She's one of the best songwriters (and singers) around. Note how the hooks in Everyday multiply until they overwhelm the listener - just like the song's protagonist is overwhelmed by the multiplicity of online dating. Also the rising and falling melody at the end of Something To Believe mirrors the constant reaching up (and disappointed falling back) of the quest for for spiritual fulfilment.
Her BEAUTY and choice of style resonates with me so hard, i love every aspect of her. That dress and her hair and simple makeup is beautiful, not to mention the way she holds herself. She is very special.
titanic rising is the album of my life...I’ve never related to an album so much. I find myself listening to it everyday, I never tire of it, and I find something new in it each time. genius songwriting, composition, melodies - all tie together so beautifully and eloquently! thank you Natalie for such a timely yet timeless album!
Natalie, "Andromeda" is your “Stardust”. I know 100 people on here have just said the same thing but I hope you read this, I feel compelled to tell you again, love you. This may sound wimpy but I'm teary eyed typing this right now.
I honestly haven't heard an album so perfectly written and executed as TR in quite some years. I don't think anyone will top it for me this year (but I hope I'm lucky enough to be wrong!)
I've probably listened to Titanic Rising around 40 times now and I still find myself wanting to come back to it, which is very rare for an album. Imo it's a vast improvement over Front row Seat to Earth in practically every aspect and is easily my aoty so far...
I'm sure every artist past and present wishes they wrote any one of her songs, she writes and sings the most beautiful songs. Shes so talented. She deserves more recognition and all of the success. :-)
She is my favourite artist of all time now. I found "men I trust" at a time when I was hurting and now I've found weyes blood at a time when I'm at peace.
I think it's safe to assume that Natalie is sitting on the throne of contemporary music royalty. She embodies it, and she projects it through her music. Every time she speaks I feel like we don't deserve her perspective
I agree with the comments, she's eloquent but also really warm, like there is zero pretense to the way she expresses herself. Also, great choice with "Stardust", it's very easy to see how this lush and emotive standard would be symbiotic to her own brand of song-writing.
Thank you for your musical and poetic interpretation. What moving concepts you describe at the end! I hope you will write that fullest song one day; for me "Can't Go Home" comes pretty close!
Not only do I also wish I wrote Stardust, I often wish I could inhabit the imagined space of it. I can picture every frame. And the Nat King Cole version is perfectly arranged and recorded.
