“Natti is an artist in the truest sense; in Nomi Abadi, he’s built a world that feels both centered around and bigger than the art. You sink into the story, led through portals as the thread unravels between crowded subway platforms, self-reflection on Pacific beaches, and flashes of inspiration at the piano in dinner party side rooms. His songwriting is both invigoratingly and devastatingly honest, holy and irreverent, and filled to the brim with meaning and intention. It was an endlessly exciting and rewarding process to help Natti tell his story and bring the instrumentation of Nomi Abadi to life. We wanted the music to make you shake your ass, but also make you sit your ass down and get introspective. Come as you are and make yourself comfortable; you’ll want to come back to this world over and over again.”
