Natalie Gauci returns to the spotlight with a glorious new single, the sexy, seductive, soul-influenced track “Best of Me” from her 2010 EP, “I’m Ready”. The single features Natalie’s undeniably powerful vocals and highly regarded songwriting skills, as evidenced through her poetic lyrics.

“Best of Me” appears in the new Australian feature film, the romantic comedy Big Mamma’s Boy, starring Holly Valance and Frank Lotito. Set for cinema release on July 28, Big Mamma’s Boy follows the story of Rocco Pilegi as he struggles to choose between the love of his life and his doting, over protective Italian mother. The spirit of “Best of Me” is a perfect fit for the heart-warming movie, which features a cameo role from Natalie herself! The video for “Best Of Me” is centered on a live performance from Natalie and her band, and completed with excerpts from the movie.

Natalie can barely contain her enthusiasm for this new project, saying “Best Of Me is a song that is very close to my heart, I wrote it about opening all of my heart to someone I really liked, wanting to share it all and was pretty much was rejected. I’m very excited to be a part of this movie release, and I can’t wait to play my new music live. These songs are very special to me, I’ve put my heart and soul into creating them over the last three years and they will feature on my new album later in the year. I’m looking forward to sharing them with everyone. ”

Natalie released her first EP “Take it or Leave it” in 2006, it went on to make the Billboard World Song writing contest top 500 in 2007. The EP was discovered by Triple J´s "Unearthed" competition, after which Natalie went on to win the 2007 series of Australian Idol. Her follow up single “Here I Am” reached #2 on the ARIA Singles Chart and the album “The Winner’s Journey“ went on to achieve platinum status. Natalie then commenced a sold out national tour, and formed a new band, Tune In Tokyo, whose debut single "Dreamer" rocked the top 3 of the ARIA Club Charts.

In 2010, Natalie released her second EP “I’m Ready” – the lead single “Without You”, released via German Label “Sorry Shoes”, hit #1 on several European progressive dance charts and achieved Top 30 on German Dance Charts (DDC), remaining in the chart for more than 8 weeks.
