Nao announces her fourth concept album, Jupiter

"Jupiter is joyful; it's the planet of growth, expansion and personal transformation. I wanted to make a record that embodied all of these things so that hopefully when you listen to it you'll feel a beautiful shift in your own vibration of joy," Nao shares.

Speaking further on recent single, she continued: "Elevate captures the intoxicating feeling of love. It describes a relationship so powerful it feels addictive, yet freeing, like floating without fear of falling. I wanted it to sound euphoric, which is why we have this soaring, Prince-like guitar solo, beautifully played by my guitarist, Andy Vickery."
