Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

It’s a sleepy, laid-back kind of vibe that runs through Man Like I, the debut album from North London’s Natty, but don’t mistake it for laziness. The tales we find within mark our narrator out as neither saint nor sinner, bouncing round London’s streets with a badman swagger and an eye for the ladies, but with a skill for a deft, lyrical narrative and a social conscience learnt from his heroes, “Marcus, Mandela and Marley”. And while Bob Marley is a fair reference point to Natty’s shuffling, light reggae skank, it’s just as easy to locate these tales of life, love, and misadventure on the streets of London in the neighbourhood of Lily Allen, Kate Nash, and their attendant clan of new-school songsmiths. Some of it, then, is pretty simple fare--see “Last Night”, a break-up number that sees Natty reach for the spliff and the bottle--but elsewhere, there’s politically charged numbers like “Burn Down This Place”, a lament for his slave ancestors, or “Hey Man”, which sees our narrator lash out at the political apathy displayed by his peers. “My father’s generation had fires in their belly, man/We sat there like living room furniture, in front of our tellys, man”. --Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic discovery, 2 Jul 2008
By Mark Meynell "quaesitor" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
This album is a fantastic discovery. Full of all kinds of moods and atmosphere, sentiments and observations. Natty fuses a whole host of sounds (as suggested by the list on his myspace page of his various influences). A number of songs really get under the skin and stick in the mind (eg Stoned on You, Say Bye Bye and Badman). 'July' kicks off the album with a trad kingston reggae sound which is great - but there is great ingenuity and improvisation as the album develops.

All in all, I can't get enough of it. Highly recommended to anyone who values great music regardless of its genres or stable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Style + Substance = Great!, 17 Jul 2008
By Sam Woodward (Swansea, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
Natty's chilled out vocals remind me of Jack Johnson but the lyrics have far more depth. True to reggae's roots, some tracks deal with different issues faced by this mixed race young man in modern Britain - usually accompanied by disarmingly laid-back tunes. It is his relaxed rythums which make Natty's clever tracks seem effortlessly thrown together.

I enjoyed it from the first listen & it has continued to grow on me since then, as repeated listens reveal more depth. While each track clearly has Natty's signature on it, there is plenty of variety & not a single weak song. I look forward to him breezing his 'difficult' second album.

5.0 out of 5 stars The summer belongs to Natty, 24 Jun 2008
By doublegone (scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
Loving this.

On the face of it this is sunny poppy summer reggae. And you can probably just take it that way if you want. Quite old skool. Lyrical rather than dubby. Proper songs. Great band and uplifting rhythms. The man has a voice too.


Listen to the lyrcs though and you will find quite a bit of depth and the occasional darker element creeps in. Reminds me a bit of Finlay Quaye from a few years back.

Natty was apparently a studio monkey and twiddler before getting a band and doing his thing. He has a background in beats and bleeps but can clearly create a top notch tune that can cut it live.

A very impressive album. I'll be looking out for this guy.
