JD signed with EMI Music US Latin in November 2003 at the age of 15. Her debut album, Imperfecta/Imperfect, is a predominantly Spanish record which includes three English tracks, all penned by the young singer-songwriter. Not only does she write her own songs, but she plays a mean guitar and takes inspiration from Nirvana, Bob Marley and Enrique Bunbury. The debut was greeted with much fanfare by the media and critics (the Miami Herald declared it the best Latin album of the year of 2004, for instance), and it was indeed an impressive debut. Before the album was even recorded, she managed to grab the attention of the AOL. They created Impulsa, a program built around her, which is the Latin version of Breakers (the same program that helped launch Avril Lavigne and Michelle Branch). They also recorded AOL Sessions, where JD's cover of Outkasts' "Hey Ya" debuted top 10 on their General Market chart in front of artists such as Alicia Keys, Lenny Kravitz and the Beastie Boys.
In addition, she caught the eye of MTV US by grabbing a spot not only as an Advanced Warning artist in August 2004 but also on Discover & Download in February 2005. Natasha made the cover of Maxim en Espanol in October of 2005 at 17 years old and caused many waves by being the youngest girl to pose for the elite Mens magazine.
Most recently, she garnished three Latin Grammy nominations: Best New Artist, Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song for Lagrimas. All of this before the age of 18! With plans to record a follow up album in English, the future looks bright for this rising star.
Imperfect
JD Natasha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the same as it was two minutes ago
Dirty and unclean
Not the way my mother wanted it to be
Sometimes I wish I was responsible
But then I can't admit I'm not responsible
[chorus]
What if people, schoolmates would appreciate my presence?
What if I wouldn't scream in public?
Don't give a damn about the price or brand names
I always write all over my shoes and never tie my shoelace
Always feeling high, losing sense of time
Drunk off my imperfections, I never feel alright
[chorus] (3x)
In JD Natasha's song "Imperfect," she expresses her dissatisfaction with herself and the way she presents herself in the world. The lyrics start with her describing her messy room, which is not up to her mother's standards. She wishes she could be responsible for herself, but at the same time, she doesn't want to admit that she isn't responsible. This could reflect a struggle with maturity and accepting oneself for who they are.
In the chorus of the song, JD Natasha wonders what it would be like if she were perfect. She wants to know if people would appreciate her presence and if she could stop yelling in public. This suggests that she feels embarrassed by her behavior and feels like she doesn't fit in.
Later in the song, JD Natasha sings about how she doesn't care about the price or brand names of her belongings. She writes all over her shoes and never ties her shoelaces. She also admits to feeling high and losing sense of time, which could be interpreted as a reference to drug use or escapism. JD Natasha sings about being "drunk off my imperfections," indicating that she doesn't feel like she is enough and tries to avoid her problems through various means. The song ends with the chorus repeated three times, suggesting that the topic of perfection and self-acceptance is something that JD Natasha struggles with continuously.
Line by Line Meaning
Walk into my room
Come into my personal space
It's the same as it was two minutes ago
It hasn't changed since you last saw it
Dirty and unclean
Scattered and unorganized
Not the way my mother wanted it to be
Not meeting someone else's expectations
Sometimes I wish I was responsible
Occasionally, I desire to be more mature
But then I can't admit I'm not responsible
It's hard to acknowledge the truth that I'm not mature
What if I were perfect?
How would things be different if I were flawless?
What if people, schoolmates would appreciate my presence?
Would my peers show me more gratitude if I were better?
What if I wouldn't scream in public?
How would things change if I didn't behave so recklessly?
Don't give a damn about the price or brand names
I don't care about expensive or fashionable things
I always write all over my shoes and never tie my shoelace
I express myself by vandalizing my footwear and disregarding practicality
Always feeling high, losing sense of time
I continuously indulge in distractions to escape reality
Drunk off my imperfections, I never feel alright
I'm constantly intoxicated by my flaws and never content

Brings back many memories. JD natasha was a breath of fresh air back in 2004-2005. I loved the fact that she sang in Spanish and English when back then no one else did. JD also sang live and wrote her own music which was and is still unheard of. Powerful voice and relatable lyrics. Imperfect was and still is an amazing record.

It's surprising that she has not achieved the level of success that others have reached with half the talent. She must have refused to sell her soul like many others and that, my friends, is what makes her person even greater.

Natasha, si lees esto... VUELVE!
Cuánto talento. Una pena que no volviéramos a saber nada de ella como solista.
Estuve un tiempo siguiendo a su banda "Fancy Me Yet" y de verdad que me encantó.
Creo que cualquier cosa que Natasha haga es puro arte ❤️

The talent she has it’s insane. And probably wasn’t supported by a label

Un gran talento me atreveria a decir que es la mejor voz de este genero y espero que vuelva a hacer solista, no se porque se unio a una banda ella sola brillaba

It's kind of a shame that there is only one comment in here. I actually saw her in concert, when she opened for La Ley. The girl has talent, I'm upset i haven't heard from her since her first album. And i didn't think i'd meet her at the end of the concert either, it was a thrill. I was young at the time only 14 and i felt stars struck when i met her that i had no idea what to say to her, but she was kind and we even shook hands. I was so star struck i forgot to ask her to autograph my cd lol.
