Nectar Woode - Head Above Water *SIGNED*

'Head Above Water' is another example of the rich patchwork of
infuences at the heart of Nectar's writing in full bloom.Having been
raised in "a working class area in Milton-Keynes", Nectar grew up around
so many talented people from different cultural backgrounds, but she
noticed that what helped kids stay on the right track was "keeping them
occupied with creative spaces
It's so sad that only fnancially stable families are able to provide creative spaces
for their kids. I think it should be for everyone. Everyone is creative, and they
should be provided the means to explore that." Nectar's Ghanaian amateur
saxophone-player father would help create that space for her and fll the house
with jazz and Highlife music, while her English mother worked as an artist and
fashion pattern cutter; exposed to a creative way of life and a wide variety of
sounds, both mainstream and niche, it was able to open Nectar's ears to a world
of sonic possibility.
Nectar credits the early 2010's wave of London singers (Winehouse, Duffy) for
making her want to move to the capital, but it was the people she met when she
arrived that truly steered Nectar towards the warm, jazz-infused sound that she
inhabits today.. "I grew up with Erykah Badu and D'Angelo, but uni was when I
dived really deep into it; listening to their albums, studying it," she says. "I had
friends who loved the same music so we made bands who would cover that
music and then write our own stuff inspired by it, and from there it developed.
Having released a few songs independently over the past couple of years, her
debut EP Nothing To Lose merged her improvisational ethos of the jam sessions
that she cut her teeth playing in, with the more streamlined pop noise of cowriters and producers Bad Sounds (Arlo Parks, Rose Gray) and Tobie Tripp (Tom
Misch, Dave).
