Urban Angel is the remarkable solo debut from Philadelphia-based singer Natalie Walker. A former member of the electronic group Daughter Darling, her voice was front and center on their popular 2003 album Sweet Shadows. On Urban Angel, recorded with producers Nate Greenberg and Dan Chen (aka Stuhr) in Brooklyn, Walker has taken her music to the next level. All Music Guide describes the album as “funky and elegant at the same time” while Philadelphia magazine calls it “a stirring, sexy record that’s filler free.” The disc has been embraced by influential California radio station KCRW and reached number-two on the iTunes electronic chart. Indeed, with its combination of lush, modern soundscapes and more traditional song structure, Urban Angel can be savored by fans of conventional singer-songwriter fare and electronic music alike.
