Nao unveils heartfelt new single "Wait"

"Wait" is the latest preview of Nao's new album, and follows last month's title-track "And Then Life Was Beautiful".

The new song will appear on And Then Life Was Beautiful alongside earlier outings "Messy Love", "Antidote" featuring Adekunle Gold and Lianne La Havas collaboration "Woman".

And Then Life Was Beautiful will be Nao's first album since 2018's Mercury Prize and Grammy-nominated album Saturn, and will include new collaborations with serpentwithfeet and Lucky Daye.

Speaking about the album last month, Nao said, "Life isn’t perfect; we still go through ups and downs, but it can be beautiful as a whole. I do think it’s a hopeful album, in an honest way – it’s not shiny or all ‘isn’t this great!’ and ‘party party party.’ But it’s hopeful in that through every rough patch, every dark patch or struggle we always come out again. That’s what life is. You keep going. But most of all you try and step into a place of gratitude so that you can see life in all of its beauty."
