Natalie Jane Hill Announces Hopeful Woman
It seems like just yesterday that Natalie Jane Hill was wowing us with Azalea, her debut LP when she was in the Austin area. Here we are a few years later, and she’s got her third LP on deck, along with a new place to call home. It took me less than 20 seconds to fall in love with this single, as her heavy notes breathed life through my speakers. When her voice stretches for higher notes, there’s a lonesome bit of guitar hanging out in the distance, providing its own lonesome narrative to balance Natalie’s performance. As spirited as the first 2 minutes are, Hill switches it in the back 45 seconds, letting the thematic element of “never left me” dwell in the presence of the listener’s brain. Really excited ot hear more from Hopeful Woman, out via Dear Life Records on January 26.
