Description
Nat Bartsch releases a long awaited follow up to her popular lullaby album Forever, and No Time At All. While this previous release was focussed on soothing parents and children, Forever Changed explores neurodivergent sensory needs in music.
Recorded at home, often with her 7yo son sleeping down the hall, the album celebrates Nat’s discovery of her autistic/ADHD identity in her late 30’s, and reflects upon the enormous changes that have occurred in her life since: divorce, new love and a new family. Forever Changed is released on 15 November on Nat’s own record label for ‘kind’ music, Amica Records.
The album showcases a development of Nat’s inimitably lyrical, emotive sound and her increasing confidence as a producer. Forever Changed’s vast, ethereal sound-world is brought to life by upright piano, harp, strings, ambient electronics and synthesizers. The album will be released in atmos, and performed in live surround sound with video projections.
Nat is well known for creating meditative music at the intersection of several genres, with a community-minded focus. Her music supports many people through difficult or meaningful moments – such as early parenthood, mental and physical illness, grief, childbirth and death.
Nat defines a lullaby as “a soothing song that first began in a family environment, but that any person, young or old, can find solace within”. Forever Changed is a much anticipated follow up to Nat’s 2018 lullaby album Forever, and No Time At All. This album has had a substantial impact – receiving more than 10 million streams on Spotify, played by people from all walks of life on a daily basis. While her first lullabies were focussed on soothing babies and their parents, Forever Changed is focussed on reaching the neurodivergent community (as well as being music for all).
