Save Your Kisses

Natasha Thomas on the cover or her first album, "Save Your Kisses".

Speaking of her start, what a start it was! With her single "Save Your Kisses for Me", released at the beginning of June 2004, the then 17-year-old Dame Natasha Thomas scored a hit hat-trick with her first three releases. In the summer of 2003 the young singer's debut single "Why (Does Your Love Hurt So Much)" went straight into the top 40 of the German single charts (and airplay top 4), while her second single "It's Over Now" just missed breaking into the top ten, peaking at number twelve(!). The mid-tempo love song, which features the Tobagon reggae artist Sugar Daddy (who has already worked with Buju Banton, Sizzia and Capleton), also made it into the top twenty of the airplay charts.

And those who waited to see more of Natasha Thomas were in for a treat. Natasha was selected to represent one of the world's best-known and most important fashion label, Lacoste. As the new worldwide "Lacoste face" Natasha was seen from May 2004 onwards in a pan-European print and TV campaign alongside the French tennis ace Arnauld Clement (currently number 26 in the world rankings). The advert was directed by Bruno Aveillan (Nissan, Perrier, Nintendo and others), who in the course of his career has already filmed top stars such as Claudia Schiffer. Natasha was also seen worldwide in the "Touch of Pink" Lacoste perfume print and TV ads. "Touch of Pink" went on to win 2 prestigious FiFi Awards in Berlin in April 2005, including the public's choice award.

Playin With Fire

Natasha or her second work "Playin With Fire".

With so many young people clamouring for major label redord deals, standing in line for hours at casting shows and doing just about anything to get noticed, Danish pop singer Natasha Thomas, just 18 years old has done what most teenagers would consider to be the unthinkable. She asked to be released from her worldwide recording contract with Sony Music and has started her own record company along with her management. This is a move most people in their 30's would not have the guts to do, but for Natasha, "It just feels like the right things" She says without hesitation. Natasha has recently begun work on her second album, picking out producers, coreographers, writing her own songs, singing live and also picking the right partners around the world to promote and distribute her future records.

What does Natasha have to say about her experiences of the past 2 years? "I am gratefull for the experience and for my fans and i am looking forward to working hard to bring the fans something that is truly me. The record company had a plan for the last record, they had the concept already in place for the music and image. Nobody counted on me having a brain or an opinion, much less creative ideas. I know everyone needs a bit of coaching, but this was different. That may be fine for a lot of people that may just want to be famous, but it was never fine with me. I know everyone was just doing their jobs and that I am lucky to find out really young that is not for me. I want to have a say in the music that I do and I want to be honest. I feel like I owe myself and the fans that much."

Her 4th single and the 1st one from her second album, "Skin Deep".

Natasha adds, "While I am open for guidance, suggestions and know that I have a lot to learn, I want the final say on what has my name on it in the future. Creating my own company and finding people who really believe in me was the only way I could imagine to insure that happening. I have so many ideas for videos, staging, lyrics production. I felt if I stayed where I was they would always see me a young girl who could not possibley have anything to offer other than looking good. I paid for half of my super expensive videos and had absolutely no creative say, not even in what I was wearing. While the videos were good, they were not what I would have chosen for myself. If I am paying €100.000 for a video from my record sales, I better love it! With all that said, I know it was a great start and for that I am grateful."
