NATE08 
Inna Minute

Mumbai-based bassist-producer NATE08 returns with hopeful, house number ‘Inna Minute’. Featuring frequent collaborator and singer Azamaan Hoyvoy, the song – cloaked in feel-good grooves – talks about personal growth and overcoming fear. Bassist-producer NATE08 marks his return to production duties with a uplifting, reflective track ‘Inna Minute’ with the distinctive singer-songwriter Azamaan Hoyvoy on vocal duties. 

‘Inna Minute’ is NATE08 aka Nathan Thomas’ first release after his debut album Furaha in November 2022, and what a triumphant return it is. The gloriously groovy track is about finding hope and faith in a world that can sometimes seem dark and challenging, and Azamaan’s voice – dulcet and quirky at the same time – mirrors that hope. With themes of personal growth and deliverance at the centre of it, the soul-funk-house iteration ‘Inna Minute’ is the latest instalment of NATE08 explorations of dance music heritage.

“The song is about finding hope and faith in a world that can sometimes seem dark and challenging and the lyrics describe the realisation of a lack in the feeling and faith they need, but cannot complain about it,” NATE08 explains. The result of myriad, open-ended studio sessions, the decision to rope in Azamaan for ‘Inna Minute’ was a quick and natural one for NATE08. “When I finished making this track I knew it needed some vocals on it and I couldn’t think of anyone else but Azamaan to put something down on this one,” he says, before adding, “His ideas and approach are really unconventional but also really catchy and smart at the same time.”
