LA-based, Chicago-bred Natalie Bergman spent years writing music with her brother as one half of eclectic indie-pop duo Wild Belle. Today, Bergman has returned with news of a highly-personal solo record that served as a personal salvation after the tragic sudden death of their father and step-mother as a result of a collision with a drunk driver. Fittingly titled Mercy, 'Talk to the Lord' is the hopeful first taste from the record. Taking comfort in her faith, Bergman provides reassurance to others who may be suffering, delivering stunning vocal melodies backed by an uplifting Gospel choir explaining: “My faith and my music are crucial to my existence. I sing a lot about home on this record. My Paradiso, my Heaven. Believing in that place has been my greatest consolation. I had an urgency and desperation to know that my father was there. His sudden death was a whirling chaos that assaulted my mind. Gospel music gives me hope. It is the good news. It’s exemplary. It can bring you truth. It can keep you alive. This album provided me with my only hope for coming back to life myself.” Mercy will arrive on the 7th of May via Third Man Records. -Holly Mullineaux
