Breathtaking pop songwriter Natalie Carr returns with latest anthem ‘Scraped Knees’
Continuing to turn heads within the industry, Natalie Carr could easily be an overnight sensation, and you heard it here first.
Back with her most vibrant track to date, ‘Scraped Knees’ is an alternative pop number with fragrances of R&B throughout.
Produced by John McCall ‘J-Mac’ and Dillon Lawter, the songstress is certainly in fine company on the iconic release.
Explaining her thoughts on ‘Scraped Knees’, Natalie Carr states, “Honestly, Scraped Knees was one of those songs I wrote that just kind of came out of me. I wasn’t looking to write about any particular thing or any given concept, and I remember free-styling parts of it (as I’ve done with several other songs).
As the lyrics came together though, and I began to structure it, I knew it was about the futility of trying to please other people. In the first verse, I talk about getting sober and making tons of changes for a relationship that inevitably failed.
It’s almost as if you become the person you think you need to be in a bad relationship just so that you can stay together, but as we are well aware, that doesn’t work. I wrote the hook, ‘scraped knees, jagged teeth, bloodshot baby’ about being emotionally broken and exhausted due to the stresses of preserving a bad relationship and being someone you’re not.
‘Don’t you worry about me… you never worried about me’ is in reference to (said person) coming back into your life at an opportune moment.”
A track that more a less wrote itself within a short amount of time, ‘Scraped Knees’ is assertive and armed with layers of personality.
Sassy and empowering, this is the type of songwriter you’d want your kids to look up to.
‘Scraped Knees’ is out worldwide today, and it’s the most important track you’ll hear all week.
