Urban Angel, is Natalie Walker's solo album debut, was co-written by Natalie and two-man production team Stühr. "I worked with two really great producers out of Brooklyn, Dan Chen and Nate Greenberg. They'd send me the rough copy of a song and the music would just evoke emotion," she explains. "Its like fitting pieces of a puzzle together. When you're in the studio recording its all very raw and real. I try to make a song new each time I sing it. I want it to be unforgettable. My producers are amazing. They forced me to develop my real voice. I've improved my vibrato and my tone. Stuhr delivered exactly what I asked of them. It couldn't have happened more perfectly."
