Single Review of Natalie Joly: “In Time”

Regular Blog readers are aware of the talents of rock/country singer-songwriter Natalie Joly. Well, she only keeps getting better. Of course, Natalie’s gravelly, rich vocals still crack oh-so-engagingly during the emotional spots. And on “In Time,” there are plenty of those! This is a smooth ballad – perfect for a country slow dance and reminiscent for me in emotion and tempo of what I might expect from the Garth Brookses of the country world, full of power and painful reminiscence. So what did I mean about getting better? Well, I’ve always enjoyed Natalie’s songwriting, but “In Time” levels up in terms of word and phrase choice, which result in a similar level-up of emotion.

Have you given this song a listen yet? Once you do, if you didn’t know before, oh my god, what a voice, am I right? The moment you hear it, you know it’s Natalie!

Keep an eye out for new releases by Mrs. Natalie Joly Labo! (Her Spotify account, at least, appears to be transitioning to her married name, so if you can’t find her under one name, try the other.) In addition, you can always see what Natalie’s up to on her socials, which you can find via her linktree.
