Announcing her new album, Memory Girl is set for release on July 30th.

Liverpool-based artist Natalie McCool announces the newest chapter of her journey as she shares the news of her upcoming album, Memory Girl, which is pencilled for release on July 30th. It’ll see the musician channelling her honest voice and personal experiences into an alluring sound that floats between alternative, pop and indie. Speaking more about the inspiration behind the album, Natalie shares:

‘Memory Girl’ is about childhood and adulthood. Songs that feel introspective. Songs about not having a voice, finding a voice, jealousy, love, loss and peace. It’s about things that have left a deep mark on you one way or another, those moments from the past that hit you and knock you sideways, either making you laugh out loud or nearly die of embarrassment. It has a strong focus on the habits and mental state of myself and those very close to me. It’s really close and introspective. It’s about discovering yourself, recognising what’s good for you and what’s not – it’s about learning curves.

Alongside the album announcement, Natalie has offered a taste of what’s to come with new single Heaven. Packing a rousing chorus and soaring vocals, Heaven will touch your heart with its stirring lyrics and powerful emotions. Explaining the track in further detail, Natalie reveals:

“When I go to heaven, will I remember how it feels?” ‘Heaven’ is a state of never forgetting how good or right something was, even if you’re viewing it through rose tinted shades, or in hindsight; even if it’s so overpowering it drags you right back to square one – back to that time and place.

“Today I took a walk on the wild side, such brave talk – I thought of you and the tiger died”. ‘Heaven’ is that safe place where you can envelop yourself with a memory – and although you might feel the ‘grown up’ thing to do is just move on – you’re spellbound by it.
