Natalie Slade returns with Molasses, your feature album this week on 2SER.

On her sophomore work, Natalie has linked up with various luminaries of the neo-soul scene – Dieyoungs on keys and Laneous on guitar and Sampology on the beat, producing the entirety of this excellent record.

Staying true to her signature style of future soul, Molasses has an emphasis on poetic storytelling – Natalie’s lyrics and melodies that are heard against a lush bed of string arrangements and the influence of Sampology’s soulful but gritty sensibility.

Natalie joined 2SER Breakfast live in the studio to chat – you can catch Natalie live at fanático records in Marrickville on Sunday 31 August and as part of a very special event at the Oxford Art Factory on the evening of Thursday 28 August, STRO MOTION, a future soul sound system of cosmic proportions featuring Natalie Slade alongside Cinta, Edseven and the Shadows of Tomorrow crew.
