaborative .
. project with Nostalgia 77 on Tru Thoughts, on which he .
. also made his first foray into singing. His debut solo .
. album was released on Breakin’ Bread Records in the same .
. year. This new single marks another move onwards in the .
. continual development of Natural Self’s music. As a DJ, .
. Natural Self has travelled around the UK and Europe .
. extensively and his style has come to take inspiration .
. from Latin and African music to add to his eclectic mix of .
. old and new styles from around the world. Natural Self’s .
. musical evolution over the years has seen him become .
. increasingly in demand as a remixer, and he has previously .
. worked his magic on tracks for the likes of Nicole Willis, .
. Quantic, Abdominal and Elizabeth Shepherd. .
. .
. The B side on this 12”, “In The Morning,” is a less hectic .
. affair, but with a spritely Latin-house influenced beat, .
. stunning trumpet solo by Fulvio Sigurta and irresistible .
. vocals again from Andreya Triana it is still an upbeat .
. summer club gem. The dynamic horn hook, co-written by .
. Benedic Lamdin (aka Nostalgia 77), is so catchy it is .
. destined to be bouncing around in clubbers’ heads long .
. after they’ve stepped off the dancefloor. .
. .
. Natural Self’s album “The Art Of Vibration” is out on 30th .
. June and will be available on CD and special 6-track Vinyl .
. with full CD. .
