Natalie McCool has proved herself as a captivating frontwoman with a gift for innovative pop songwriting. After airplay at Radio 1, 6 Music and BBC Introducing and praise from The Line of Best Fit, Sunday Times, Clash and Wonderland, Natalie has now reached a new artistic height with the release of her new album ‘Good For The Soul’ on September 9th, which is previewed by lead single ‘Coming Of Age’ out now, featuring Trans Voices. Listen HERE.
‘Good For The Soul’ is a different animal altogether from her previous record, 2021’s ‘Memory Girl’. It’s a boundary- breaking, genre-bending record in a lot of ways, but at the root is her never-changing, unique flavour of alternative pop. It’s a diverse journey, which moves confidently from playful pop and into darker, trippier, moodier soundscapes.
The album is drawn from two pivotal influences. First was being commissioned to co-curate and perform ‘Welcome To Eurotopia’, a 90-minute live show that kicked off Liverpool’s 2023 Eurovision Festival.. A collaboration with Stealing Sheep, the show featured guest vocalists including The Lathums and Andy McCluskey (OMD), as well as a ten-piece all-female band, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and a marching brass section. And second was the growing realisation that she didn’t have to restrict herself to any genre: she was free to do anything she wanted.
Natalie McCool will play two album launch shows at Liverpool’s Kazimier Stockroom (October 9th) and London’s Sebright Arms(October 10th) – tickets for both are now available HERE. She is also confirmed for the Henley Festival on July 11th and DevaFest on August 9th.
