Natalie Bergman

Natalie Bergman is back and just in the nick of time. The velvet voiced songstress who set the world a-smoulder with her gospel drenched debut “Mercy” (Third Man, 2022), fans the flame with her new knock-out super disc “My Home is Not in this World,” ( Third Man July 2025) and we can only say “burn, baby, burn!” The title lays it on the table; “My Home is Not in this World” is an album that addresses the sense of exile — aesthetic, political, and emotional — in the contemporary context. This record is an outsider. It’s got hooks, charm, wit, & might even whisper in your ear to tell you things will be alright. Natalie Bergman lives in Los Angeles but her music is universal; it lives in the hearts and minds and souls of her fellow travelers; born again believers in love, joy, and music’s role as guiding light and lightning rod. Her new record is a transmission, a clarion call to all those disaffected by the digital morass; looking for their kin. Blues, gospel, folk, soul, country, rock ’n’ roll – the best byproducts of the USA –compressed into bite sized salves to heal the angst and loneliness that haunt the modern psyche; smooth as silk electro-shock to chase off alienation. - Ian Svenonius
