Lush, orchestral pop that feels like a vintage film score. Breathy vocals meet rich horn sections and soulful grooves for a sophisticated, bittersweet experience.

Intro

Natalie Prass creates music that feels like a lost classic from the mid-seventies, reimagined with a modern indie sensibility. Her sound is defined by the incredible 'Spacebomb' production style: think sweeping string sections, punchy brass, and a warm, analog glow that makes every track feel expensive and lived-in. It is sophisticated pop that doesn't shy away from big emotional gestures or theatrical flourishes.

What truly sets her apart is the contrast between her delicate, almost doll-like vocal delivery and the muscular, soulful arrangements behind her. She sings with a breathy intimacy that suggests she's whispering directly into your ear, even when she's backed by a full orchestra. This creates a unique tension - a mixture of vulnerability and total command that feels both nostalgic and entirely fresh.

Start with her self-titled debut for the full orchestral experience, especially the track 'Bird of Prey.' If you're in the mood for something with a bit more funk and synth-driven energy, 'The Future and the Past' shows her evolving into a formidable soul-pop powerhouse. It's music for people who love the craft of songwriting and the magic of a perfectly placed flute solo.

Natalie Jean Prass (born March 15, 1986) is an American singer-songwriter from Virginia Beach, Virginia. Her self-titled debut album was released on January 27, 2015, through Spacebomb and Columbia Records.
