"Right Place" from London's Nathan Ball is giving me major Ben Howard vibes. Specifically, "Gracious." As one of my favorite songwriters, I immediately fell for this one.
The sparse guitars melt into his subtle voice and lyricism, making for a lovely expanse of sound. "Right Place" was inspired by his recent tour, where he was able to play in the mountains of France. The natural backdrop and nomadic sentiment inspired the idea of finding your own "right place"- whether it be physically or mentally.
Hopefully, today finds you in your right place in all regards. If not, throw this one on and drift til you find that peace. Check out the official video below:

I've been a huge James Vincent McMorrow fan since I first heard his tune "If I Had A Boat." I was mesmerized by the Irish native's voice (although his accent is nearly nonexistent) and the subtle guitar strumming that made up the underbelly of his fo...
