Telana is now gracing this world with her exciting new single "Nature of You and I" where she shows her ability to master any genre she delves into. I can't help but think about Alanis Morrissette with this one. I know I know! I make a lot of references to Alanis Morissette but what can I say? I like her music! "Nature of You and I" feels like a blast from the past, a song that could've been released on MTV in the late 90s or early 00s. Telana's voice is stunning and almost angelic.
"Can we build a bridge over
Everything we burnt down
Memories hurt and
They weigh me down."
Even though the song is a reminder of the past, it also feels fresh and modern. Telana's voice stands out, giving the song a unique and timeless feeling. The lyrics are relatable to many, and the production of the song perfectly complements her voice. Her voice is incredibly versatile and her range is wide. Her vocal control is impeccable, and her tone is always clear and resonant. This allows her to convey the emotion of the song and the lyrics in a way that is captivating and memorable. Her voice has an almost magical quality to it.
"The song is a call for forgiveness. It is a deeply personal reflection about healing wounds, accepting pain, and loving each other despite differences." – Telana about “Nature of You and I”
Overall, this song is a powerful example of Telana's ability to convey her innermost feelings with her voice and music, creating truly an unforgettable experience.
"Nature of You and I" was co-written by Telana and Graham Laderman, and produced by Laderman and Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Dave Matthews Band, etc.). As she continues to grow and experiment with her sound, we eagerly await the next chapter in Telana's musical story. Where she will take us next remains a mystery... but hey! I like surprises. Until next time.
