Introducing Natasha Kmeto's Indubitable Synth Anthem 'Come & Say' 

Here, we’re debuting “Come and Say,” the first single from the Inevitable LP. It’s both bolder and brighter than she’s ever been, as she leans deep into the synth funk, her vocals sounding like big, confident strides. The chorus goes, “Won’t you come and say, won’t you come and say, won’t you come and say that you won’t go,” but it’s less of a question than a declaration—both Kmeto and the “you” in question know nobody’s going nowhere, at the very least because they’re enthralled by the killer tom hits and Alan Howarth-style movie synths. “Come and Say” is dancefloor-built but it’s also closer towards a pop anthem than Kmeto’s ever gotten, insofar that a pop anthem can sound like a psychedelic ride into an oscillator. (More remarkably: as more and more synth-heavy R&B artists submerge their vocals into a wispy, trap etherium to the point of dissolving into nothingness, it’s nice to hear someone uninterested in obscuring her voice.) As ever, Kmeto’s impressive and has an easy knack for jams—Inevitable should show just how fiercely she’s been whittling her craft.
