Brief excerpt:

"The United States has reported at least 400,000 deaths from Covid-19 since the pandemic began, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University as of Tuesday afternoon.

That's more than the number of Americans who died in World War I, Vietnam War and the Korean War combined, and nearly as many Americans who died in World War II. It's far higher than any other country's Covid-19 death toll..."

Brief (singing voice) comment: I've listened off and on to this artist for a few years now. It seems to me that she's using her voice better than ever right now. It sounds nice and relaxed, in a good, comfortable range, and with (at least) a touch of soulfulness in this new track. Good backing harmonies (etc.) here also..

..I think that Natalie is a lady in her (age) thirties right now. Sometimes that can be the very best time for a female singing voice (..IMO:)
