Rising pop sensation Natalie Carr has once again captivated the music scene with the release of her latest music video, Rotten, the title track from her newest EP. This cinematic video artfully blends a compelling storyline with a warm, visually stunning aesthetic, showcasing Natalie as both the star and the creative force behind the narrative.

In the video, Carr portrays a runaway inmate escaping prison, wearing the iconic orange jumpsuit tied around her waist. Flashbacks reveal her connection with a partner, with whom she steals a boat for an adventurous getaway. Dressed as a sailor, she enjoys fleeting moments of freedom on the water before being recaptured at a marina. 

The warm tones of the evening light, coupled with shots of a forest carpeted with autumn leaves, create a melancholic yet vibrant backdrop that perfectly complements the song’s mood.

Rotten’s lyrics explore themes of self-sabotage, an experience familiar to many who navigate the emotional complexities of young adulthood. The song delivers a fresh, captivating pop sound with nostalgic undertones, blending seamlessly with Carr’s delicate yet commanding voice. Moving away from the overly sentimental portrayals of love traditionally associated with pop music, Rotten strikes a balance between emotional depth and relatability.

Carr’s EP delves into more than just failed relationships, touching on topics like female empowerment and struggles with addiction. These themes make her work both relatable and impactful, particularly for her dedicated social media following.

Since her debut in 2019, Natalie Carr has carved out a place in the music industry with tracks like Apple Pie, All My Plans Are Dead, and recent hits like Crying When I’m Sober and Cowboy. Her ability to seamlessly blend songwriting, production, and collaboration has garnered attention from notable outlets like MTV, Billboard, and Ones to Watch.

Carr’s hands-on approach to her music—handling everything from songwriting to the creative direction of her videos—demonstrates her commitment to her craft and business acumen. With her unique artistic vision and growing body of work, Natalie Carr is undeniably a star on the rise.
