Known for her haunting yet uplifting alt-pop, Natalie Holmes is a songwriter whose music will resonate deeply with all identifying as a cerebral wanderer. Over the past decade, she’s carved a path as an independent artist who consistently pushes the boundaries of songwriting and self-production, constantly balancing on the edge of the box to establish a sound that’s evocative yet remains comforting; and questioning everything along the way.
Natalie’s journey began in 2010, when she uploaded grainy YouTube videos of her songs, quickly gaining a following for her raw, poetic lyricism and honey-toned vocals. She has since released numerous EPs, singles, and her debut album, Vitamin Be (2022), all of which reflect her unwavering commitment to honesty and vulnerability. Vitamin Be explored themes of mental health, self-reflection, and the profound effects of nature, with the album’s self-produced soundscape capturing the complex and contradictory nature of modern life. It received glowing praise from BBC Radio 2, BBC 6, Clash, and EARMILK, with Tom Robinson calling it “fresh, adventurous, really assured."
