Although there is surely more of a back-story than that, this was when she started writing songs and playing guitar. The Brooklyn, NY-based project itself began two years later as a solo endeavor but soon became a band when Daniel Siles, Maciej Lewandowski, and Juan Pablo Siles joined.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eOn Thelma's self-titled debut, Natasha doubles down on at least one aspect of the tale; she asserts her right to be fallen. In doing so, Thelma reveals both a self that has been projected onto her as well as the fantasy of her own projected self. While the songwriter's falsetto is effortless and pure - its brilliant intricacies conveying playfulness and impetuousness - these seven songs are anything but pure. They make no pretense of representing a natural or spontaneous expressive moment. They are fastidious. And they are gigantic. If anything, the songs exude that most impure, un-sweet, un-angelic motivation: ambition. Within the lyrics too there is a thematic insistence on the writer not wanting to be pure or objectified.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eAbove all, Thelma demonstrates real work; an exacting, intricate, sometimes beautifully sparse production with contrastingly serendipitous vocals. It demands attention to the band as a whole, and to Natasha Jacob's work as a composer, vocalist, and a wildly intense guitarist. - Akiva Zamcheck\u003cp\u003eIf You Let It\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite Couches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoxie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeach\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpool\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaha\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThelma\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55164609692033,"sku":"645195","price":11.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/31p4mzmc2fL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768020270","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/645195","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
