It's no secret that I love RAC remixes. Somehow they always manage to add the right amount of flavor to songs and their mix is usually my favorite in the package. Have a listen to what they've done with Natalie Walker 's Cool Kids. Click here for the free download and check out the original song below.

Actually, this isn't very cool of me. It's simply demonstrating what D calls my weakness for wailing women. Natalie Walker gives a detached smooth vocal with handclaps and RAC give it an 80s electro pop base. Sorry. I like it. Listen and download. Blurb: Natalie Walker’s EP “Spark” was released today and is currently featured on iTunes. Natalie’s song “Mars” from the EP is also available for free download from Soundcloud . Tracks from the album are already picking up spins from the likes of Tiesto, Jason Bentley, Morgan Page, and David Waxman. [...]

After "Urban Angel" and "With You," Colorado pop singer Natalie Walker returns this month with her new album "Spark." Walker's music packs an emotive quality that has been featured on popular TV shows like Ugly Betty, Bones and Smallville. Walker teamed up with her longtime collaborators Dan Chen and Nate Greenber, producers Stuhr (Mya, Nicole Atkins, Bebel Gilberto), and Ted Bruner (Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Plain White T) to craft the delicate, yet adventurous pop that is featured on "Spark." A press release explains that, "the music occupies a sweet spot between pop and electronica, incorporating [...]

I was first introduced-sorry, introduuced to Indiana-born singer Natalie Walker back in 2006. Formerly a member of the trip-hop troupe Daughter Darling , Walker debuted amongst a surge of fellow indie-pop songstresses that dominated the blogosphere (not to mention the soundtracks of nearly every trendy television show of the time, including Grey's Anatomy , Ugly Betty and The OC )-songstresses like Imogen Heap , Rachael Yamagata and Bat For Lashes . Her 2006 solo debut, Urban Angel was a stunning showcase [...]
We've been fans of trip-hop songstress Natalie Walker for a few years, catching her live at various clubs in New York and Philly. Her music is cool to the sonic touch -- almost icy -- but songs like "Quicksand" (her biggest and best track) have found a few rays of warmth inside that beating electronica heart. Witness "Mars", a track from her forthcoming May 17 album Spark and a song that's already getting some solid support from a few of the trendy tastemakers at KCRW. Let's just say that this isn't impassioned [...]

Blue Foundation - Eyes on Fire "And just in time In the right place Suddenly I will play my ace" I purchased the Twilight soundtrack before I watched the movie. Fanatic i know But it was a great purchase! I don't know how much the songs fit the movie, some did perfectly, but I must say this song was my favorite off the whole album. It has this soothing effect when I listen to it, and it makes me think about Twilight that always gives me fuzzy feelings anyways [...]

As promised, here is the official soundtrack of the 4th season of Grey's Anatomy. Other than Grey's Anatomy, other hit shows like Gossip Girl, Chuck, Fringe, Glee, Dollhouse, One Tree Hill, Ugly Betty, House and many more. You've got to give a hand to the music supervisors of these shows for their success. The music is not perfect, but it's certainly entertaining. The show goes mostly for indie favorites like The National, Ingrid Michaelson, The Gossip, Tegan and Sara, The Bird and the Bee, Bon Iver, Feist, Goldfrapp, Rilo Kiley, Frightened Rabbit, The Republic Tigers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more. [...]

So, yes, it's Valentine's Day. While I'm usually very bitter on this day for being without a Valentine, this year is actually different. This year, I actually have a Valentine -- although I will not see said Valentine because of work obligations, but whatever. I put together this list over here for my real life job and I figured I'd let the blog readers get in on it too. Here is a list of sappy and upbeat Valentine's Day songs put into a heart-shaped mixtape. Patty Griffin - Heavenly Day [...]

I have a new crush. Have you ever seen The Late, Late Show With Craig Ferguson ? You haven't? Oh, you should. He's sooooooo cute. And funny. And delightfully silly and self-deprecating. I'm willing to bet that if you watch him you'll fall for him too--man, woman or child. Honestly, he's that endearing. Did I mention he's from Scotland? Yep, he is. Now try to resist him! I've always had a thing for goofy guys (Will Ferrell, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, [...]

Gossip Girl beats 90210 once again and I'm quickly running out of reasons to keep this thing going. Gossip Girl has displayed a menagerie of great music in the past - however, New Haven Can Wait 's musical playlist feels a little dull. One beautiful gem almost smothered by the selection of lackluster songs, is the Section Quartet 's arrangement of my favorite Muse song, "Time Is Running Out." This song alone is worth voting for Gossip Girl . [...]

With our Fightin' Phils getting ready for their World Series games, we thought we would spread some of our excitement as well as spread some of the Philadelphia music talent with a playlist. Unfortunately, Survivor and Bon Jovi didn't make it, but I am sure Fox will play the heck out of them. GO PHILLIES!!!

Vor sechs Jahren liess Natalie Walker mit dem triphoppigen "Sweet Shadows" als Daughter Darling aufhorchen, auf einen Nachfolger wartet man seither vergebens. Trotzdem (oder grad deswegen) ist sie inzwischen allerwelts Liebli ng. Unter dem Etikett Daughter Darling vermischte sich Walkers Erfahrung als Folk- und Funk-Sängerin mit der HipHop- und Drum'n'Bass-Affinität der Gebrüder Fogelman zu einem bemerkenswerten Debut, das mit deepen Downbeats, sphärisch-melancholischem Kolorit und einer beseelten Stimme die Herzen in TripHop-Kreisen höher schlagen liess. Was 2002 nach dem Abflauen der grossen TripHop-Welle eine kleine Auffrischung brachte, hat sich inzwischen leider zu einem Geplätscher in seichtem Pop-Gewässer abgeschwächt. Denn das Projekt wurde für unbestim mte Zeit auf Eis gelegt und Natalie Walker aus "Philly" widmete [...]

Hands down, this has been one of the better weeks of shows and the weekend line-up does not lose any steam. A few bands are pulling double duty this weekend.

What a week. Even though it's been a day "shorter" than normal due to our Labor Day, it seems like last friday was ages ago. I've gotten little to no sleep all week, and my only requirement for the weekend is to finally get some good shut-eye. I haven' tblogged much this week either, not because I was too busy or too tired (though, I was). Rather, because there just wasn't all that much that peaked my interest. I know, there was surely something I could have blogged about, but I didn't. My appoligies to anyone who really wanted to [...]

Former Daughter Darling vocalist Natalie Walker is back with her sophomore solo effort With You . The new disc builds on the trippy pop sound of Walker's debut Urban Angel . Overall, With You is a bit more solid and upbeat than the more melancholy breeze that was Urban Angel . While songs like the opener "Lost My Shadow" and the title track are synth laden atmospheric vignettes, Natalie's voice has a more prominent place in the arrangements that it did on her [...]

It's often said that the true test of an artist's worth arrives on their second album, when they have to prove that their first was no fluke. By that measure, Natalie Walker has succeeded wildly with her sophomore effort With You , a startling maturation from the former lead singer of Daughter Darling.
