PREMIERE: Dear Dear Unveils New Single “Natural”

Dear Dear, the project of singer/songwriter, poet and fashion designer Chase Cohl, is releasing their debut album death of a fairytale this October. Following up lead single “A Woman’s Fault” last month, Cohl has unveiled “Natural,” a Dusty Springfield-conjuring, anthemic rock track that fuses string-heavy soul music with gospel and theatrical textures.

The song deftly layers Cohl’s singing with backing harmonies that pay immediate homage to mid-century girl groups, like The Ronettes, The Crystals and The Shangri-Las. The attitude and confidence on “Natural” is immense and reflective. The track’s retro gloss never muddies the message nor the timelessness of its soundscape. It’s a riveting introduction to Cohl’s artistry; a brilliant first chapter of an album that’s destined to dazzle.

About “Natural,” Cohl says: “I wrote this song with all of my friends in mind as an empowerment anthem in low confidence moments. Record making can get over-emotional or intense at times, and I wanted to just make a really good old school tune to boogie to, to help us feel an excitement in our bodies to move to it.”
