Mission - Natalie Clark (Pop) In “Mission”, Natalie Clark is on a…well, mission. The track is a slow burn and cinematic, with a great beat drop moment in the second chorus which elevates the song into anthemic territory. The record feels like it would be at home on a streaming show—providing the music to a montage that shows a heroine’s rise after her fall. Delivering the mantra of empowerment, Natalie’s vocal is mature and sultry, expertly produced and commanding the track. There’s a Nicole Scherzinger way about it, which feels like an apt reference due to some of the late 00s early 10s synths and pads used throughout. Well produced and vocal forward, if Natalie was out to make a bop, she completed her mission.
Best Lyric: “It’s the phoenix in me.”
