Cosmic Songbird, also known as Natalie Farrell, unveils her spellbinding debut album, No Longer Lost, released on September 22, 2025. This celestial record, comprising poetry and spirit in its music, was created in close collaboration with composer and singer-songwriter Frances Yonge. It transcends genre, weaving threads of classical, ambient, and cinematic sound into something luminous and humane.
Emerging from Natalieโs poetry collection Light the Way, the project blossomed into a full-bodied sonic journey exploring transformation, awakening, and the feminine spirit. With orchestration and sound design by Sam Hall and mastering by Paul Sayers, No Longer Lost feels vast and intimate as an album that breathes, glows, and transforms as it plays.
The opening track, โOphelia,โ sets the tone with haunting grace. Natalieโs sonorous, operatic voice, floats over a shimmering, glittering bed of sound. The instrumentation feels fluid, almost like moonlight rippling over water, as she sings with the poise of someone telling an ancient story. The sacred vulnerability draws you inward. The composition itself unfolds patiently, like a spell being cast, blending shimmering textures with emotional weight until it becomes almost trance-like.
Further along, โLunaโ rises like a nocturnal prayer. It begins with glinting, crystalline percussion that pulses gently, as if marking the rhythm of the cosmos. Natalieโs dreamy, ascending vocals soon follow with wonder and surrender. Her voice soars through the soundscape, ethereal yet grounded, echoing the mystery of its lunar muse. The production builds subtlyโno sharp edges, just glowing crescendos and reverent silences.
By the end of No Longer Lost, itย transcends language, shimmering somewhere between music, meditation, and magic. Cosmic Songbird doesnโt just singโshe channels.
