“Heart larcenist and master pianist”
Nomi Abadi - full album coming soon
From Natti:
“On a creative level, this has been the most joyful I have ever felt writing and making music. The songs took a lot out of me, as they always do, but they gave me a kind of protection, enchantment, adventure, humour, sensuality and LIGHTNESS that I’d never felt before. I don’t think you can make an album about emotional growth, bodily autonomy and real intimacy without doing intense work or without *having done* intense work, but for the conception to have been suffused with such … prettiness, feels like a gift on which I hope to make good.”

FAB (Free Ass Bitch)
First single from the upcoming Nomi Abadi album
From Natti:
“This song liberated me. she’s yours now.”
Natti wrote FAB right before the pandemic in a desert-fire-season fever dream. His grumpy, disturbed neighbor liked hearing the tune being written so much that when he found out it was Natti’s, he permanently stopped being a jerk. Natti hopes the song has the same effect on all your neighbors this summer. May all beings be free ass bitches.

TRICK! The Musical
“The super-catchy "Trick! The Musical" tells an unapologetically queer, (and cheekily humorous) tale in which the protagonist, an open-hearted top, is rejected by a viperous bottom. In typical queer narratives, we might be more likely to hear this the other way around, so the acknowledgment that tops might be too fragile to admit when they feel burned feels radical. But lines like "when I took a look inside it was airtight / there was nothing there," also present a duality. "Trick! The Musical" explores how even if we feel we've been tricked or had, it's about the ways we trick (via sale or otherwise) ourselves most of all, using the metaphor of sex as transaction for aural pop bait.”
—Michael Love Michael for PAPER
“Trick! the Musical is an air-tight pop tune, unleashing hell on a judgmental and gross trick, who had it all coming from the very start anyway”

Serving Body EP
“I'm pretty amazed by how Natti Vogel can jump from one genre to the next and still sound authentic. That's a rare feat. Lady Gaga can't even do that!"
—Stacy Llambe (EW, OUT Magazine)
“For an artist who's been gigging on the downtown New York cabaret scene since age 19, this is quite literally the most complete body of work he has served. The ornate, intricately arranged record is a study of early adulthood, including songs written from ages 22 to 25, replete with ironic social commentary and sexual politicking. Throughout the release, one can hear Natti's rigorous classical music training in its production, and a deep love of pop music in how sticky-sweet the tunes themselves feel.”

I Don’t Want to Find The One
“The first thing that’s immediately noticeable about “I Don’t Wanna Find The One” is how incredibly fun it is: The bright, staccato piano pounding through the track sets a tone and a sense of anticipation that’s only freed once the chorus explodes with Vogel’s soaring voice and horn section. Vogel’s vocals are delivered with a snarl of someone who’s on the prowl for the next person that’s going to end up in his bed. The chorus is one that’s hard to resist singing along to. From the catchiness of “I don’t wanna find the one” to the growling hubris of “it’s just an idiot fantasy,” Vogel takes a simple lyric to a Broadway level of grandiosity in his delivery. It’s undeniably sexy in the way that great pop music makes you want to put on your Sunday’s best, go out, drink fancy cocktails, and flirt.
Natti Vogel’s “I Don’t Wanna Find The One” can be a defining moment for the indie-pop New Yorker. It’s equal parts catchy and dramatic. It’s also a vastly complex song that seems so simple upon first listen. It’s incredibly rewarding to listen to over and over, and Serving Body is sure to be the same level of fun and engaging.”

