Bristol/Stroud
https://soundcloud.com/natalieholmesmusic
Known for her haunting yet uplifting alt-pop, Natalie Holmes is a UK songwriter whose music will resonate deeply with all identifying as a cerebral wanderer. Since sharing her first home-recorded songs on YouTube in 2010, she’s nurtured her raw, poetic lyricism and honey-toned, yet characterful vocals alongside a sound that’s both comforting and expansive. Her debut album Vitamin Be (2022), praised by 6 Music and BBC Introducing, explored themes of mental health, self-reflection, and the profound effects of nature on both — all through a self-produced, organic yet dreamlike soundscape, capturing the complex nature of modern life.
With her second album Opposite Day (released Oct 2025), Natalie continues to convey the dizzying emotional highs and lows of today´s world, crafting songs that hold emotional contradictions with both humour, grace and a pinch of grit. Inspired by artists like Aurora and Caroline Polachek, she aims to help listeners feel heard, grounded and uplifted — even in chaos.
With Opposite Day out in the world and a relentless drive to evolve, Natalie Holmes continues to inspire listeners to question and embrace the challenges of life with a hopeful curiosity.
