Nathalie Miranda is a fully-fledged soul belter; a power-house vocalist with a stunning 4-octave range and a unique, soulful voice. This emerging artist is a force to be reckoned with. Hot on the heels of her single ‘Poltergeist’ earlier this year, new single ‘Catch-22’ is out now and available on all major download and streaming platforms.
Born in London to Greek-Cypriot parents, Nathalie was raised bilingually speaking Greek and English and is very proud of her Cypriot roots. Nathalie started piano lessons aged 6, but she always had a deeper connection to singing. However, being a shy kid, she always drew away from singing in public. Then, aged 15, on holiday with her parents, she decided to get up and sing ‘Hopelessly Devoted to You’ at a karaoke night. She remembers this as a turning point “I got up, took a deep breath, and sang (with my back turned to the audience) and I was so scared, but I got a great response and my parents were truly shocked. That was the start of it all really. I realised that I was going to be a singer, and I would do everything to make that happen.”
She is inspired by true legends, Freddie Mercury being her idol closely followed by Etta James, Aretha, Whitney, George Michael, Prince, Bruce Springsteen and Christina Aguilera. Nathalie also collaborates with other writers, and features as a vocalist on several House tracks. She also appeared on the BBC TV show ‘Later… with Jools’ in 2018 as a backing vocalist for the British band James. But her true ambition was to be an artist in her own right releasing her own music for the world to hear. Her first release was in 2017, an EP called ‘Bulletproof’, containing the songs ‘Red Light’, ‘Bulletproof’ and ‘We Got It Right’. The next single ‘Poltergeist’ was released in March 2020.
The new single ‘Catch-22’ is a completely different sound for Nathalie, and one that she feels reflects her love of soul and blues music, while still being a relatable, catchy, pop song. Musically, she wanted it to sound huge and quite sparse at the same time. The theme of the track is about a girl trying to work out whether she should listen to her heart or her head; she knows that her boyfriend has hurt her, but she just can’t live without him…hence ‘Catch-22’. The inspiration for the video came from the Bond movies: simple but powerful. The video conveys the frustration that the protagonist is feeling caught up in this seemingly impossible situation. Expect more from Nathalie in early 2021!
Catch-22 is out now on all major streaming platforms. Do connect with her on Instagram @nathaliemirandamusic to know more!