Brown Rice
“Released March 29, “Brown Rice” arrives at a prolific time for Vogel who, until now, had been known primarily on New York’s indie music circuit, with performances at the Brooklyn Museum and National Sawdust. The video is the third to be released from his six-track debut EP, “Serving Body”, and had racked up more than 40,000 views as of Sunday afternoon. Calling Vogel’s song “haunting and gorgeous,” (director and choreographer Eamon) Foley aimed to paint a picture of “a man chasing a thrill or some sort of climax, but falling short of satisfaction.” Still, he stressed that “Brown Rice” isn’t meant to “judge a certain subset of gay men or cast a shameful light on certain actions.”
—Curtis M. Wong, Huffington Post
“Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Natti Vogel has been tackling body image through the songs and accompanying music videos off his six-track offering, Serving Body, released this past January. “Each song on my record is about the ways we value or don’t value bodies, our own and others,” Vogel explained to Billboard.
“Brown Rice” was written while Vogel was reflecting on a man he loved who couldn’t bring himself to commit to anyone. (“He still can’t, by the way.”) A teenager at the time, Vogel took it personally. “I just turned myself into a self-improvement machine, not to get revenge but to make myself retroactively worthy of him in my own mind.””
—Billboard, March 2018
“Every gay guy can relate to Natti Vogel’s “Brown Rice” video.”
—Arnaud Marty for HighClouds
Love For A Limited Time Only
“Vogel is clearly influenced by many different genres, with elements of jazz, musical theatre, and the classical genres present in this track, and his overall sound is very refreshing. Vogel’s voice is particularly strong, with his huge range surpassing many of his peers.”
—Jane Howkins for York Calling
“Love For A Limited Time Only – My favorite on the EP and it also happens to be a bonus track Vogel decided to add on and record a month before release. The pacing of this track is perfectly dramatic with the help of gorgeous strings and a beat that makes you walk taller and want to conquer the world. Sara Bareilles but as a rock opera.”

We All Move to Brooklyn
Natti Vogel’s song “We All Move to Brooklyn,” from his upcoming album “Serving Body,” offers his cheeky take on the frightening, seemingly inevitable economic forces that have swept artists — including Vogel himself — into the borough of Kings over the last few years.
“There’s no way around it, it’s a scary, awkward trend that feels inhuman and feels disrespectful of the self and of the other. There’s no cute spin to gentrification,” said Vogel, who moved to Crown Heights six years ago. “I do a big eye-roll every time I see an article in a paper, magazine, or news segment that’s like ‘Come to Brooklyn’s new artisanal cheese shop’ or every time I see a show about Brooklyn, or some song about Brooklyn that’s glamorized how fun and artsy, and how hip and raw and how cool it is, and it just feel likes throwing icing on a big turd cake of reality.”
—Julianne Cuba for the Brooklyn Paper
“Vogel is truly an artist for any young person living in a city today. Brooklyn has become a stand in for any number of “hip” cities, and he denounces the vacuous conversations so many people have in place of finding out how we’re all doing. The chorus asking “Do you think that when we die our souls move to Brooklyn?” is funny and biting.”

Moonshine Melody
“In person, Vogel is an extraordinary presence with a larger-than-life personality: he speaks animatedly with his hands, his eyes widen with childlike wonder when he's excited (which is every five seconds), and he can't help but move his body sensuously, especially when he's talking about music and rhythm—you know, what really moves him.”
—Michael Love Michael for OUT
“Although the lyricism is modernist, Natti Vogel exercises his passions for an era when theatrical pop dominated the music world throughout the Serving Body EP. “Moonshine Melody” and “I Don’t Wanna Find the One” dip their toes in the pop-music world while showing massive amounts of affection for the incredibly influential artists like Bowie or Queen who made the music popular. These songs are well-produced and catchy enough that they could be radio hits, but they also could’ve come from an intimate cabaret. Vogel’s vocals are occasionally commanding like a traditional popstar, but he also can be walking down to your table in the local cabaret. Vogel’s alluring croon is seen best in songs like “We All Move To Brooklyn” or “Brown Rice,” where it sounds like he’s the handsome devil on your shoulder, trying to lead you to a hedonistic evening.”

Cannibal
“How about a spin on the classic "Hansel & Gretel" tale starring singer Natti Vogel and porn star Colby Keller? If that titillating prospect tickles your fancy, you're in luck, because Vogel is serving up just that - piping hot and still squirming—in his Rebecca Rojer-directed video for ‘Cannibal.’”
—MTV / Brenna Ehrlich
“Quirky, dark, sensual and theatrical with a rich, baroque voice”
—MTV
“The song is a cabaret-pop gem about wanting to be consumed by a lover.”

The Hello EP
“It's not hard to imagine New Yorker Natti Vogel tossing your own overpriced cosmopolitan in your face across his piano. Vogel pairs his playfully menacing cabaret melodies with plenty of fun and whimsy, but there's also a twinge of sarcasm and mockery on such tunes as "The Corporate Bohemian" and "The Anorexia Song." That said, it's not Gawker set to music: Vogel's tunes also carry a romantic yearning to get away from all that stuff.
