You don’t have to be saccharine to be sweet, is the lesson learned upon listening to Naia Kete’s song “Sweet Music”, which appears off of her newly released debut album sharing the song’s namesake. In this melodious tune Naia’s voice carries a subtle soulfulness with a delicate feeling of fused ease and passion, as she sings slow and steady with the varying accompaniment of guitar, drums and piano.

            Other songs off the album such as, “Prisoner” demonstrate Naia’s reggae roots, while also capturing an underlying flavor of both Rock and Soul.  Her sound is both vivid and soothing, bringing a simple, yet distinct presence all of its own.

Naia’s next performance will be at Café Evolution in Florence, MA this Friday, February 6, 2009 at 7pm. For more performances dates, or to listen and purchase Naia’s music please visit www.naiakete.com.
