“In the end, what matters is doing something that lasts, whether it’s small or huge, but something in which you feel that you did the best and that remains for your history,” Nathy says about her next focus track, “LEGENDARIO” – watch here! . “I’ve learned to enjoy what I’m most passionate about, which is writing, being an artist, and embrace my own sensibility.”
The 11x Latin GRAMMY nominee teased the project alongside the first offering from the album, “APRENDER A AMAR,” an ode to self-love, co-written and co-produced by indie alternative artist pablopablo. “It’s like a mantra I’m telling myself and the whole world,” Nathy shares. “It’s essential and you can’t achieve it overnight. It’s work until the day you die.”
‘GRASA’ reveals a more mature and emboldened Nathy who asserts her unique capabilities as a songwriter and performer, seamlessly navigating rap, ballads, and tropical genres. For the first time, the Argentine-born, Spain-based artist reveals a more intimate and personal side in her lyrics, unafraid to open up about the growing pains and creative crises that come with fame, success and the pressures of modern stardom.
In Spanish, ‘GRASA’ evokes many different meanings and cultural subtexts, especially in her native Argentina, where the word can mean “tacky”, “tasteless” or “vulgar”. But Nathy, like her music, doesn’t want to limit herself to one definition: it could be how she proudly flaunts her body that doesn’t fit the mold of heteronormative expectations while publicly revering a slice of pizza or pasta on her social media feeds. Or it could evoke the richness of her musical arrangements, or even her zealous, all-in attitude of getting her hands dirty, in everything she does. She wants to reclaim the word and make it part of her universe: “For me it’s a state of mind, a lifestyle,” she says.
Nathy co-produced and co-wrote the 15 tracks in the album. Most tracks are the result of a close collaboration with Venezuelan musician and producer Manuel Lara (Kali Uchis, Bad Bunny) who also serves as executive producer with Nathy. ‘GRASA’ draws visual and stylistic inspiration from a diverse array of references – the cinematic grandeur of mafia lore, 1970s NYC salsa, current icons like Kendrick Lamar – but grounded in a contemporary sound. The album feels like the soundtrack of Nathy’s current moment as she pushes boundaries and defies expectations in her craft. It’s also the triumphant result of a deeply personal journey.
Her critically acclaimed 2020 debut album ‘Calambre’ catapulted Nathy to fame and success, winning “Best Alternative Album” at the 2021 Latin GRAMMYs, scoring hits with Bizarrap, C. Tangana and Tiago PZK, playing Coachella, selling out two Movistar Arenas in Buenos Aires and touring all over Spain. But her signature zeal and grueling work ethic came at a personal cost. In between performing, brand deals and releasing new music, in 2022 and 2023 she quickly got to work in the writing and production of new material that would serve as a follow up album. “It’s rooted in me, I’m a strong woman, but I lost track of my own humanity,” she says of her self-imposed high standards, which coupled with the pressures of the industry, and a series of romantic heartbreaks, compromised her mental health and left her emotionally unfulfilled. “I was like a robot telling myself, ‘I’m a gladiator’. But I had to relearn how to enjoy simple things in life that were not work.”
