The sinister new release showcases the alt-pop artist at her very best
Latest Natalie single ‘Evil’ is a track that has a soundscape and beat that truly lives up to the name, giving off sinister vibes while continuing to establish the artist’s fiercely cutting edge and distinctive sound.
Everything her from her icy vocal performance to the aforementioned sound creates this atmospheric feeling of intensity, making for an immersive listening experience that leaves you transfixed throughout its duration. The devastating mix of alt-pop and hip-hop sensibilities makes for a sound that feels uncompromisingly sharp-edged and modern, melding an uncomfortable sense of darkness with an infectious catchiness that feels impossible to ignore or resist.
Evil’s lyrics cleverly satirize the notion of sapphic desire as sinful, adopting almost a demonic perspective to mock societal norms. “There aren’t enough songs about lesbian hook-up culture or the environment and factors surrounding it. Sure, sapphic love songs have their place, but not everything is about love, and I wanted to focus on the messy and chaotic reality outside of that.”
