It's Like I Never Left [LP]

Nectar Woode - It's Like I Never Left [LP]

UK-born, Ghanaian-rooted artist Nectar Woode emerges with a confident and quietly affecting six-tracker that blends soul, pop and subtle jazz inflections. Co-produced by Jordan Rakei, opener 'Only Happen' is the clear standout-smoky and restrained, it pairs Woode's hushed vocals with brushed drums and woozy keys, unfolding a slow-burning meditation on self-worth and constraint. The tone stays close and intimate across the EP: 'LOSE' leans into classic soul phrasing with a contemporary lightness, while 'Ama Said' brings familial wisdom into focus via delicate guitar work. On the B-side, 'Light As A Feather' drifts over gentle polyrhythms, and 'When The Rain Stops' taps into a kind of late-night clarity. Woode's delivery remains understated but potent, and this measured confidence is part of her strength-she doesn't oversell the emotion, but lets the detail do the work. A compelling and sensitive new voice.
