Look out for Natalie Clark and her track “Iced Tea.” Reminiscent of Taylor Swift, this fun, quirky, breezy, and summery song is perfect for Spotify’s Dream Pop or Pop Up playlists.
“I wrote the song as summer was approaching, and I wanted to create a dreamy, summery world for people to escape to when they listened. I wanted the listener to feel that soothing, comforting, warm feeling on a summer’s day – laying on a beach or by a pool, sipping cold iced tea. Even if you can’t physically experience that, I wanted the song to still offer that feeling to you, to bring you some sunshine!”
Clark’s musical kicked off when Sir Richard Branson spontaneously requested her to perform while she was at the BBC Radio 1 Academy.
