Born in Cleveland and raised in Virginia Beach, Natalie Prass is a singer and songwriter whose music captures the deep emotions and heartfelt sound of vintage soul and R&B with the down-to-earth vibe of classic country, striking a balance between Diana Ross and Dolly Parton. Known to music fans as a member of Jenny Lewis' road band, Prass steps out on her own with her first album, simply titled Natalie Prass, where she shows off her impressive gifts as a vocalist and composer. Co-produced by Matthew E. White (Prass' labelmate at Spacebomb Records, a friend since their high-school days, and another artist with a soulful, eclectic approach), who has helped give the album a broad spectrum of musical colors, Natalie Prass was years in the making, but the finished product has a warm, organic sound that honors Prass' roots in Southern music and resonates with the emotional integrity of her songs. Romantic, powerful, and deeply personal, Natalie Prass is the work of a distinctive new artist with a vision that embraces past and present, merging strength and vulnerability to powerful effect. ~ Mark Deming

Professional Reviews

Rolling Stone - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "These songs would be at home in a smoky lounge circa 1973, from the horn-laced opener 'My Baby Don't Understand Me' to the baroque-pop brooder 'Christy.'"

Paste (magazine) - "Prass shows a range in songwriting, from anthems to confident R&B burners to whimsical prairie folk to theatrical grandeur. It is the debut of a songwriter not struggling to find a voice, but fully formed and confident as all hell."

Pitchfork (Website) - "Prass sounds positively uplifted as the band swells over her lovesick harmonies, forgoing any tortured abnegation. There's idealism in her voice that's tempered by heartbreak without falling prey to cynicism..."
