Instead, Zukerman allows listeners to come to her at their own pace with her roomy arrangements, prose-style phrasing, and the come-hither sultriness of her slinky, earthy vocals.

"Natalia is a true poet. Her guitar work is dazzling in its intricacy, her voice deeply moving. Passionate and spirited, Natalia's songs touch you profoundly with their honesty and richness. Her voice is refreshing, angelic and soulful, with a sweetness that is i
