Natalie Patton was out of steam. she hadn’t written anything worth sharing in months while suffering under the hopelessness of quarantine with no end in sight. with nothing to lose, she decided to try something called personal accountability, and gave herself a challenge: write a song every day, record it for TikTok, and post it, no matter what. this exercise in letting go of perfection was a success: at the end of August, Natalie had written 30 songs, and remembered what drew her to music in the first place: telling stories. and damn, does she have some stories to tell. You can follow Natalie on all platforms at @nataliepattonmusic. natalie’s first single of 2021, COOL, is out MAY 11th! in this feel-good beachy bop, Natalie recounts her early-quarantine guilty pleasure of getting lost in the TikTok For You Page for hours on end. “Cool” is an indie-pop deep dive into her least favorite brand of social media influencers: TikTok boys. what’s the source of their hypnotic power? Is it their hair, their clothes, their parents’ credit cards? natalie takes aim at the superficial in hopes to provide some comfort to those who’ve fallen for Gen Z’s newest supervillains.
