Nat Vazer is an Australian singer-songwriter from Melbourne. Her debut extended play (EP), We Used to Have Real Conversations, was released in 2018.
Life and career
Vazer has been described by the magazine WithGuitars as "a warm, charismatic, and contemplative, singer songwriter with a penchant for writing charmingly rebellious tunes about the ironies of everyday life".[1] A classically trained pianist who previously played in punk bands,[1] she began a music career based in Melbourne, Victoria, after breaking from an office job.[2]
"Keep Away from Parks" was Vazer's first single, released in January 2018 and written in reaction to an incident in which a police offer told her not go out at night nor without a man.[3] Her next single, the dream pop song "You're Winning Me Over", with a jangly guitar riff and about reforming a relationship, was released in June.[3][4] This was followed in September by "Struggletown", addressing modern life in a destructive 9-to-5 environment, yet with an easygoing melody and more of a jazz or doo-wop feel (compared to her normal indie pop/pop rock genre).[5][6] Reviewing "Struggletown", James Alvarez of Get Some magazine praised Vazer's "haunting voice and an uncanny ear for Beach Boys melodies".[7]
Vazer's debut extended play, We Used to Have Real Conversations, was released 21 September 2018, containing the three preceding singles and also the songs "Privilege", "Restless", and "Summer Holiday".[8] "Privilege", about coming to awareness of white privilege, was itself released as a single in November and is inspired by the series Dear White People and the diaries of Kurt Cobain.[8]
