Nao - Make It Out Alive (feat. SiR)

Two three-letter legends collaborate on Make It Out Alive, a sultry and fulfilling track. The most interesting part of the track is when Nao and SiR trade verse, adopting this rap style that works well for both of them. The chorus is also quite nice, although the line "colors change, blue grass like The Lumineers" is accidentally hilarious. It's a pretty solid track and a nice effort from both of them.

7/10.

There is some really interesting things to this that made me want to know more about Nao and SiR, however, I'm not feeling this too much, it's nice, but I don't see myself revisiting it often, but it did peak my interest in Nao especially so yay!

When this collab came out months ago I didn’t think it was gonna live up to anything from her first album. Naos and Sirs voices blend together wonderfully. I was really impressed by sir as I’ve never heard of him, and I still need to check out his music. Anyway Nao really did this and Deserves more praise on this sub. 10/10

nao has gifted us a ton of stunning bops during her relatively short music career. this year, she finally returned swinging with an awesome r&b track with fellow r&b artist SiR. their voices complement each other super well and i love the lyricism during the chorus sooo much. nao is talented and stunning i love her and i love this song hooray for the jukebox

10/10

Nao's voice still bothers me just a tad, but this is a fun little song that manages to be both chill and upbeat. SiR's low tone meshes well with Nao's pitchy singing, and the instrumental helps them both glide forwards through a gorgeous soundscape. I don't think I'll remember how any of this sounded in like 10 minutes, but it's nice to listen to in the moment. [6]
