Lafourcade's voice has been categorized as a lyric soprano.
Lafourcade was born in Mexico City, Mexico, surrounded by music and art. Her father is the Chilean musician Gastón Lafourcade who had French parents and her mother is the pianist María del Carmen Silva Contreras. Her uncle is the Chilean writer Enrique Lafourcade, a representative of the so-called "Generation of the 50s". She attended Instituto Anglo Español, a Catholic middle school, and studied painting, flute, theater, music, acting, piano, guitar, saxophone and singing. When she was 10, Natalia sang in a Mariachi group.
She grew up in Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico, where she studied music with her mother, María del Carmen Silva Contreras, imitating artists such as Gloria Trevi and Garibaldi. Her mother studied piano with a specialty in musical pedagogy and is the creator of the Macarsi Method for musical training and personal development for children and educators. She adapted and practiced the method with Natalia to help her rehabilitate through music following a head injury from being kicked by a horse.
When she was 17, Loris Ceroni gave Lafourcade the opportunity to be in a pop/rock group under his guidance. Lafourcade was hesitant, and Ceroni instead encouraged her to become independent. Lafourcade produced her first LP under the label of Sony Music. It was recorded in Italy and was cowritten with Aureo Baqueiro. Sabo Romo played in 2 songs. Natalia Lafourcade is a mix of pop, rock, bossa-nova and Latin rhythms. It features the songs "Busca Un Problema", "Elefantes", "Te Quiero Dar", "Mírame, Mírate", and her biggest hit, "En El 2000".
In 2005, she released Casa, her second album, but this time as Natalia y La Forquetina, the name of her band. Produced mostly by Café Tacuba's Emmanuel del Real, Casa presents a more mature, rock-oriented sound while retaining pop and bossa-nova influences on a few tracks, such as lead single "Ser Humano" (pop-rock) and its follow-up "Casa" (pop-bossa-nova). Aureo Baqueiro returned to produce the few tracks not produced by del Real. More than a year after Natalia departed from La Forquetina, she recorded an instrumental album called The 4 Seasons of Love under Sony BMG label. She also wrote the Lyrics for "Tú y Yo" from Ximena Sariñana's self-titled album.
In 2009, she released the album Hu Hu Hu, a top 10 album in Mexico. The album was produced by Emmanuel del Real (who produced "Casa" in 2005), Marco Moreno and Ernesto García. It was nominated for Best female Pop Vocal Album at the 2009 Latin Grammy Awards (won by Laura Pausini) and Best Latin Pop album at the 2010 Grammy Awards (won by La Quinta Estación). Club Fonograma also named the album the second best of 2009, and the seventh best of the decade.
In 2012, she released a tribute album to Agustín Lara called Mujer Divina.
Her next album, Hasta La Raíz, was released in March 2015. "Nunca Es Suficiente" (It's Never Enough), the first single off the album, was released on 10 February. The track "Hasta La Raíz" was No. 5 of the Viral 50 Global Spotify Chart and the No. 1 on the Viral 50 México chart.
In 2017, she recorded "Remember Me" as a duet with contemporary R&B singer Miguel for the credits of the movie Coco, and together they also performed the song at the 90th Academy Awards ceremony.
2020 saw her release the eponymous Un Canto por México, Vol. 1.

El Balajú / Serenata Huasteca
Natalia Lafourcade & Los Cojolites Lyrics
Balajú se fue a la guerra
Y no me quiso llevar
Y no me quiso llevar
Balajú se fue a la guerra
Le dijo a su compañera
Vámonos a navegar
A ver quién llega primero
Al otro lado del mar
Ariles y más ariles
Ariles del carrizal
Ara al agua su caballo
No se le apiaba el de arriba
Ariles y más ariles
Ariles del carrizal
Me picaron las abejas
Pero me comí el panal
Ariles, muy bien ariles
Ariles de la ensenada
Yo también fui marinero
De agua dulce y salada
Ariles, muy bien ariles
Ariles del mar adentro
No sigo ninguna seña
Va libre mi pensamiento
Ariles, muy bien ariles
No sabemos dónde están
En toda la tierra entera
Son tiempos de oscuridad
Ariles, muy bien ariles
Sonido de tu sandalia
Cuando caminas, bonita
Mi amada y dulce Natalia
Les presento a una muchacha
Que su esencia es de luz
Cara linda, lindos ojos
Y viene de Veracruz
Con su voz y su guitarra
Siempre trae felicidades
Recibamos con aplausos
A Natalia Lafourcade
Que me gusta el balajú
Nada más por su sonido
Nada más por su sonido
Que me gusta el balajú
También el pájaro cu
Y el de la cinta morada
Pero más mi Veracruz
Tierra de linda llamada
Ariles y más ariles
Ariles de aquel que fue
A darle agua a su caballo
Y se le murió de sed
Ariles y más ariles
Ariles del carrizal
Me picaron las abejas
Pero me comí el panal
¡Ay ay!
Canto al pie de tu ventana
Pa que sepas que te quiero
Tú a mí no me quieres nada
Pero yo por ti me muero
Dicen que ando muy errado
Que despierte de mis sueños
Pero se han equivocado
Porque yo he de ser tu dueña
Qué voy a hacer
Si de veras te quiero
Ya te adoré
Y olvidarte no puedo
Dicen que pa conseguirte
Necesito una fortuna
Que debo bajar del cielo
Las estrellas y la luna
Yo no bajaré la luna
Ni las estrellas tampoco
Y aunque no tengo fortuna
Me querrás poquito a poco
Qué voy a hacer (y qué voy a hacer)
Si de veras te quiero (si de veras te quiero)
Ya te adoré (yo ya te adoré)
Y olvidarte no puedo (y olvidarte no puedo)
Qué voy a hacer (y qué voy a hacer)
Si de veras te quiero (si de veras te quiero)
Ya te adoré (yo ya te adoré)
Y olvidarte no puedo (y olvidarte no puedo)
