Recorded in late 2007, With You is a diverse and dynamic
album rooted in classic pop and New Wave soundscapes. The
release comes on the heels of last year’s Urban Angel, Walker’s
debut that has become an indie favorite among electronic fans.
Urban Angel garnered critical acclaim and saw heavy rotation
at KCRW. Tracks were used a number of TV shows including
Entourage, Ugly Betty and Grey’s Anatomy and Director Sofia
Coppola heard the Thievery Corporation remix of Walker’s
single “Quicksand,” fell in love with it and included it in the
trailer for her film Marie Antoinette.
Armed with a voice that softly swirls and induces chills just
the same, the release finds Walker reuniting with the Brooklyn-
based production duo Stuhr (Mya, Nicole Atkins) who oversaw
production on her debut. As a result, With You doesn’t so much
depart from her debut as build on its strengths. It also reflects
Walker’s increasingly varied influences from the upbeat to
sublime and serious. From tracks like “Monarch,” “By and By”
and the first single, “Over and Under,” With You firmly establishes
Natalie Walker as one of the electronic genre’s brightest new
stars.
“Natalie has an intoxicating voice that draws listeners to it like
an addict’s drug of choice”—TRACE MAGAZINE

sensuality”—BILLBOARD MAGAZINE
