Natalie Bergman: “Mercy”
Natalie Bergman’s beautiful new album “mercy” is out today. Watch the video for her song ‘talk to the lord’ and catch natalie rocking some looks from the first Jeune Otte womenswear collection.
Proud to share this wonderful video for 'Talk to the Lord' from my sister Natalie, featuring the Chicago Children's Choir (and a sweet appearance by my son Lewis). Filmed at the iconic Metro Chicago on Natalie's birthday on a crisp but sunny Sunday in February, I was blown away by the team she pulled together to create this powerful experience. With 2020 shutdowns, the venue had been sitting empty for almost a year, and she filled it with music, vision, hope, joy, and community.
Natalie's debut solo album "Mercy" is out today on Third Man Records. The record hits you with much of that same sense of hope and joy. It comforts, it uplifts, it makes you want to sing along, it makes you move, it makes you cry, it heals. The songs deal with death and darkness, grief, loss, love, and faith--they are rich and they are raw, as fresh as they are timeless. Gospels and anthems that I'm sure every one of us can find meaning and solace in after a year that has hit so many of us with losses, challenges, and isolation.
Watch the video, buy the record, hug your loved ones! -EB
'Talk to the Lord' was directed by Weird Life Films and produced by Jamie Grey. Our longtime friend Brandon Frein styled the striking wardrobe (can you spot our Joplin Pants?! and how about those killer Cities in Dust daisy earrings!). Chicago Children's Choir is led by the always inspirational Josephine Lee. Additional links to many of these creatives and a few dreamy images of Natalie in some pieces from our first womenswear collection below.
Our Joplin Pants are a comfy-meets-chic, organic-cotton denim bell-bottom with the perfect touch of stretch from our Teen & Tween: Collection II. BUT, don't forget that our youth size 16 fits an adult size 2/4--see Heiji sporting them below (far left)!
