she changed my life, gave me the music i always looked for and i’m forever grateful

[@progger86]

I love it when that happens. . .

[@sergiogutierrez5172]

Same

[@sofiarosales9509]

same. i love her sm

[@Luke-cp2jz]

If you’d like more music like her, I’m not sure if you’ve heard of the artist Karen Carpenter of The Carpenters. The group or her solo work is beautiful and she has a very close voice to Natalie of Weyes Blood. She reminds me of Karen so much

[@MrPanacea999]

I would turn into foam for Weyes Blood

[@mrlozano]

Tremendous person. Old soul, genuine. Really admire her music. Hope she continues to be able to do what she loves. We are all the more blessed for it!

[@sergiom5907]

I could watch her talk for hours

[@paulwallpd]

Lol everybody in the comments tryna take natalie on a date

[@uriyaba7335]

Can you blame them?

[@MercurialSilence]

She can get it. And by get it, I mean a nice dinner and some pleasant conversation.

[@penclaw]

i am not one of them, don't get me wrong i respect her person and love the music she making but she has that kind of RBF (resting bitch face) and is very similar to a girl i used to know and it just works on me negatively, peace

[@laug1576]

Bad news :(

[@KeyboardistMonster]

Lol, as if the academy would ever appreciate that

I'm not Natalie's brother, but I'm a Brotha that loves Natalies's music!!!

[@johanusyolder]

This is hilarious

[@gustavosousa473]

Every time I listen to any inverview she gives, I always feel this sort of pensive, thoughtful aura that she has... I'm happy that I've found her music and that we (hopefully) will see a lot from her during many years to come!

[@orc121498]

We are not worthy to stand in the face of such beauty and talent, perfection

[@daleharrison4747]

Gotta love the way she speaks

[@MattieCooper10000]

When hearing Weyes Blood for the first time, I felt right away she embodies this ancient soul of a Dark Baroque Queen and now that I see her in the flesh it's like I knew her in that past life.

[@gintuner4371]

cringe.. geez, talk about idolisation

[@MrsP474]

I don't think that's cringe or idolising at all. I think it's a great expression of thoughts!

[@willowufgood261]

🙄

[@jaymilli4really534]

Truth and honesty is what I’m getting from her, what a genuine person! Soon to get recognition I’m sure, but don’t think that’s what she’s after. New album was a blast and gave da feels.

[@reneedevlugt2995]

I like this interviewer, they listen to her answers and respond quite well :)

[@aninhamft]

Her eloquence and determination are so inspiring!

[@caricaturafea453]

La amo. Lo mejor que he escuchado en años. merece más reconocimiento. Es una genia

[@lfietime1234]

shes everything to me

[@tylergriffith5915]

She is tapped into such an interesting philosophical perspective on modern love.

[@alpineareas8629]

great interviewer and she responded accordingly. Great interview.

[@avis5etoiles517]

En ces temps présents, où tout n'est qu'urgence et compétition, Weyes Blood cherche le réconfort dans les sons des années 70. Elle évoque des tonalités de la pop baroque de ces années sur un album foisonnant d'émotions intenses sur une production immaculée. Titanic Rising est le quatrième album de Weyes Blood, et son premier sur le label Sub Pop. Cet album superpose des synthés, de l'orgue, des cordes, du piano, des percussions douces, de la guitare acoustique ou électrique dans le style de George Harrison pour des harmonies riches. L'ensemble d'instruments se combine pour faire écho aux inspirations de la chanteuse tout en dégageant toujours un sentiment de modernité. Pour la plupart, les paroles de Titanic Rising sont centrées sur des thèmes romantiques doux-amers. Un bon exemple en est le single "Andromeda", intemporel. Il existe également une exploration du désir spirituel sur le puissant et explosif "something to belive". Et l'intimidant "Picture Me Better". Titanic Rising s'ouvre tendrement sur "A Lot's Gonna Change" une lettre destinée à soi même plus jeune. Dès le début donc, les mélodies élaborées de cette piste et de nombreuses autres offrent une satisfaction immédiate à l'auditeur. Le joyeux et ensoleillé "Everyday" a un charme irrésistible. La douceur de la chanson est amplifiée par les applaudissements des mains, la ligne de basse toute en groove et les harmonies. Puis plus tard, plus loin, Après un intermède de sythé, l’album plonge dans un arpège dense sur la piste cinématographique «Movies». La voix de Weyes Blood en vient à évoquer l'idée de nostalgie et la façon dont les films présentent un récit trompeur des expériences vécues à l'âge adulte. Alors que les films ne parviennent pas à capturer la profondeur des expériences vraies, le grand écran a cependant tout son attrait et nous permet à tous de nous décrire comme les protagonistes de nos propres histoires. "Mirror Fever" continue sur la même voie introspective, alors que l'auteure réfléchit à la pression qui pèse sur le succès de nombreuses personnes. Dans "Wild Time", Weyes Blood tente de capturer la gravité épique de notre époque et, bien que la chanson ne soit pas tout à fait en mesure de résumer l'ambiance de notre temps elle chante avec une urgence qui donne l'impression qu'elle se produit alors que le monde brûle autour d'elle. Il est difficile de ne pas être pris par la composition subtile, les arrangements élégants et le ton songeur et nostalgique de Titanic Rising. Weyes Blood a composé son meilleur travail à ce jour et peut-être quotté comme l'un des meilleurs albums de toute l'année 2019.

[@styoless414]

She has more wisdom than most older people

Wow, she is quite an observant individual. So much respect for her perspective and intellect

[@astrorobinson3716]

She’s a true artist. And SOO gorgeous.

[@PhenHarrison]

I’m a new fan. I love the first two songs on Titanic Rising and Movies a lot!

[@Hardbody94]

thought provoking responses. She's intelligent and her music is amazing. There's a level of maturity from her that is inspiring. I liked what she said about relationships in our current generation, definitely not like our parents.

[@flipeman]

Please, keep up composing worried more about melody than lyrics. "Andromeda" is a masterpiece of melody, harmony and lyrics, and I'm not the only one who'd like to listen more of that A#m/E (I'm not sure) transitions.

[@littlepigboy]

She def sets up great tension and resolution within the same moment in Andromeda. I love that song so much.

[@boggy.subtitulos]

She's the love of my life omg

[@OMGIGILY]

Love her so much, i loved getting to know her a little thru this interview. Wish the interviewer was better though

[@owenhu9465]

I thought the interviewer was very good. I mean, sure, his english wasn't the best but the questions were meaningful and engaging, and he added the right amount of his own perspective to not sound interrogative.

She seems tired, probably during tour I guess. My mom said her music remind of when she was 15 and her cousin brought a lot of records and playing everything. I think it’s 70’s
