I first heard of Natalie’s music one Sunday morning on NPR. She has a brand new EP with 4 stunning tracks based around soothing jazz vocals and backing instruments. Many international Jazz critics have been reviewing her music with appraisal.

And after hearing “Believe in Love” I was quick to review her style as well. It is a refreshing smooth tone with piano notes ringing in the background. 3 out of the 4 songs on her EP were written by Natalie herself, with the exception of “Corcovado” which is a Latin standard piece by Antonio Carlos Jobim.

There was another interesting article posted to All About Jazz which gives a quick review of the album. Each of the tracks is so unique and worth a deeper look. But the final statement in this article really hits it home.

EP’s tease with a taste of what a longer format could offer. Dietz is smart to use this shorter form as it presents a concentrated version of her overall approach and vision. In the clotted deluge of jazz vocals, Dietz’s offering floats to the top by virtue of its light touch and grace.

In 2009 Natalie was accepted into the jazz vocal program at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Four years later in 2012 Natalie graduated with a Bachelor of Music and has since been performing at many popular jazz establishments.

To learn more you should check out Natalie Dietz’s website and skim a few pages. There is a small music player on the site where you can stream a couple of the tracks. Additionally you could stream her tracks directly from SoundCloud where she also has a profile.

Any fans of jazz will most likely enjoy her music. But even if you have never listened to jazz before, the track “Believe in Love” is a fantastic song for delving into the genre. Of course you can stream this online or pick up her EP off iTunes or CD Baby. I really look forward to any other work Natalie can release in the future.
