NAY PORTTELA flow into serenity with “River”

Nay Porttel

“River”, the latest release from NAY PORTTELA, is a fuzz-pop number that shows music can be both weird and wild. With fellow Hanoi native Dattie Do, the subject matter seems calm on the surface but builds into an intricate web of undercurrents that rewards deep thought. “River” is an invitation into a world poised somewhere between continents and moods. NAY PORTTELA’s signature touch is apparent throughout; every chord and harmonic shift sounds considered yet inevitable, a meeting point of accuracy and feel.

Then there is the voice of Dattie Do, lilting and insistent, which moves through the arrangement like sunlight on rippling water. Her delivery is softly intimate, anchoring the low-key dreaminess of the song’s blissful instrumental glide. As NAY and Dattie team up, they produce a timeless chemistry, the sort of partnership that reaches through language, across geography.

“River” is an evocative journey through feeling and artistry, paying respect to the origins of Bossa Nova while embracing the freedom of contemporary jazz. It’s as though NAY PORTTELA has constructed a bridge between worlds, from Hanoi to Rio, from tradition to the cutting edge, and asked us all to march across it. “River” is a testimony on how music, when made with genuine care, can flow us seamlessly downstream towards something akin to beauty and eternity.
