A subtly funky beat gives ‘Late Nights’ its easy neo-soul groove, while jazzy brass flourishes bring touches of classic soul into its distinctly modern sound. But it’s NNAVY’s beautifully smooth vocal that really draws you in, becoming increasingly sensual as the song unfolds. Warm, intimate and effortlessly fluid, this is music firmly made for dim lights and the small hours.

That intimacy carries beautifully into the accompanying video, which finds NNAVY alone at home after dark, dancing, moving through softly lit rooms and simply feeling herself. At times we’re even watching from outside the window, giving these moments an almost private quality. Rather than fighting against the song’s themes of visibility and desire, the simplicity feels significant – NNAVY takes centre stage entirely on her own terms.
