Music is embedded in Nathalie Matthews very being and with a new start and a debut album this beautiful Canadian vocalist plans to open herself up to the world and allow all to experience what she has to offer. As a child Nathalie was encouraged to explore the arts. By the age of 11 she could play the flute, the saxophone and the piano, but it didn’t take her long to discover that her favorite instrument was her voice. With an amazing six-octave range and stellar stage presence, everyone who heard her sing was astounded by the maturity of her voice. At the age of 16, Nathalie started her first band and soon became a hometown favorite. She later entered the Miss Montreal Pageant and won the category of “Best Talent.” She went on to compete in the Miss Quebec Pageant and because of her friendly demeanor and outgoing personality she was chosen as “Ms. Congeniality.” With a newfound fame and confidence Nathalie connected with the management of Grammy-award winner Celine Dion and landed the coveted spot of back up singer. Her amazing talent and fluency in French made her an asset to the bilingual singer’s band. After touring with Celine and learning the art of performance from one of the best, Nathalie decided to strike out on her own, formed a new band and began to tour Eastern Canada. Even though she had no album and no airplay, Nathalie was able to garner a large fan base. Once audiences heard her they had no choice but to love her! As fate would have it Nathalie fell in love and decided to put her singing aspirations on-hold to pursue family. In 2005, she decided it was time to let go of her last love, while re-embracing her first love and what better place to start fresh than the United States? She traveled to Las Vegas and participated in the 2005 International Music Festival. Nathalie wowed the judges with her powerful voice and was awarded the category of “Best R&B Pop” artist. The opportunity and exposure also allowed her to cross paths with some of the best producers the industry has to offer and after recording a few songs in New York she came to Los Angeles, CA, to record her album.

the Los Angeles City Council voted to sponsor the holiday event.

after Thanksgiving.
The Grand Marshal for the 2007 parade will be Bob Barker ( "The Price is Right" ), and other celebs on hand will include the cast from the popular "High School Musical".

LooseyLucy.com Nathalie Matthews might be an independent artist, but her music has a very mainstream feel. She has a wonderful, powerful voice, which is excellent for her style of pop/R&B. A former backup singer for Celine Dion, Ms. Matthews has struck out on her own...and she does it well! Her thirteen song self-titled album starts off strong with the danceable, "Totaled My Heart." The love song, "No Mystery," is remarkable, and "Trippin' Over You" has a great beat for the club. The enchanting ballad, "Don't Surrender," and it's French version, "Ne Lache Pas," are simply gorgeous! "Givin' It My All" has an interesting melody on the chorus, and "I'm Over You" has a great pop sound. The entire album is outstanding. Definitely worth listening!!! |

Roctober Magazine Independently released slick R&B is rarely on par with todays radio hits, although it sure sounds better than most of the stuff out there. Matthews sings with a Panache and a clear, strong voice, and has some sly phrasing, and she can also sing in french. What more do you want? |

Nathalie Matthews - Nathalie Matthews - CD I have never been a fan of this type of music. All the
songs are highly produced with loads of drum loops and very little in the
way of anything musical. The lyrics are generic and the female vocals are
interchangeable. That's not saying that Nathalie Matthews has a bad
voice, far from it. She has nice vocals. And I'm sure that the people who
are into this type of music would love this CD. I would have to say that "No
Mystery" and "Don't Surrender" do show promise, but overall this release
just isn't for me. |

Orcasound - Nathalie Matthews
Canadian singer Nathalie Matthews has led a charmed life. From a young age, she was able to play various instruments and developed her singing skills. This led her to a fantastic opportunity to be Celine Dion's backup singer. Nathalie decided to branch out on her own. She recently pre-released her debut self-titled album, which is a blend of pop and R&B. Songs about relationships dominate this album of thirteen tracks. R&B flavored songs like "Totaled My Heart" and "Trippin' Over You" are interesting. Nathalie has also included a couple of French as well. www.orcasound.com |

Re: Commercial Radio Test Results
We have had the opportunity to review as well as radio test market your submission. The results you will find below (see bottom of email for description and definition of test). As you can see from the results below, we have received some wonderful response from radio on your music. This in turn will give you a recommended level towards a commercial radio promotion/marketing campaign. At this time we recommend you conduct a national radio campaign which would increase your visibility to major record companies. As you know, If you are attempting to secure a recording contract, publishing or distribution for your material you must either generate sales upwards of 20 thousand units, otherwise gain a substantial amount of commercial radio station support.
Nathalie Matthews Primary Response (Strongest Response) Totaled My Heart **** No Mystery **** Givin It My All **** Don't Surrender ****
Secondary Response Talk To Me *** Juste Toi *** Why Ya Playin *** Hold On *** Trippin Over You ** I'm Over You ** Free ** My Boo * Ne Lache Pas *
Description and Definition of Commercial Radio Tests All tests were done within the commercial mainstream radio markets. Radio stations participating in test are commercially reporting radio stations to NMW/STS, FMQB, Billboard/R&R, and Music Row. Ratings: Ratings are based upon a one, two, three and four star basis. We strongly recommend promoting songs with three or four star rating; they have great potential to become a "standard" for the target audience and with target radio stations. Songs with a two star rating aren't as strong, but have solid programming value, and we also do recommend promoting them as "follow up" singles or at least re-testing at a later date. Songs testing one star are "borderline", few negatives, but few positives at this point. These singles are worth keeping around for possible re-testing. |
