A lot of Nu Yacht is a bit silly, wearing sea captain hats and unable to override it’s own irony – not always though!

Smooth grooves are an awesome thing when done right, and with ‘Sou Fera’ by Julia Mestre, we have a gorgeous, sophisticated little shuffler that mixes Brazilian MPB with West Coast loveliness, for one of the nicest songs we’ve heard this year.

It’s not straight up Yacht – we can hear a bit of Sade, we can hear a little Marcos Valle, a little Toro Y Moi – it’s modern, with a retro twist.
