Natty & The Rebelship Gaia

Following his self-imposed hiatus from recording music, Natty is back with a new album, due for release early 2016. Soul searching and sonically haunting, Gaia is the epitome of the journey he has taken both as artist and man. Written on the road, and recorded with his band in Natty's own studio, Gaia is released with accompanying video. Shot in Morocco by the talented Pasquale Pagano, the video is a tribute to mother nature's glory. "This song was written over a two-month period, I started it in a desert in southern Africa just after meeting the legendary Credo Mutwa, and completed it in a Rasta camp next to the firewater spring in Jamaica, it is my homage to mother earth which right now needs protection from these pushermen of destruction" Natty. It is a subtly heady summer track, featuring his full band The Rebelship. Soul-stirring bass and delicate horns make way for Natty’s inimitable song-smithery and hypnotic vocals. Gaia's release also includes the Prince Fatty Remix, a nostalgia-tinted, dub-heavy banger. One for the dance floor and keeping an urban sound, the remix will accompany the original on limited edition vinyl and will be released with its own video. Since album Man Like I, Natty has self- released the award-winning Out of Fire EP, created a monthly club night and label, both named Vibes and Pressure. The label has put out its first release, compilation album Vibes and Pressure Volume 1 featuring a spectrum of sounds from soul to Afro-beats to reggae and back. In that time, Natty joined forces with charity E.R.A.S.E. (Ending Reliance and Supporting Empowerment). Working in West Africa, the charity hones in on self sufficiency and building social capital. Natty has also recently completed his Candlelit Tour; a by-the-people for-the-people intimate tour set in living rooms, back yards, beaches and farms.
