Natalie Releases New Single ‘Devils’
Natalie releases new single ‘Devils‘ on Fortress Sounds via AWAL. Listen / Download now.
Co-written with Dan Haggis from UK band The Wombats, Natalie shared: “Devils is essentially about allowing yourself every one in a while to give into emotions that are traditionally seen as negative, and that’s okay, because we are only human and need to experience and accept these feelings to be whole.
I think giving someone the space and support to say anything and everything they are experiencing or thinking and for that also to be ok is an amazing way to accept and move on, in a way it’s taking away the stigma and shame of these feelings and turning the experience into something positive that will make you stronger.”
Natalie Releases New Single ‘Closure’
Natalie releases new single ‘Closure’ on Fortress Sounds via AWAL. Listen / Download now.
Talking about the track Natalie shared: “Have you ever wanted to get over someone so much that you figuratively bury them? ‘Closure’ is the journey you take to finally slamming the door on that person. It’s a high energy middle finger to your once beloved.
What I imagine people doing when they listen to this song is bouncing around singing the chorus at the top of their lungs – I wanted to create something that is anthemic but also full of humour. Because sometimes, crying and laughing are not so different from one another.
When you are suffering from loss & grief from a bond that’s been broken, the emotions you feel are very complex and numerous, the facets of a break up are many – like a rainbow. This idea interests me because rainbows are always seen as positive, and I believe going through that range of feeling is also positive because it’s a necessary process FOR closure.”

Official Video for Christmas single ‘Please Please Please (Won’t You Unwrap Me?)’
The official video for Natalie’s Christmas song ‘Please Please Please (Won’t You Unwrap Me?)’ is out today on YouTube! Watch it here.
Released on Modern Sky via Warner ADA, Natalie shared: “The video reflects the song really well – the often unacknowledged fact that not everyone relates to Christmas in a good way, there’s a lot of loneliness around Christmastime.
However as usual I wanted to wrap these wider themes up in (excuse the pun) quite a witty, upbeat & (most of all) fun way”.
Enjoy!
