02.06 // The Good Natured

The Good Natured is one of those ultra-hyped up artists who’s only ever actually released about eight tracks – so you’re probably going to try not to like her. Unfortunately in this case, that is difficult to do.

First track on their Myspace, ‘Your Body Is A Machine’, has strong drum beats and a beautiful, airy vocal that provides an instant hook. It’s a sound almost theatrically dramatic and passionate, but clinging tightly to a good sense of real pop music.

Amazingly, Sarah (aka The Good Natured) is only 18 years old: making her talent for insightful and eloquent song-writing even more astonishing and enviable.

There’s a soft, floaty quality to these songs that makes them perfect for a quiet night in, but the heavy sense of rhythm, sing-along feel of the choruses, and several impressive dance remixes, definitely marks them out as indie floor fillers to be.

Recommended track: Your Body Is A Machine
