She spent the better part of the past decade singing lead alongside her brother Elliot Bergman in their duo Wild Belle, but the night she was about to hit the stage at Radio City Music Hall, her life changed. A coroner called with news that their father and stepmother had been killed by a drunk driver.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\"><span class=\"\">Music and faith have always been at the forefront of the Bergman family, and rather than crawl into a cave of darkness and dread, Natalie decided to spend many days in silence at a monastery in the Chama Valley. It was there she learned she would embark on <\/span><span class=\"\"><i>Mercy<\/i><\/span><span class=\"\">, and as she began writing and recording, the collection of songs channeled her cathartic reverence for traditional gospel music \u2013 in her words, the true source of rock \u2019n&#8217; roll.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/NB_TalkToTheLord_still_daisy-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/NB_TalkToTheLord_still_daisy-copy.jpg 1243w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/NB_TalkToTheLord_still_daisy-copy-259x300.jpg 259w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/NB_TalkToTheLord_still_daisy-copy-885x1024.jpg 885w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/NB_TalkToTheLord_still_daisy-copy-768x888.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">Throughout her years in Wild Belle, the LA-based, Chicago-bred Natalie Bergman has collaborated with the likes of Elvis Costello, Major Lazer and Tom Tom Club, opened for Beck, Cage The Elephant and Toro y Moi, played Coachella, <em>The Tonight Show<\/em> and more. On <\/span><span class=\"\"><i>Mercy<\/i><\/span><span class=\"\">, her sweeping spectrum of creativity is finally on full display, from the three-dimensional artwork seen in &#8216;Talk To The Lord&#8217;, to her striking sense of style and the best songs she says she\u2019s ever written. Natalie adds:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"\"><span class=\"\">\u201cMy faith and my music are crucial to my existence. I sing a lot about home on this record. My Paradiso, my Heaven. Believing in that place has been my greatest consolation. I had an urgency and desperation to know that my father was there. His sudden death was a whirling chaos that assaulted my mind. Gospel music gives me hope. It is the good news. It\u2019s exemplary. It can bring you truth. It can keep you alive. This album provided me with my only hope for coming back to life myself.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mercy-cover-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mercy-cover-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mercy-cover-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mercy-cover-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mercy-cover-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mercy-cover-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mercy-cover-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mercy-cover-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mercy-cover-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mercy-cover-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"\"><i>Mercy<\/i><\/span><span class=\"\"> marks the first newly recorded gospel album to be released by Third Man Records.
