The Welsh-born, Sheffield, UK-based Kat Eaton is, for most of you, a refreshing new voice in the R&B/soul genre. What Happens Now is Eaton’s third album, and her most well-crafted project to date. Eaton and her longtime collaborator, producer Nick Atkinson, have been partnering since they were sixteen. They now have their own label. Needless to say, their chemistry is tight. Eaton’s voice is set just right in the crisp mix as she unveils a blend of soul, jazz-adjacent grooves, and splashes of blues and pop. Nothing is overdone, unlike too many female singers who overreach and, even worse, clutter their soundscapes with unnecessary noise. Yes, this is a superb recording, balancing the intimate with the expansive and personal, emotive tunes with those that are generally relatable.
