Natalia Clavier's new album, Nectar, marks the first ever release by a solo female artist in ESL's history, (Thievery Corporation's record label) and was recorded at D.C's Consulate studios last year between her hectic touring schedule; singing live with Thievery Corporation and Federico Aubele. Nectar is built on sensual rhythms and Latin flourishes; featuring the steady thump of "El Arbol," the soaring majesty of "Azul," the sly tango of "Ay De Mi," and the languid beauty of title track "Nectar."

A native Argentinean, Clavier has lived a lifetime of music. Born and raised in Buenos Aires, she was exposed by her mother at an early age to a constant stream of music ranging from classical, Argentinean folk, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, singer-songwriters from Spain, to soul music from North America. She began singing in school choirs at the age of three, and at eleven was performing as a soloist for a state sponsored kids music and theater show to packed houses at Teatro de Las Provincias Argentinas , one of the largest concert halls in the city. After a short time acting with local troupes and companies, Natalia met a variety of musicians and joined an ethnic/electronic/acoustic outfit called Cosmic Ja-Ja. After some time performing live in Argentina she moved to Barcelona. In Barcelona, Natalia immediately hit the jazz circuit and launched herself into the electronic music scene by contributing vocals to house and techno singles and even singing live at raves in front of thousands. Quickly establishing herself in the local scene, she was introduced to a young guitarist and ex-pat from Argentina named Federico Aubele. The two became fast friends and Federico asked her to tour with him and eventually, to sing on his new album Panamericana. Having always sung in languages other than Spanish, Natalia felt a new and irresistible calling to express herself in her native tongue. With Federico's help and support, Natalia composed and recorded an impressive 10-track demo, which came into the hands of Eric Hilton of Thievery Corporation. He was immediately taken by her singing talent and within the month Natalia Clavier became ESL Music's newest solo artist, and first female artist.
