Nao Yoshioka’s self is a beautifully open, globally minded record shaped by the relationships she built on her Flow world tour across eleven countries. It brings together Bilal, Peter CottonTale, Khari Mateen, Keyon Harrold, Jamila Woods, Devin Morrison, MXXWLL, Sam Wills, Bnnyhunna, Mỹ Anh, Misha, and Chien Chien Lu.
Rooted in Sweet Soul Records’ World Soul Collective philosophy, self connects neo-soul, R&B, Afrobeats, house, and spiritual jazz through Nao’s voice. After thirteen years chasing recognition and hiding parts of herself, she embraced her imperfections and found a new creative freedom, making this her most honest and expansive work yet.
