Natalie Jean “We Rise”: New Pop Single from the Award-Winning Artist

 

From Poetic Roots to Pop Anthems: Natalie Jean’s Journey to “We Rise”

There is a specific kind of magic that happens when a lifelong poet finds their voice in music. For Natalie Jean, that transition wasn’t just a career move; it was an evolution. The award-winning singer-songwriter and Grammy Voting Member has just released her latest single, “We Rise,” and it’s the kind of soulful, high-energy pop track we need right now.

But to understand the power behind “We Rise,” you have to look at the woman behind the microphone.

A Legacy of Sound

Long before she was winning gold medals at the Global Music Awards, Natalie was a young girl in a house filled with melody. She grew up singing alongside her father, the renowned Haitian artist Guy R. Jean. Those early days formed the foundation of her artistry, teaching her that music isn’t just about notes—it’s about heritage and connection.

While she originally found her creative outlet through poetry, the pull of the stage was undeniable. In 2013, she stepped into the spotlight with her debut album Obsession, followed quickly by her self-titled breakthrough in 2014. Since then, she hasn’t slowed down, proving she’s just as comfortable singing Jazz at Twins Jazz or Takoma Station as she is performing at the French Embassy or the Cherry Blossom Festival.

Breaking the “Genre” Rules

One of the most refreshing things about Natalie is her refusal to be categorized. Most artists pick a lane and stay there, but Natalie explores everything. She has written and performed across:

  • Country and Rap

  • Dance and Heavy Metal

  • French and Haitian Creole Pop

This versatility is exactly why “We Rise” feels so layered. It’s a pop song, yes, but it carries the weight of a seasoned performer who has mastered the nuances of multiple musical worlds.

Why “We Rise” Matters

Following the success of her award-winning track “L’Amour a L’Infini,” her new single “We Rise” feels like a natural next step. It’s an anthem for anyone who has ever had to pick themselves up and keep moving. It’s gritty, it’s graceful, and it’s authentically Natalie.

Whether you’ve caught her live at Ebenizers Coffeehouse, heard her on WPFW in DC, or are just discovering her now on your favorite playlist, one thing is clear: Natalie Jean isn’t just making music; she’s making a statement.
