She is known for her ability to move between genres and musical styling, acting as both singer and poet in a way that was not deemed commercially viable until her arrival.
Natalie is co-founder of seven times Grammy nominated Floetry along with former band-mate Marsha Ambrosius. Floetry was an instant commercial success, spawning two studio albums, one live album, and selling over 800,000 records worldwide. As soon as fans became used to the duo - they broke up due to reasons never really divulged publicly.
The split with Floetry led to a marked change in both their sounds - but has led to rave reviews for their solo productions.
After the 2007 split of R&B duo Floetry, spoken word artist and whisper-voiced vocalist Natalie Stewart -- aka the Floacist -- made a handful of guest appearances on recordings by other musicians, including Brian Culbertson's XII. She signed as a solo artist to the Shanachie label, which released her debut album, Floetic Soul, in November 2010. Dominated by seductive ballads featuring Stewart’s trademark breathy whispers, she benefited from collaborations with Musiq Soulchild, Raheem DeVaughn, and Lalah Hathaway, along with production input from J.R. Hutson, Know-I, and Chris "Big Dog" Davis. It scraped the Billboard 200 with a debut at number 195 and reached the Top 20 of the R&B albums chart. Almost exactly two years later, she released Floetry Re:Birth -- produced by her husband, Nolan Weekes -- for the same label. It topped out at number 51, R&B. Supported once again by Davis, among others, Stewart returned with Rise of the Phoenix Mermaid in March 2014. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
Let Me
The Floacist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just moving where the mood inside takes me
Looks like faith means to lead us into nowhere
Touching every layer of matter from beginning to latter
It's the laws of attractions that's in action here
Not the voices of the conscious programmed with so much nonsense
Trying to fear us from what's natural
We were all born supernatural
If you let me
I'd love to
Baby tell me will you let me
If you let me
I'd love to
Baby tell me will you let me
If you let me
I'd love to
Baby tell me will you let me
If you let me
I'd love to
Baby tell me will you let me
Sometimes I get carried away by the,
To be with you night and day
I love the way we miss behave
In that earthly way it means
I get to feel you with all senses
Burning all incenses
These, how could I forget it?
I'm not the good girl nor the bad girl
I'm a woman
Hear me roar while you adore me
And employ me to explore, free admission
I'm on a mission to find you
Will you let me?
If you let me
I'd love to
Baby tell me will you let me
If you let me
I'd love to
Baby tell me will you let me
If you let me
I'd love to
Baby tell me will you let me
If you let me
I'd love to
Baby tell me will you let me
I suppose now it's the time
That we imply body soul and min
Do you mind
I'll just love it
If you will let me find myself in you
Let me introduce you to a seduction
That will guide you into another groove
I see future in you
I read pages of you
And never get tired
You get me higher
Lets float away to another space another place
I hope you'll retry what you've ever lost
If you let me
I'd love to
Baby tell me will you let me
If you let me
I'd love to
Baby tell me will you let me
If you let me
I'd love to
Baby tell me will you let me
If you let me
I'd love to
Baby tell me will you let me
In Let Me, The Floacist emphasizes her desire to connect with her love interest on a deeper level. She contemplates whether the other person is thinking the same thoughts as her, while allowing her mood to guide her in their interaction. In her opinion, faith shouldn't lead them nowhere, and they should embrace their natural desires without fear. She believes in the laws of attraction, which she believes are in action between them. The Floacist acknowledges that she gets carried away by her feelings for the other person and cherishes their earthly intimacy, which allows her to feel everything with her senses. She affirms her identity as a woman--who is neither good nor bad--and expresses her desire to explore and discover new things with her love interest. The Floacist finishes by asking her partner to let her find herself in them and hints at the possibility of their shared future.
