"And Then Life Was Beautiful" is the mesmerising title track from songstress Nao's upcoming album, set for release on 24 Sept.
In a release about the album, Nao said: "Life isn't perfect; we still go through ups and downs, but it can be beautiful as a whole. I do think it's a hopeful album, in an honest way – it's not shiny or all 'isn't this great!' and 'party party party,' but it's hopeful in that through every rough patch, every dark patch or struggle we always come out again. That's what life is. You keep going. But most of all you try and step into a place of gratitude so that you can see life in all of its beauty."
