A nostalgic rock immersion, with electronic and disco flourishes, shines on Nata‘s new single “Frozen.” The Paris-based project is releasing their debut EP this coming fall, and the stylishly melodic satiation of “Frozen” certainly has us anticipating that release. Described as a “wild cry for freedom,” “Frozen” plays with cathartic impact as its driving bass pulses, glistening keys, and atmospheric synths combine artfully with a hooky vocal presence.
A steady bass bounce eases in alongside effervescent synth pads and twinkling keys, as a moody vocal injection pairs with the late-night synth/piano interplay for a sound with enjoyable shades of Chromatics. Palpable momentum is felt at the one-minute turn as the vocals ascend into the “stay frozen” invigoration — conjuring a soaring, anthemic charm as crunchy guitar distortion melds seamlessly with the uplifted vocal entrancement. A psych-friendly haziness unveils in the final minute, arriving into a final title-touting refrain and delectably vibe-y send-off. “Frozen” is a replay-tempting success throughout, showcasing the atmospheric and melodic talents of Nata.
