After nearly a year of successful single releases, Rising Scottish songstress NATI. drops her highly anticipated EP Golden on March 21st 2025. To celebrate the EP’s release NATI will embark on a UK tour, kicking things off in Dundee on April 18th (dates and tickets below).
Following her debut EP Older – a raw exploration of early adulthood – her sophomore effort emerges as a healing journey of self-discovery. Where Older captured the chaos of growing up, this new collection represents a gentler, more introspective phase. “Golden is the kiss goodnight, the cathartic tears and the sigh of relief.” NATI. says “It’s about searching for the best version of yourself and nurturing them. Celebrating the tiny huge things and making them matter. It’s about cherishing what you have instead of longing for something massive. It really is a healing EP and writing it was incredibly healing for me.”
The EP marks a shift from survival to revival, turning inward to explore personal growth and emotional healing. Less about wrestling with growing pains, Golden offers a warm, reflective narrative of finding peace and embracing oneself. Sonically, NATI. departs from her acoustic folk roots, instead infusing her sound with rich electric guitars and pop-inflected indie folk textures, mirroring her internal shift. Yet, despite this sonic evolution, NATI. maintains the distinctive artistic essence and “unapologetic Scottishness” that initially endeared her devoted fanbase.
From the sun-drenched ‘Heard It All Before’ to the amber-tinged title track ‘Golden,’ and the haunting ‘Midnight’, each song on the EP represents a distinct emotional landscape for NATI. as a songwriter. Yet it’s the EP’s focus track ‘When I Find Her’ which emerges as the electrifying centerpiece of Golden. Written in collaboration with Prentice Robertson of Vistas and produced by Kieran Smith, the track is a rebellion against sanitised self-care narratives. “Sometimes self care isn’t always pretty bubble baths and cups of tea.” NATI. adds “It’s crying yourself to sleep, sweating at the gym and cutting people out of your life”. An unfiltered exploration of self-discovery, she captures the messy, magnificent journey of embracing one’s complete self. As NATI. puts it: “We’re constantly searching for that optimum version of ourselves. So when you find them, be kind so that they last.”. Weaving both electric and acoustic guitar into a raw, textured soundscape, she challenges listeners with an experimental percussion palette in the song’s middle eight that transforms everyday objects—zips, beer bottles, coffee jars—into a punchy folk-pop fusion. NATI. expands “There’s whispers, there’s screaming and there’s mighty acoustic stabs because we wanted this EP to have a raw and live feel and I think we accomplished that.”
Born and raised in Fife, NATI. exploded onto the music scene, having amassed over 2 million followers across social media platforms. NATI.’s path took a transformative turn in 2022, when dreams became a reality, as she hit the road to support some of her favourite musicians, namely Tidelines, Newton Faulkner, and Simply Red. In 2023, she released her debut EP, Older, and embarked on a UK tour, adding two successful tours and numerous support slots to her repertoire. Her festival appearances have packed-out tents at TRNSMT, Belladrum, Kendal Calling, Skye Live, Tiree Music Festival, Beardy Folk, Cambridge Folk Festival, and Secret Garden Party . In support of Older, NATI. was invited to play BBC Quay sessions alongside Texas and sold out a show at Celtic Connections. 2024 was another promising year for NATI. as she continued to pack out festival tents, and performed alongside The Waterboys and McFLY. With standout live shows, a string of successful single releases and her sophomore effort Golden, NATI. continues to astound fans with her authenticity and charisma, ensuring her star keeps rising.
Golden arrives across all streaming platforms on March 21st. Following the release, she’ll hit the road for a UK tour starting April 18th in Dundee.
