CMP Playback | Natalie Oliveri "Never Too Late"

What more can we say about Natalie Oliveri that hasn't been said before? Since the age of 9, this Chicago based Singer/Songwriter has been shaping her own style of music. From Neo-Soul to Hip Hop this songstress has shown her versatility through her ability to deliver a soulful ballad, or a undeniably danceable Latin Pop tune.

To add to Ms. Oliveri's resume she just announced that her EP Eclectic Soul will be released in Japan by Japanese label, Revolution Recording (aka...River City Japan). Through CMP, Natalie connected with Chicago Hip Hop Group 1773, and they in turn collaborated on a track that was included on their Japanese album release Sound Soulstice. This was the catalyst for Revolution Recording to contact Natalie, and sign her to a multi-album deal with Eclectic Soul being released on July 14th.

CMP will also have the privilege of being packaged with Natalie as the music video below will be included on DVD with her CD release in Japan. Early in the year CMP Co-Founder and Filmmaker, Leo A. Flores, brought his team together to create a concept envisioned by Flores and Oliveri.

"I knew what we were creating wasn't going to be anything ground breaking," states Flores, "I just wanted to tell the story using some classic Hollywood composition, and use editing that matched the slow unwinding process that is heartbreak."

Who would have known the day we first saw this starry eyed young woman on the Student Stage during Columbia College's Manifest, that she would accomplish so much in such a short amount of time. Word is she's working on her second EP, and possibly working with several Chicago music industry notables.
