Natalie Prass captured hearts when she released her self-titled debut in 2015, which she recorded with the legendary team at Spacebomb studios in Richmond, VA. From there, Prass performed at a bunch of festivals, released a covers EP (which included her take on “The Sound Of Silence,” “Caught Up In The Rapture,” and *gasp* “REALiTi“), and endured one too many comparisons to Disney princesses. Prass’ singing voice is undeniably remarkable, and it’s one we’ve missed over the past year.

Today, Prass announced that her sophomore album, The Future And The Past, will be out in June. She recorded the album with Spacebomb’s Matthew E. White but is now signed to ATO Records, joining acts like Alabama Shakes, Jessica Lea Mayfield, Benjamin Booker, and Margaret Glaspy. The album’s lead single, “Short Court Style,” is a funky, elated love song with a choral hook that’ll hit your sweet spot. It’s the kind of song that was scientifically designed to put a smile on your face without trying too hard. Prass just has the attitude to pull it off.

The accompanying video for “Short Court Style” was directed by Erica Prince and Prass herself. Shot in a wintry playground, the clip is a simple and inspired visualization of a joyful piece of pop music. Watch Prass lead a posse of ribbon dancers in the video and check out The Future And The Past’s tracklist below.
