Natalie, a native of Houston, struck a chord with lovesick teenagers and pop fans via her wistful first single, "Goin' Crazy." The young Latina's self-titled debut disc proves she's no one-trick pony. The album is filled with pleasant pop hooks and light hip-hop touches that should find a comfortable home amid the sounds of Jennifer Lopez, Amerie, Ciara, and Destiny's Child. Natalie's voice is light and airy, but it works well amid the album's sugary lyrics and conveys just the right sense of girlish emotion. "Energy" is a smooth, summery duet with Baby Bash; "Better Get It Right" rides a groove that seems to draw inspiration from 1980s rock hits; and "I Can't Wait" is a modernized remake of the snappy Nu Shooz hit. Former Vi3 heartthrob and Making the Band finalist Justin Ronan also pops up during "Where Are You," a sweet puppy-love duet. This is hardly a groundbreaking affair, but it does position Natalie as a strong talent with lots of pontential and just the latest diva (Destiny's Child, Brooke Valentine) to break out of Houston's bustling music scene. --Joey Guerra

She has,
This review is from: Natalie (Audio CD)
This album is not bad, for a first attempt. This album is a little slow on the whole, but her own rapping adds a nice touch to a couple tarcks. Tracks incude:
Goin' Crazy: 4/5 Her only hit so far on this album. I suppose It's a good enough song, a bit slow for my taste. Energy: 5/5 I do not understand why this song is not a single! It's catchy, not fast, not slow, it's got a funky beat, and the verse from Baby Bash totally adds the perfect touch. MY FAVORITE SONG ON THE ALBUM!!! Better Get It Right: 4/5 This is one of the few fast songs on the album. I don't know who the guest rapper was, but he was a good addition to this track. I do like this song a lot, and I think this also should have been a single. Ooh: 2/5: What's to say? I'm sorry, but I think that altogether this song is kinda boring. One of the drags to the album. Slow, it may have been more interesting if she had added a bit of her rapping. You Don't Love Me No More: 4/5 This song is a little different from the other tracks on Natalie's album... bit of old school sound to it. It's alright. I gave it 4 out of 5 due to her exculent rapping in this song. I Can't Wait: 5/5 I love this song! It takes it's rightful place as the only "Club Hit" type track on the album, and it's just plane fun! Stay: 2/5 Basily the same as Ooh. I shall say no more. Something About You: 4/5 Quick, catchy, with a suspenseful opening. There isn't much to say, but it's a good song. You're The One: 3/5 It's slow, kinda nice. But again, there's really not much to say about it. Emptiness: 4/5 Slow, but a neat, echoy sound to it. And again, her rapping gives this song a higher ranking in my book. I think this is track perfect for making you deppressed on a rainy day. Where Are You: 5/5 Gives hope to all those who are still swinging single. Nice, warm sound to it. I like it. Me Faltas Tu: 4/5 Goin' Crazy in spanish, I think. I'm sure, mostly. It's pretty. Not much else to say. Over all, I think she has potental, But I hope her second album is better than this.

Great Album,

This cd is really quite good. She has a reasonably good voice and the music is catchy and fun. The first song 'crazy' is excellent and I wish for her it had been a bigger hit. The airplay in the States was good and here in Australia it was practically nill (one reason I love going to the States - to hear good music). Go get this album.
