New local artists? Natasha and Kat Deluna

Anyone who knows me knows I'm not really a hard core fan of any kind of music. If anything, I just listen to what catches my ear and is popular at the time. That being said, the few times that I do search out music, I am pleasantly surprised at what's new.

I stumbled across Kat Deluna in The Current, a local newspaper in Hoboken. Kat lives somewhere in Hoboken, and I'm more than happy to support anyone local. She has a background in Opera (which she flexes her skills in her video below) and I would say she is influenced by Shakira.



I stumbled across Natasha's music video at a bar last night. They were just playing music videos on a big screen. I heard the song before I saw it, and at first I thought it was Beyonce. Her song "Hey hey hey" below has the same style rap-singing that Beyonce would do, but I was surprised by the actual rapping. The best part? Natasha is from Absecon, NJ, which is the town right next to where I grew up. So again, I don't mind supporting a local. See Natasha's myspace page for more info.



I'll be keeping my eyes on these girls for a while. I hope they'll succeed in the biz. It would be nice to say that I've been following them since the beginning when they become super famous.
