NoSo - Man Who Loves You

NoSo has got this indie alternative thing down pat. But that’s not to say they’ve spent a whole lot of time constructing any kind of preconceived persona for themselves. That happened organically. This LA-based singer/songwriter’s work simply has too much soul and too much emotion ingrained its fabric for it to be placed as a distant second to such…..superficial considerations. As we make our way a few times through their impressive debut Stay Proud of Me LP, we sometimes get the feeling that NoSo is a hundred of our favorite indie artists bundled into one. NoSo will pull at your heartstrings the way Soko tends to, build their songs around universally relatable topics like Japanese Breakfast, and compose folk rock ballads of as grand a scale as acts like Angel Olsen and The Tallest Man on Earth might. “Man Who Loves You” most definitely subscribes to the latter of those three categories. And aside from all the catchy melodic components, its the sheer size of the song that separates this gorgeous tune from the rest of the pack. We also love the neat vocal technique applied to the chorus, in which NoSo is seemingly in conversation with themselves as they tactfully transition between stereo and mono. If you’ve yet to experience NoSo first hand, this is also the song we’d recommend to get the ball rolling in what’s likely to soon thereafter result in a much deeper dive into this talented artist’s catalogue.
