Natalie Prass Video Premieres To NPR

Natalie Prass shares first video off debut at NPR Music

The video concept was created by my best friend since age 15 and multidisciplinary artist, Erica Prince, who co-directed the video with Tiona McClodden. Erica and I have watched each other evolve as artists throughout the years, so it is really special to make something together at this point in our careers, the same way we’ve been collaborating since we were kids.

“The song is about self doubt, and so we thought it was appropriate that the video relate to the idea of self examination and layers that both distort and reveal. 

“Erica’s sculpture is also featured in the video. The piece is called Self Possession and it is really about self acceptance. It implies a female protagonist that is forced to face themselves. In Buddhism the circle represents wholeness, of oneself and the universe, and so the physical side of the sculpture creates half of the circle, and the reflection completes it, as if to say that half of ourselves lies in our self-image, the one that we create.” – Natalie Prass

“…warm, lush sound … steeped in the florid r&b of the ’60s and early 1970s, around the heyday of FAME and Stax, but never beholden to mere revivalism … With the luxuriance of Dusty Springfield and the reedy expressiveness of Diana Ross”Pitchfork (Best New Music, Best New Track x2)

“The result is a soulful pop sound with a retro vibe. Think Harry Nilsson meets Dionne Warwick with more than a little Dolly Parton in the mix.”TIME, 2015 Artist to Watch

“A gorgeous thing” – The Guardian

“Natalie Prass is an expertly sequenced and executed work that transforms decades of American music tradition into something relevant to the 21st century….spectacular.” – Consequence of Sound (A-)

“Every song is like a tiny miracle.” – Aquarium Drunkard

“Natalie Prass is ready to deliver a new classic.” – Under the Radar

“There’s something magical, gossamer about her sound. It’s an airiness that grew out of Nashville and has since flown away from it, enticing us to follow.” – The New Yorker
