When an artist has a huge following of devoted fans, it makes sense to have them directly involved in the release of their next record.

Natty has teamed up with Pledge Music, a direct-to-fan platform that gets us (the fans) directly involved in the release of a very special EP.

Speaking about the campaign, Natty said…“In the middle of recording my second album Johnny Dollar, who produced my first album, passed away. I wanted to do something in memory of him, like a gig or an event with all his music but nothing came of it. Around the same time I was thinking about releasing an acoustic demo of new songs I was writing, just for the fans. So when Pledge Music approached me to work with them it was a no-brainer; Acoustic EP for the fans to raise funds for Sarcoma sufferers. I spoke with my label, Atlantic Records and we came up with a plan for releasing the EP and an acoustic tour. Also we worked out a few extra incentives for peeps to get stuck into, hopefully we can raise a good amount of money to support the Sarcoma Research Fund at the Royal Marsden”.

It’s been two years since his debut Man Like Me was released and we couldn’t be more excited about owning brand new Natty material. If you want to own your copy of this acoustic EP as well as receive exclusive updates from the man himself, head over to the website and Pledge!
