專輯介紹
Prass在《The Future and The Past》 專輯中和老友Matthew E.、以及新合作的音樂人Blue (Solanges 《A Seat At The Table》, Blood Orange, Carly Rae Jepsen) 和 Michael Brauer (Elle King and James Bay) 完成了一張充滿弦樂、鋼琴、吉他及合成器製作出形形色色的專輯。將自己的聲線帶到輕飄飄的雲上，卻又時而堅強有力。古怪女權主義的她，此張專輯歌詞更是如刀般鋒利，大聲地唱出來! 如一曲《Sisters》充滿叛逆的哭吼著: “I want to say it loud / for all the ones held down / we gotta change the plan.”
Prass made 《The Future and The Past》 in Richmond, VA with long-time friend and collaborator Matthew E. White at his Spacebomb Studios. She added some new collaborations to the mix as well: Blue (Solanges 《A Seat At The Table》, Blood Orange, Carly Rae Jepsen) and Michael Brauer (Elle King and James Bay). 《Future》 is ripe with string orchestrations and piano flourishes, snaking synth lines and fuzzed out guitars.
《The Future And The Past》 is bursting with a myriad of grooves and Natalies vocals float on top, light as a feather and tough as nails. “Short Court Style” dials the tempo into 90s R&B territory – punctuated by handclaps, sampled “woos,” and a Dr. Dre-esque whistling synth line. Lyrically she wields a sharp knife as well. The love torn “Lost” begins with: “Turn up the fader, its like a lightning bolt / we cant be saved, so now Im listening on my own / Once there was a time when you had me hypnotized / you realized that your finger prints were on my bones.” Funky feminist anthem “Sisters” is an empowering rallying cry: “I want to say it loud / for all the ones held down / we gotta change the plan.”
