Young Hearts - Natalie Gray

Single Review

By Clare Cordell

Natalie Gray is one of my favourite artists on the scene at the moment, she is fun and insanely hard working with an incredible voice.

I’m obsessed with Nat’s tag line “If The 1975 had a baby with Madonna circa 1990... that would be Natalie Gray” and it truly is the most accurate description of her. She has an incredible way of marrying her classically brilliant vocals with a super modern, pop synth vibe!

Nat’s newest track is a brilliant cover of the classic Candi Staton song Young Hearts Run Free, which she created with her producer and friend Jack Craig.

Nat and Jack have really managed to fuse together the heart of this classic song with some retro 80s vibes, Nats incredible vocals AND an insane guitar solo!

She has been performing this cover all over the UK all last year and has finally given the people what they want and it is available now to stream.

The track really feels like it could be featured ‘Running up That Hill’-style in an episode of Stranger Things. Especially considering they have cleverly given this track a darker feel. Its giving Madonna, its giving Demogorgon, its giving Chrissy Wake Up!

I am obsessed and cant wait to hear more of this from Nat!
