about

San Francisco soul siren Naje (Na-jay) has confirmed the April 22 release of her upcoming album New Day – a modern-day Sharon Jones meets Amy Winehouse that promises to be THE new sound of 2016! One listen to Naje’s powerful, soul-shattering voice fused with an early 60’s Motown-era pop-soul, funk and R&B sound and you know you’ve got the real deal.

New Day was co-written and co-produced by Naje and composer/arranger/bassist Sascha Jacobsen after she raised the money through her loyal fans on Kickstarter to produce the album. The album was recorded in the studio while the songstress was pregnant, and explores the many colors of love, loss, endings and new beginnings, and documents many events that define Naje, especially the birth of her daughter and becoming a mother.

New Day spotlights Naje’s soul-drenched, sensual voice that elegantly floats over Jacobsen’s masterful, evocative arrangements. The album was recorded by engineer Scott Bergstrom at Oakland’s 25th Street Studios and features an all-star cast of Bay area musicians with Naje (The Supervixens) on vocals, Sascha Jacobsen (Rita Moreno, Hugh Jackman, Mandy Patinkin, Patti LuPone) on bass, Mike Blankenship (Michael Franti, Sheila E) on keys and hammond B3, Colin Douglas (Eddie Palmieri, Wayne Wallace) on drums and percussion, Dave McNab (Bob Weir) on guitar, Guillermo Garcia (Trio Garufa) on nylon string guitar, and the Musical Art Quintet.

The title track “New Day” has a fun, uptempo, ska rhythm and feel infused with Naje’s retro-soul sound, while “I Can’t Stop” captures the essence of soul-funk as it was at its height in the mid-60s to mid-70s. Tracks like “We Can’t Find The Love” and “She Won’t Love You” take you back with Naje’s mellow, soulful vocals soaring over an early 60’s Motown-era, pop-soul sound. “Evermore” is a tribute to Naje’s daughter and a top-notch soulful anthem that gives a glimpse into the chanteuses’ poetic songwriting style.

lyrics

One long summer under a pale blue sky
Was getting to know you, now can’t get you off my mind
I search for a sign, something to tell me your mine
But I can’t stop these tears, fallin from my eyes

Dreams of eden lost
In a desert sky
Is our love long gone?
Is this tomorrow’s goodbye?
Can we take a chance?
And let love be our guide
Or is this tomorrow
Tomorrow’s goodbye?

We used to laugh all night, and gazed at the stars and the moon
I wondered how far this would go, but didn’t think it would end soon
Now I look back at it all, confused as to why things have cooled
Cause you were my sunshine, and I was just starting to bloom

Dreams of eden lost
In a desert sky
Is our love long gone?
Is this tomorrow’s goodbye?

Can we take a chance?
Let love be our guide
Or is this tomorrow
Tomorrow’s goodbye?

Now if there’s nothing more to do, and nothing left for us to say
You’re always in and out of love, can’t seem to find your way
If there’s nothing I can give, and nothing you can say
Then I’m not the one for you, and you’re not the one…

I walk the streets, and everything reminds me of you
I’m hearing our songs play, but now they just seem out of tune
I try to move on, but none have a smile quite like you
So why’s it so damn hard to lose something you never had and never knew

Dreams of eden lost
In a desert sky -----
Is our love long gone?
Is this tomorrow’s goodbye?
Can we take a chance?
Let love be our guide
Or is this tomorrow
Tomorrow’s goodbye?

Tomorrow …
tomorrow…
tomorrow’s goodbye …
Goodbye
