My latest single "Pretty Lies" is coming OUT May 3rd!
Pre-Save Here: "Pretty Lies" by Natalie Joly
This song means a lot to me as an artist and as a person. I’ve always written songs about love, relationships, heartbreak, etc. Recently I’ve felt called to write about other topics that are important to me like psychology, human behavior, the state of the world, societal trends. I’ve written a few in this area but I wasn’t sure I was ready to share any of them with the world. After all, love songs seem to be the safer and more predictable route. But this song stood out to me so much musically, that I decided to rip off the bandaid and show another side of myself as an artist. Pretty Lies is about how much negativity and emotional overwhelm the world is going through right now and how it would be easier if we were just told “Pretty Lies” instead of being told the ugly truth. I hope this song makes people feel a little less lonely as they navigate remaining hopeful and positive within a world that seems intent to bring our spirits down.

My latest single "My Home" is OUT NOW!
Stream here: My Home by Natalie Joly
I actually wrote this song after watching a tv show so it technically has nothing to do with my own life, yet I resonate with it deeply. I'm one of those people that gets really invested in storylines, it's as if I'm actually going through what the characters are going through. I've been told this makes me an "empath", which I consider to be a blessing and a curse. But the cool thing about it is that it allows me to use inspiration from stories, books or tv shows to write music that I relate to, even when I haven't gone through it myself. Sometimes it's a good break to write about someone else's story rather than it always being about your own.
I'm super proud of the production and instrumentation on this song. The moment I wrote it I had a vision for the final result and got to work demoing all my ideas. On this song, all of those original ideas ended up in the final arrangement, which certainly doesn't always happen.
I'm really proud of this one and hope you all love "My Home" much as I do! Xo, Nat

New year, new music! 🤩 My latest single “Paint the Picture” is OUT NOW! Stream here: Paint the Picture by Natalie Joly
This song started out just as a fun passion project for myself and has turned into one of my favorite song productions I’ve ever done. I originally released this song 10 years ago (!!!) as a recording my brother and I did in my parents basement, turned it into an album, and sold out my high school auditorium to celebrate the release… the good ole days!
I was never really happy with how that recording came out but the song itself has always stuck with me. I started re-tracking it a few months ago just for fun and quickly decided I had to re-release it!! While in the throes of home renovations while my studio was completely torn apart, I was somehow able to get it done in time for its 10 year anniversary, and holyyy crap that makes me feel old!!! 😭
I’ve been doing music for a long time now and it’s always been really important to me to stay true to who I am as an artist, and I can’t think of a better way to kick off 2024 than by bringing one of my older songs that started my career back to life! For everyone who has been with me on this journey since Paint the Picture 1.0… I sincerely thank you 🙏🏼🤍
The last couple years I’ve been busy finding my footing here in the Nashville scene… as well as getting married, buying a house… allll the things, all at once. Through it all I’ve been writing and creating more than ever and this year my focus is to release as much of it as I can - starting right now! So cheers to a new year… let’s see what 2024 has in store 🤍

I loved creating this music video! I always have so much fun matching the energy and spirit of the song with the corresponding video and I'm so happy with how this one came out. I hope you all love it!

Natalie Joly's music is a mix of rock, country and pop. She grew up on classic rock n roll and was heavily influenced by bands like The Beatles, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, and Guns N Roses. As she got older she fell in love with Shania Twain and Taylor Swift, along with pop icons Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and Michael Jackson. Her music is filled with strummy guitars, booming drums, screaming melodic solos, and all the harmonies allowed. Is she rock, country or pop? The world may never know.
