Press reviews: "This ladies voice is note perfect. For the life of me, alongside any other current female on the chart right now, Natalie maintains the standard. If this is her audition, then she has Mariah, Whitney, Alicia potential. Sorry for sounding amazed, but considering the indie nature of this release ... what are the majors A&R Directors doing out there?" Paul Cashmere - Executive Producer, Undercover Music Entertainment Zone / Australia (Excerpt from "Let The Candle Burn" album review) "A beautiful melody, solid production, strong vocals, and introspective life examining lyrics all add up to a strong Top 40 candidate for the Contemporary Urban chart." -Shawn Rhodes, WBAI 99.5 FM, NYC (Review of "Confused") "Natalie Brown is the real deal. As I listened I just nodded quietly to myself chanting, 'yes, yes, yes...' This is quality music...this is what CHR is all about. This is good, quality music for any genre... I'm sold!" -Clint Gaige, Author, Music Critc. (Excerpt from a review of "You Pierced My Soul") "'Run Away' is a mainstream top 40 hit contender. Natalie Brown is a hit contender. Natalie Brown’s 'Run Away' should be getting major label distribution and airplay promotion. She’s got the look, the sound, the writing skill, the arranging, the production … this is the total package folks. This song brings a huge smile to my face." - Chris Kresge, Music Critic.
