Los Angeles, CA – Rising roots singer-songwriter, Natalie Del Carmen, released her new coming-of-age single, “Good Morning From Magnolia,” which tells the story of her search for identity and life’s purpose. Del Carmen’s folk and Americana roots combine beautifully with her pop sensibility to tell the story of her return to Los Angeles post-grad from music school. “Good Morning From Magnolia” is now available to stream and download on all platforms.
“Good Morning From Magnolia” delves into the emotional journey of seeking purpose and coming to the realization that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. With the warming strums of her acoustic guitar and inspirational vocals, the song cleverly comes full circle in Natalie Del Carmen’s life. The song displays the universal experience of social expectations and pressures creating insecurities when going through school and a larger coming-of-age narrative. Del Carmen’s lyrics “What I’ve longed for, I’ve now found the words, Oh, of who I’d like to be.” She sees driving down Magnolia Street, her favorite route as a teen, as a metaphorical space of reflection and introspection of her college years. “Though, it’s bittersweet because I did, indeed, have beautiful things, an abundance of good things, during a time I longed for better. The grass looked greener everywhere I wasn’t, and I was someone funnier, better approachable, and hip in faraway places…’Good Morning From Magnolia’ brings you there, as I was, reflecting through the lens of some average college parties, acquaintances, lonely nights, and longing,” says Del Carmen. This track encourages listeners to appreciate their own company and find happiness within. Through her lyrics, Del Carmen’s authenticity shines through when opening up about her struggles, aiming to convey the richness of life and all its facets. Following her previous single, “The Highway,” Natalie Del Carmen has once again collaborated with the Nashville team Brunjo to bring her story to life.
Natural-born artist Natalie Del Carmen ventured upon her musical endeavors at the age of eight, displaying her drive and dedication that has only grown stronger. Embracing the Americana genre post-college, she intends to express originality and profound experiences. Her debut album Bloodline and the Tandem Songs EP’s early success continues attracting fans to her unique fusion of Americana, country, folk, and pop. “Good Morning From Magnolia” is Del Carmen’s follow-up to her earlier 2024 singles “You Weren’t Even Listening” and “The Highway,” which received praise from Holler, Buzzbands LA, and Americana UK. This latest single highlights her evolution, accumulated through her studies at the prestigious Berklee College of Music to now, finding her footing in the industry, recording in Nashville, and gigging around Los Angeles. Her grandfather’s 1930s banjo highlights her distinctive sound, enriching her family’s musical legacy.
