Highly anticipated third studio album by the English singer-songwriter, the follow-up to her critically acclaimed, Mercury Prize and Grammy-nominated album ‘Saturn’ (2018). While her previous project propelled Nao into a new stratosphere with its cosmic, coming-of-age themes, the songstress enters a brand new chapter with ‘And Then Life Was Beautiful’ – where ‘Saturn’ untangled the knots of late twenties soul-searching, ‘And Then Life Was Beautiful’ goes a step further by setting out a clarified sense of purpose.
Now a mother of a young daughter, Nao is more confident in herself and her voice than ever. A pandemic album, written and recorded throughout never-ending lockdowns, the project celebrates life's ups and downs, reaching out a hand to guide listeners through what hurdles may confront them next.
