Emerging from Indianapolis, American artist Nana Kottens fearlessly combines dancehall, reggae, and R&B to create a meaningful and mesmerising listening experience. Over a staggering seventeen tracks – including remixes and alt versions – ‘Never Scared of Trying’ explores its author’s Ghanaian roots and American upbringing, blending a wide range of cultural references into a musical recipe that’s highly peculiar and authentic.
Essentially, you can expect ‘Never Scared of Trying’ to delve into Dancehall, RnB and Reggae, although Kottens makes it hard for us to establish any sort of genre box. Rather, he’s championing his creative freedom, offering a slice of modern grooves and elegance to any keen listener, something that’s related to the album’s lyricism too, packed with messages of resilience and determination.
When asked about the record, Nana Kottens shared a personal motto that perfectly encapsulates his spirit: “Never stop trying, the moment you stop trying is the very moment you failed yourself.” This quote reflects his unwavering determination to pursue his passion and give his all to the things he loves.
