The concert promises a rich tapestry of melodies and harmonies that will transport you to a time when the world of classical music was the height of luxury.
One of the most captivating vocal talents to emerge in recent years, Natalie Jane makes the most intimate emotions feel larger-than-life. Thanks to massive hits like “AVA” and “Seven”—both featured on her 2023 debut EP Where Am I? (Capitol Music Group/10K Projects)— the New Jersey-raised, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter has amassed over 500 million combined global streams to date, all while selling out headline tours across the U.S. and Europe and taking the stage at major festivals like Lollapalooza. After reigning as one of the most viewed musical artists on TikTok in the U.S. last year and landing on GRAMMY.com’s list of “25 Rising Artists To Watch In 2024,” the 20-year-old pop sensation is gearing up to share a new body of work matching her powerhouse voice with both soulful sensitivity and unapologetic attitude—a dynamic she’s embodied since self-releasing her own music in high school.
With her fast-growing list of accolades including earning a nomination for the Social Star Award at the 2024 iHeart Radio Music Awards, Natalie’s latest output includes her summer 2024 single “Somebody to Someone (I Just Wanna Fall in Love)”: a heavy-hearted ballad that captures the infinitely relatable ache of longing for true love. Once again proving the tremendous resonance of her songwriting, teaser videos for the gorgeously soaring track surpassed 25 million combined views and inspired over 13,000 creations on TikTok, where Natalie’s down-to-earth presence and magnetic personality have built an extraordinarily close connection with her legion of fans.
“In general, I want my music to be something for people to put on in the car when they’re feeling upset and need some kind of outlet to scream along to,” says Natalie. “I want every song to be a therapy session.”
