New (-ish) Music: NATE JAMES - Restored (The Story So Far)


NATE JAMES is probably one of THE unsung heroes of UK soul music of the last ten year.
Having launched onto the music scene in 2005 with airplay hits like 'Universal' & 'The Message'

 

The singer/songwriter went on to have success across Europe and even Japan, achieving award nominations including nods at the MOBOs.


Although not really seen in the mainstream spotlight since, NATE went on to release 3 albums, worked on a string of big name collaborations and formed electro pop band SUGASMAK! (and the afro went too!)



However it's looking like 2013 is going to be a BIG year for the Suffolk man. He will soon be seen on BBC TV's THE VOICE and (although as yet unconfirmed) there's every chance he will progress beyond the 'blind audition' round.

Ahead of this, NATE has issued a brand new compilation, basically a best of entitled 'Restored (The Story So Far)'. The album, which features the previously mentioned singles, popular album tracks and cover versions (of originals by the likes of LAURYN HILL and HUE & CRY




The 12 track collection was released yesterday (April 14th) and has already placed highly on itunes R&B chart.

As we await his TV performance, this is the perfect introduction for those who know little of this homegrown talent (but soon will!)

You can get 'Restored'on itunes here or 7 Digital here
