 The perfect combination of Norah Jones, Alicia Keys and Joss Stone, Natalie Williams’ third album, "Secret Garden" delivers a gorgeous smorgasbord that will make fans of jazz and R & B double check who is singing."This Girl" sounds like it came directly off of an Alicia Keys album. The old-school R & B and a chorus that is just as catchy as Keys’ "You Don’t Know My Name," while the lead single "Butterfly" is more of a smooth jazzy-pop song that’s more along the lines of "Do Somethin’" by Macy Gray. Williams also has a kinky side as shown in the album’s closer "The Nanny." The Timbaland-esque Amazonian percussive beat provides a sensual backdrop to the chorus "Guess we’ve crossed the line/ Addicted to moving/ There’s no looking back/ The work of your body/ It’s not for the show/ It’s for the money/ But you’re in control/ Cause I’m just a nanny." Quoteth Paris Hilton: "That’s hot." "Secret Garden" delivers on so many levels and in so many genres (from the Latin-flavored "The Way We Like It" to the laid-back groove of "Psychedelic Love") that her fan base should be expanding faster than Marlon Brando’s waistline. (Yes, I know he’s dead.) Williams is set for stardom both in Europe and the U.S. Anybody who is a fan of any of the above-mentioned ladies must check out Natalie Williams....full text |

| To kick off 2008, we thought we would feature one of our most exciting R&B artists, Natalie Williams. Natalie Williams is one of your favourite artists on We7, having spent more than a month on the Top Artists Chart. Her suave voice and jazzy beats have seduced us too! So we thought it would be great to get to know her better and find out about her career so far and her future. Let's have a look! The interview 'Secret Garden' has been out for one year now. How has the past year been for you? 2007 was a good year for profile building and getting the word out. The main thing that took off for me was my monthly residency at Ronnie Scotts where I do my soul night, Soul Family Sundays. It's been a good means to getting my music out there and playing very regularly with my band. I also went out to Japan for a promo tour supporting Nate James, played in Sofia in Bulgaria to an amazing crowd, played at the London Jazz Festival and I've had a good start writing the new album, so all in all it's been a really varied and exciting year. Long may it continue!!! Which has been your best moment since the release of 'Secret Garden'? I really enjoy the live side of things and when I did the album launch for Secret Garden at Michelle Escoffery's Kindred Spirit night, the whole 2 and a bit years of making the album suddenly seemed to pay off. Then 'This Girl' got playlisted on Radio2 and it also won best video at the Urban Music Awards, which was more than I could've dreamed of, especially because it was such a small independent production. It's always exciting when independent artists get a look in and I've had some amazing feedback all year....full text |
