Versatile Haitian American Singer/Songwriter Natalie Jean
Releases New Country Single “What Would You Do For Love?
Natalie Jean is a very rare kind of vocalist – Winning recognition across the most diverse of musical genres and quite comfortable performing in English, French, and Creole.
What Would You Do For Love? Wins a Silver Medal in the 2019 Global Music Awards in the category of Social Impact and Female Vocalist!
Natalie Jean is excited to announce the much-anticipated release of her Country single, titled, “What Would You Do For Love? Produced by Alexi Von Guggenberg, is readily available for purchase nationwide at the iTunes Store, Amazon.com, Google Play, and various digital online stores.
“What You Do For Love?” is a close to perfection as it gets-not a note is wasted, not a verse senseless, overlong or discordant; each bar is crafted, skilfully put together by an artist and production crew, who know something about their work, which regrettably seems rare these days.
The lyrics are meaningful, poignant, and urgent; the song displays a powerful sense of social awareness as Natalie Jean understands that emotion, without subsequent action, is as tenuous as vapor.
