Nathan Ball illustrates perseverance in love on “Stateline.”

Everything about rising singer- songwriter, Nathan Ball feels unforced. With an easy, calming presence, his music effortlessly moves between soaring emotional highs and moody introspection.

Based in Cornwall, the outdoors is a huge catalyst for much of Nathan’s material, with the songwriter sharing, “It’s where I write best; by the sea, in the mountains, in the woods. I love being totally immersed in nature so naturally those themes find their way into the music.  I love being in the ocean – just being in it and feeling totally insignificant. It’s a reminder of the order of things.”

Nathan’s work fuses two chief loves – classic songwriting and an eagerness to experiment and push sonic boundaries. He unexpectedly draws influence from left-field house music, saying, “I love the way it makes you feel – it’s euphoric, but sad, introverted but expressive. I love that darker side of the genre.” His love for the electronic world led him to a feature with seminal British electronica act, Faithless, and as a result, he is now touring as their vocalist, where this past summer they headlined festivals including; Wilderness and The Glade Stage at Glastonbury, and are now currently on an European headline tour.

His track, “Stateline” is a song about hope and resilience in the face of the challenges of love. It’s an energetic piece that starts off with folk-driven guitars filling up the airways, as Nathan’s saccharine vocals pull you in off the bat. The production on “Stateline” is a standout aspect and one of the major positives of the song, with its catchy rhythm and irresistible soundscape, crafting a rich tapestry and doing enough to keep you fully immersed, as Nathan takes the listener into his world.

One of his most compelling compositions so far, “Stateline” paints an incredible picture of the talent which the singer and songwriter possesses. An uplifting and heartwarming tune, the song perfectly encapsulates the feelings that lovers go through during the tough moments in their romantic lives, and the will to keep forging ahead, despite the challenges.

Nathan’s songs have garnered acclaim from the likes of Wonderland Magazine, Earmilk and Atwood Magazine and have impressively accumulated up to 60 million streams to date. “Stateline” is another huge step in the right direction for Nathan Ball, as the talented act continues to grow his impressive discography, cementing his place an artiste to watch.
