About this item

Nonesuch Records will release Natalie Merchant's 2014 self-titled album.The recording is the multi-platinum singer's sixth solo collection, and her first of entirely original songs in 13 years.This self-produced album is the work of a mature artist with a clear and distinctive voice. Long appreciated for the depth and substance of her writing, Merchant has never shied away from weighty themes or subjects for her lyrics. She describes the new release as informed "by experience and keen observation," dealing with issues of "love gained and lost, regret, denial, surrender, greed, destructiveness, defeat, and occasional triumph."Combining three decades of experience in song writing and album making, Merchant's production style is nuanced and pure.
