Natalie's debut album was released in late 2000 and contained thirteen original songs. Created with a thoughtful range of subject matter, tempo and mood throughout the album, "Let The Candle Burn" was enthusiastically welcomed by fans and industry personnel alike. She painted an interesting tapestry of sound on an album that included carefree, upbeat tracks, mid-tempo chillout songs and sweet soulful ballads.
Natalie returned to the studio to record the 2003 Holiday album entitled "A Cool Christmas", a 10 song Cool R&B/Pop influenced collection of Holiday favorites. The album included the beloved "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", the soaring chime of "Silver Bells" and the quietly understated "I'll Be Home For Christmas". Natalie pulled Ray Charles' "Christmas Time" out of the archives and gave it a light, airy spin that served the tune well. Up-tempo numbers included a Swing infused "Let It Snow" and a contemporary pairing of "Winter Wonderland" and "Sleigh Ride". A mellow-groove rendition of "Give Love on Christmas Day" rounded out the sure-to-please Holiday offering.
In the Spring of 2004 the digital singles 'I Wonder' and 'Queen of Me' were made available on Natalie's official site. The songs garnered tremendous attention and In July 2004, 'Queen of Me' was released by Avex, Inc. Japan on the "Soul Essentials 7" series with songs by Rahsaan Patterson, Earth, Wind & Fire and others.
Much to the delight of fans eagerly awaiting new material, January 30th, 2009 saw the release of the long awaited sophomore album "Random Thoughts". The album features a selection of songs with varying themes (Natalie's Random Thoughts) that range from the inspiring "Hold Your Head Up High", the girl power anthem "Queen of Me" and the uplifting "It's A Beautiful Day", to the thought provoking "What's Going on Next Door?", the unity rallying call of "Come Closer", the sultry "How I Love 2 Love U", the soulful "You're Mysterious" and signature love ballad "I Knew You Were The One", and more.
Natalie has actively been licensing her music for Film/TV and Commercial placements for the past 7 years. She's had music placed on every major North American cable network and premium television programs accross the globe. A partial listing of domestic placements can be found on her website.
Natalie can be found commuting between Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and Maryland / DC, USA. She enjoys reading, creating custom jewelry, mentoring other artists, watching movies and shopping.

I Wonder
Natalie Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even though the sun was shining down
Life, it roared on despite her
But she couldn't even hear the sound
I could tell by the wrinkled lines
Like a map criss-crossing her face
She had seen much and I wondered
What had brought her here to this place
It's amazing what this life can put you through
Yes it is
There's a choice to make in all the things you do
I wonder what brought her to this place
Is it memories gone without a trace
Seems as though she's lost in time and space
I wonder
She just stared straight ahead
Like she was trying to concentrate
Maybe if she could focus
She would open her memory floodgate
Something strange seemed to possess her
And it would not let her go
Searching deep down inside her
To find a feeling she had once known
And I wonder what this life has put her through
Yes I do
And I wish that there was something I could do for her
I wonder what brought her to this place
Is it memories gone without a trace
Seems as though she's lost in time and space
I wonder
The song "I Wonder" by Natalie Brown speaks about a woman who seems lost in her own world despite the hustle and bustle of life happening around her. The lyrics describe her as appearing cold and shivering despite the warmth of the sun shining down on her. The wrinkles on her face indicate that she has been through a lot and has seen more than the average person, making the singer wonder what events led her to be in the place she is now. As the song goes on, the woman appears to be lost in her thoughts, trying to recall a memory that seems just out of reach. The singer can only wonder what the woman has gone through and wishes she could help her.
The lyrics of this song could be interpreted in a number of ways, but one clear message is that life can be tough, and not everyone's experiences are the same. The woman who the singer is observing has clearly been through a lot, and as humans, we often go through difficult situations that leave us feeling lost and alone. The singer's wish to help is relatable as we often want to make a difference in someone else's life but are unsure how to go about it.
Line by Line Meaning
She looked cold and she shivered
Despite the sun's warmth, she seemed uneasy and shivery
Even though the sun was shining down
Contrary to the sunny weather
Life, it roared on despite her
Life keeps moving, despite her troubles
But she couldn't even hear the sound
She felt disconnected from the world around her
I could tell by the wrinkled lines
By the folds and creases on her face I could discern...
Like a map criss-crossing her face
...that her life journey had left its mark on her appearance
She had seen much and I wondered
I was curious about what experiences she had gone through
What had brought her here to this place
Specifically, why her story led her here
It's amazing what this life can put you through
Life can be full of unpredictable twists and turns
Yes it is
Simple agreement or affirmation
There's a choice to make in all the things you do
One can choose their path, despite life's challenges
Is it memories gone without a trace
I wondered if she had lost or forgotten her memories
Seems as though she's lost in time and space
She appeared absent or disconnected from the present moment
She just stared straight ahead
She gazed ahead in a focused manner
Like she was trying to concentrate
She appeared to be deep in thought
Maybe if she could focus
Perhaps if she concentrated hard enough
She would open her memory floodgate
She could unlock lost memories
Something strange seemed to possess her
It appeared as if she was under some inexplicable influence
And it would not let her go
She remained under its influence, unable to free herself
Searching deep down inside her
Looking inside herself, introspecting
To find a feeling she had once known
Trying to recall a past feeling or emotion
And I wish that there was something I could do for her
I felt empathy for her and wished to offer help
I wonder what brought her to this place
Wondering about the circumstances that led her to this moment
