The piano part is full of lovely chords\u2026 but it\u2019s not this that catches you. It\u2019s the chorus. The oohs and the duetted saxophone, is what caught my ear. This is how I\u2019m introduced gently this sunny morning to the new duo Night Porter.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Technically they aren\u2019t new to me, at least Emma Johnson isn\u2019t, she came into my life via her stunning album \u201cWorry Not\u201d, released last year, with her band Emma Johnson\u2019s Gravy Boat.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This song is a ballad, and the lyrics are poetic, speaking of someone that the writer has lost touch with, and how the garden is not flourishing because they\u2019re not there.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The lack of other instrumentation doesn\u2019t hurt this song at all, the fact that it\u2019s just vocals, harmony, and sax makes it stand out to me even more.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I mentioned the chord progression before &#8211; it\u2019s emotive, and really speaks to me in terms of the way the song is performed. You can really feel something in there.<\/p>\n<p>For me it\u2019s jazz fused with folk, it wouldn\u2019t surprise me if they are influenced by Kate Bush\u2026 I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s just\u2026 that vibe.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Night Porter are musician\/composer Emma Johnson and singer songwriter Nishla Smith, this was part of a commission from Manchester Jazz Festival but they are planning on releasing singles building up to an EP as a way to launch and hopefully build some momentum around new project before putting out more music later in the year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This song is gorgeous.
