The new single by Natalie Clark, “A Place Called Home,” takes one on a sonic adventure that follows the incredible journey of this Scottish singer from her native land to Los Angeles. The song opens with a dreamy, ringing ambiance, leading into a percussive, driving synth-pop soundscape. Light, flowing vocals from Natalie continue to dance through this musical landscape—gracefully unfolding all over the foundation, bringing forth the development of vocal control and power with which she takes us into an emotional and musical journey.
It’s quite an inspiring journey for Natalie Clark to be on that stage. It all started due to a spontaneous singing request from Sir Richard Branson himself at a BBC Radio 1 Academy event. The Scottish schoolteacher grabbed her chance, leaving everyone—including Branson—startled, with an original song called “Weakness.” That impromptu performance wowed the crowd and set her on a course from the classroom to a promising career in music.
“That was absolutely and utterly stunning,” Branson said. “No backing band, no musicians, no forewarning.” That chance meeting changed everything for Clark and proved a point that opportunities must be seized when they come. New headlines began to streak across the UK, and Clark gave up her teaching gig and her hometown of Scotland to head for the streets of sunny Los Angeles to pursue her musical dreams.
Ever since moving stateside, Natalie has quickly become quite the presence. She’s performed at festivals, on tour, and been named a Mercedes Benz KTLA “Artist to Watch,” which earned her big performances at LA’s marquee venues The Roxy and The Greek Theatre. Not to mention Grammy-winning powerhouses Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton, who took notice after Natalie was handpicked to open for their Voice co-star on tour, with the legendary Indigo Girls.
Life is so full of adventure for Natalie Clark that her music promises a journey every bit as compelling and inspiring as the woman herself; it will take listeners on such an exciting ride of their own. Take a look at the world from her eyes with “A Place Called Home,” where dreams are chased, opportunities seized, and home is where the music takes you.
