"Urban Angel", her solo album debut, was co-written by Walker with producers Dan Chen and Nate Greenberg. It included the singles "No One Else," "Quicksand" (with remixes by Thievery Corporation and Stuhr), and "Crush." Walker has said that she wanted each song to be unforgettable.
Natalie's second album, "With You" has a marked sign of maturity. It was produced by the Brooklyn-based Stuhr —the same duo that produced her debut. “A sophomore record is really tough,” Walker admits. “I had no idea how difficult it would be. I know I wanted to give myself some room to experiment with a lighter and more upbeat sound, but it was really challenging for me to keep things simple. I wanted to force myself to get out of my comfort zone – and I did.”

Right Here
Natalie Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've had nothing
You have everything
You sit there mumbling
Come back to reality
Wake up from your lucid dream
It's a crime and such a waste
I am right here
But you don't see me
You're blinded by doubt
And selfish greed
In Natalie Walker's song "Right Here," the lyrics convey a sense of longing and unrequited love. The singer has had both everything and nothing in their life, while the person they desire has everything but sits there mumbling, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings. The singer urges the other person to come back to reality and wake up from their lucid dream, indicating that they believe this person is frittering away their life.
The song then shifts to an accusatory tone, as the singer declares that the person is committing a crime and wasting their life by simply taking from others. Despite being right there, the person can't see the singer, as they are blinded by doubt and selfish greed. This gives the impression that the person is missing out on something wonderful that is right in front of them due to their self-absorption.
Overall, "Right Here" is a poignant song that speaks to the theme of unrequited love and the frustrations that come with it. The singer is both longing for the person's attention and disappointed that they can't seem to see what's truly important.

Qué HORRIPILANTE LETRA, falta de esperanza, de fe, falta de confianza en el sí mismo para salir adelante, no hay resilencia. Casi vomito con tanta desconfianza en el otro.
