Natalie releases new single ‘I Fantasise’ ❤️🔥
NATALIE MCCOOL RETURNS WITH SMASH HIT NEW SINGLE ‘I FANTASISE’
OUT JUNE 4TH via Fortress Sounds
After releasing her incredibly well-received album ‘Memory Girl’ in 2021 – featuring standout singles Devils, A Sun Going Down, Take Me To Your Leader, followed by a definitive album title track – Natalie McCool makes a powerful return with her anthemic new pop single I Fantasise, out 4th June 2025.
Marking the beginning of an exciting new musical era, I Fantasise offers a bold glimpse into Natalie’s evolving sound – a vibrant, nostalgic twist on pop that feels both familiar and refreshingly new. Charmingly tongue-in-cheek, and taking inspiration from tales of dreamy summer romance, I Fantasise harks back to classic summer hits such as Summer of 69 and Born In The USA. Speaking about the inspiration behind the track, Natalie shares:
“I wrote I Fantasise about a summer crush that reignites every year but always stays just out of reach. It’s about the thrill of that connection, and the burning question that always remains: Is this summer going to be the one?
At the time, I was obsessed with huge summer anthems like Summer of ’69 by Bryan Adams, Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen, and The Boys of Summer by Don Henley – timeless songs with that expansive, retro feel. I wanted to create my own version of that kind of track… and I Fantasise emerged.”
In addition to writing, recording, producing, and mixing the track herself, Natalie set one more challenge: to open up her creative world to new collaborators. The single features guest vocals from rising artist Ellysse Mason, who boasts over 1 million followers on TikTok.
“I’ve known Ellysse for a long time – we’ve moved in similar circles in the Northern music scene, and I’ve always loved her voice and style, which blends a retro vibe with something really current. I asked if she’d like to sing the bridge section on I Fantasise, and she said yes! Our voices complement each other so naturally – I couldn’t be more excited that she’s part of this track.”
