Pre-order 'Memory Girl' album: https://smarturl.it/MEMORYGIRL

After delivering her incredibly well-received single ‘A Sun Going Down' which was named Track Of The Week on BBC Introducing Merseyside, as well as receiving plays from Amazing Radio, and tastemaker support from the likes of Wonderland, Record of the Day, The Most Radicalist, When The Horn Blows and much more, emerging alt-pop artist Natalie McCool has now announced the details behind her eagerly-awaited new album ‘Memory Girl’ - set for release on July 30th - alongside the newly unveiled lead track ‘Heaven’.

Having spent the last few years developing and cultivating her sound, ‘Memory Girl’ marks a major milestone in the Liverpudlian’s career to date. Bringing together a wealth of material she has released over the last year, as well as brand new offerings, her new full-length aims to create a fresh and retrospective look at her output so far, giving us a tantalising taste of her glorious direction.

Her newest single ‘Heaven’ looks to showcase exactly what we can expect from this upcoming collection. Much like what we have heard so far, the track adopts a myriad of diverse and exciting pop-rock textures to deliver a blissfully warm and spellbinding sound that perfectly cements her intentions for the new full-length.

Adding about ‘Heaven’, "When I go to heaven, will I remember how it feels?” Heaven is a state of never forgetting how good or right something was, even if you’re viewing it through rose tinted shades, or in hindsight; even if it’s so overpowering it drags you right back to square one - back to that time and place.

"Today I took a walk on the wild side, such brave talk - I thought of you and the tiger died”. Heaven is that safe place where you can envelop yourself with a memory - and although you might feel the 'grown up' thing to do is just move on - you’re spellbound by it.”


Lyrics
Today I put my head in my hands, cried over nothin’ 
Spilt milk and ruined plans
Today I took a walk on the wild side
Such brave talk...I thought of you and the tiger died

When I go to heaven will I remember how it feels? 
When I go to heaven will I remember it was real?

Today I took myself to a happy place
The pain went away, everytime I saw your face

When I go wild, when I go wild and I could scream When I go wild, will you be happy?
When I go to heaven will I remember how it feels? 
When I go to heaven will I remember it was real?

PHOTOGRAPH
Little shogun, what a mess.
Wearing black slacks and maroon rayon vest.
Trying not to be provincial, trying to be direct.
"Hey, can you leave the screen door cracked?
And no you don't even have to ask 

to take my photograph"

Statement haircut, five feet tall.
Back to Deerfield in the fall and I can still see you--
drinking something questionable outside that pizza shop.
Trying to make the townies laugh
and hustling a ride to Western Mass 

just like a photograph.

You can take my photograph.

Think About It

This song really feels like something special to me and the next step for Written Years. It’s a corrupt little 2 a.m. love song about finding yourself in this strange world. -Wade

Lyrics:

Turn the lights down now, I am all worked up
Try to shake it out, play the part
And there’s a kind, kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of quiet now

‘Til we are cut in thirds on a restaurant stage
Where the ribbon girls spin and I
Am caving down, a kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of

I am here, wide awake, help me into the car
I don’t want you to dance all alone in the dark
Even if it is all just a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

I am lit, half asleep, throwing darts at the mirror
I am shaking right now like I shouldn’t be here
Even if it appears as a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

I’ll wait a breath then take something to calm down
Bury my mistakes, spill it all
And there’s a kind, kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of quiet now

So kiss me darling, I’ve been asleep too long
I can stand up right, clear my head
And it’s all a kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of

I know it’s in our blood, this city will break our hearts, love
I know it’s in our blood, hit the lights and get it all out
I know it’s in our blood, this city will break our hearts, love
I know it’s in our blood

I am here, wide awake, help me into the car
I don’t want you to dance as you’re falling apart
Even if it is all just a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

Shake it out, just shake it out,  just shake it out now
