Brooklyn-based songwriter Nathaniel Paul is one of our favourites for his original output, which is flavoured with marvellous vintage elements. His latest, “The Girl with No Tattoo,” was released last month. Let’s discover more below.

As stated in the press kit, the song draws inspiration from his wife, “who, in an era where tattoos are everywhere, distinguishes herself by being tattoo-free.” Additionally, “The Girl with No Tattoo” serves as a poignant and refreshing anthem that defies societal norms and honors individuality. “Tattoos have become so widespread that not having one feels unique in itself. Branding has become part of our skin, but now, it seems like having no tattoo is a defining choice. I wanted to celebrate that uniqueness.” – Nathaniel explained.

The music here is truly remarkable. Nathaniel’s emotive vocals, the harmonious melody, and the beautiful vintage guitar tone, combined with a tight rhythm, all contribute to an extraordinary sound that seamlessly blends modern and classic elements. While I thoroughly enjoyed the music, I believe the real strength lies in the song’s theme. In my opinion, people tend to lose their true identities and adopt inauthentic ones through tattoos! Additionally, I greatly value Nathaniel’s viewpoint on tattoos, and I would like to quote him.“Altering your body has become so prolific, so I think it’s really important to be confident in who you are. You are beautiful – just by simply being you – tattoo or not.” Nathaniel added. “You don’t have to change or alter yourself just so people will like you” he concludes.

The singer-songwriter and producer releasing his debut album ‘Learning to Listen’ on June 11th via AWAL. I was lucky to listen to some singles from his album and finally I got the chance to check it all out. Let’s find more while I am Learning to Listen.

The album features 10-stunning tracks but what really amazed me that he was very keen to depend on his voice other than mixing flavors or music software arrangements like many other artists do these days, but don’t get me wrong the music is marvelous indeed, the point is that he made it as it should be when the music lines serve his voice not cover up his voices. Which is a lack of experience for many artists these days, but of course, this isn’t the case with Nathaniel as he proved to deliver one of the greatest albums in 2021. I believe that ‘songbird’ which got featured in several magazines as his first single, will catch your ears easily and makes you more interested to check the rest, and it’s a smart choice indeed to start the album with it.

Although the style of the album is mellow or this is what you gonna feel but when you reach the half of the album to the track ‘The Phone’ there’s a great shift with impressive guitar soloing to spice things up. If I am correct, the album started to take a different direction as the music getting kinda upbeat to balance the music more in the whole album. I guess this was one of his main messages while we Learning to Listen… to simply understand the beauty. Although there are many tracks that I loved over here the album song-title is my favorite indeed, I love his emotive vocals and the charm guitar lines, and it’s pretty cool adding a harmonica line at the end which provided diversity indeed.
