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.

In My Dreams
Natalie Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quite some time ago
There's a strength, of love in my heart
That just can't let you go
It seems like even when I go to see
Images of you, my mind still keeps
[Chorus: ]
No matter how I try, it seems
That a deep part of me, just can't forget
That a big part of me, still has regrets
And I can't seem to let
All the love I had for you go
Yes I still see you in my dreams
Sometimes, I wait, with your face in my mind
Somehow, I thought, that I left those memories behind
It's seems that you have left my heart frustrated
With vivid memories your smile created
[Chorus: ]
I still see you in my dreams
Yes, I still see you in my dreams
The lyrics of Natalie Brown's song "In My Dreams" expresses the lingering feelings of love and nostalgia for a past relationship that had ended quite some time ago. The first stanza suggests that even though the couple had parted ways and bade each other goodbye a long while back, the singer's heart continues to be filled with the love she had for her partner, and that she can't seem to let go of the memories she had of her former lover. The second stanza indicates that the singer had tried to move on and forget the past love, but the thought of her partner's face still lingers in her mind, and the vivid memories of her partner's smile and the emotions attached to it have left her heart feeling frustrated. The chorus of the song repeats the same message of the singer's inability to forget the past love, and that it still haunts her in her dreams.
The lyrics of this song resonate with many people who have gone through breakups, particularly the difficulty of letting go of past memories, regardless of how much time has passed. The Singer's vocal performance, combined with the melody, creates a somber and melancholy mood, which reinforces the emotive theme of the song. Overall, In My Dreams is a contemplative and heartfelt song that portrays the lingering feelings of love and regret for a past relationship that continues to haunt the singer in her dreams.

Even though, we said goodbye
Despite our farewell
Quite some time ago
A long time has passed since then
There's a strength, of love in my heart
My love for you is still strong
That just can't let you go
I can't move on from you
It seems like even when I go to see
Even when I try to move on
Images of you, my mind still keeps
I can't stop thinking about you
[Chorus: ]
Refrain:
And I still see you in my dreams
I dream of you
No matter how I try, it seems
I can't control my dreams
That a deep part of me, just can't forget
I can't forget about you
That a big part of me, still has regrets
I regret letting you go
And I can't seem to let
I can't release
All the love I had for you go
My love for you still remains
Yes I still see you in my dreams
I still dream of you
Sometimes, I wait, with your face in my mind
At times, I imagine your face in my thoughts
Somehow, I thought, that I left those memories behind
I thought I had forgotten those memories
It's seems that you have left my heart frustrated
You left me with a feeling of dissatisfaction
With vivid memories your smile created
I remember your smile as if it were yesterday
