Lovegaze

Lovegaze is the debut album by American singer and harpist Nailah Hunter, released on January 12, 2024, through Fat Possum Records.

Hunter wrote and recorded the album in England with producer Cicely Goulder, and also collaborated with electronic music composer Ben Lukas Boysen.

[4] AllMusic's Paul Simpson found that the album "places more of a focus on Hunter as a singer and songwriter rather than a harpist", in which regard she has "grown considerably as a vocalist", and also that it "demonstrates Hunter's range from soundscape weaver to art-pop maverick, and her music is never less than bewildering".

[1] Paste's Devon Chodzin wrote that on Lovegaze, Hunter's "ambient impulses are foundational but nowhere near the totality" as she "assembles the most bewitching elements of soul and folk to create something transfixing, otherworldly and almost New Age in style".

[5] Madison Bloom of Pitchfork found that Hunter "emerges as a dexterous player and loose but imaginative composer" as "she cleverly incorporates elements of contemporary R&B, pop, and jazz".
