However, that wasnβt the first time Natalie followed such an impulse. Born to Surinamese parents and raised in Amsterdam, she moved to Los Angeles alone at 20-years-old, pursuing her dream of becoming a singer and dancer. Inspired by everyone from Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson to Mariah Carey, she honed her vocal chops through years of diligent practice. That prowess led to a deal with Blackground Records/Interscope Records for her duo Amsterdam in 2010.
βThe group didnβt work out, and no music was released,β she sighs. βIt just wasnβt the right time. However, with Flo, everything felt right. We have such a great chemistry, and heβs given me an incredible launch pad for me and my songs.β
That music flaunts her immense voice with flourishes of both eighties and nineties R&B. Itβs an instantly irresistible style. βIβm very inspired by pop and rhythm,β she goes on. βThereβs a soulfulness and great groove though. Since Iβm a dancer, itβs important for my music to have a nice beat.β
Her debut single for I.M.G./Republic Records βSomebodyβ [featuring Jeremih] will undoubtedly get the dance floor moving. Over smooth production from Future Classic, the song updates the melody from Whitney Houstonβs βI Wanna Dance With Somebodyβ for a new millennium. Natalieβs voice takes the spotlight in between a sexy hook from Jeremih.
βItβs a fun and funky song,β remarks Natalie. βItβs feel-good, and it reminds me of summertime. I love to be around people, have a great time, and dance. Thatβs what it stands for. While we were recording Jeremih happened to be in Miami for a Big Dreams for Kids Back to School Event and Flo invited him to the studio to sing on it. He nailed it on the first take!β
Ultimately though, βSomebodyβ simply opens the doorway for Natalie. βIf you want something, you have to fight for it,β she leaves off. βThatβs what I did. I want to show everybody living your dream is possible. I want to leave people with smiles on their faces, inspire them, and move them.β
Somebody ft. Jeremih
Natalie La Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna take shots with somebody
I wanna leave with somebody
And we ain't gonna tell nobody, we ain't gonna tell nobody
Walk in, everybody knows what's good
But some gonna hate, what's new?
We just do our thing, no time to waste
And at the end of the night when the lights go out
Will we turn down? Oh no we won't
(We ain't never turnin' down, we ain't never turnin' down)
And when they try to make us leave
We turn and say we never going home
(And you know just what I wanna do)
I wanna rock with somebody
I wanna take shots with somebody
I wanna leave with somebody
And we ain't gotta tell nobody, we ain't gotta tell nobody
Walk in, everybody know what's good
We're our only plug
Bring us everything we think we need
Tonight is goin' up
Tonight is goin' up
And at the end of the night when the lights go out
Will we turn down? Oh no we won't
(We ain't never turnin' down, we ain't never turnin' down)
And when they try to make us leave
We turn and say we never going home
(And you know just what I wanna do)
I wanna rock with somebody
I wanna take shots with somebody
I wanna leave with somebody
And we ain't gotta tell nobody, we ain't gotta tell nobody
In the club like what
We be in the party in the club like what
And the club like
We be in the city going dumb like what
In the club like what
We be in the party in the club like what
We be in the city going dumb like what
We be in the party in the club like what
And at the end of the night when the lights go out
Will we turn down? Oh no we won't
(We ain't never turnin' down, we ain't never turnin' down)
And when they try to make us leave
We turn and say we never going home
(And you know just what I wanna do)
I wanna rock with somebody
I wanna take shots with somebody
I wanna leave with somebody
And we ain't gotta tell nobody, we ain't gotta tell nobody
