From folk to soul. That is the musical journey that this Missourian singer-songwriter makes on his latest album. Nathaniel Rateliff played live in Barcelona two years ago, and he now returns at the request of Grec spectators with a new crop of songs to play.
At the request of many fans who had seen him live in 2014, when he presented his 2013 album Falling Faster Than You Can Run, the concert promoter Cooncert put the idea of Nathanial Rateliff returning to the city to the vote amongst festival-goers. The response was a resounding “Yes!”, no doubt because word has got around about the new sounds on the musician’s latest album, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. With his deep voice and stripped-down, introspective sound, Rateliff has become one of the most interesting and admired figures on the US folk scene, sharing the bill with the likes of Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, Bon Iver and Wilco. On his latest album, released in 2015, he takes a surprising foray into soul territory, coming up with a collection of unusual, intense songs. Has our man joined the Neo soul movement that we hear so much about nowadays? Not exactly; Rateliff takes things a step further and reworks the genre, giving it a fresh, original touch. A chance to hear the latest sounds from one of the leading figures on the North American indie music scene!
