A contemporary R&B vocalist from Amsterdam,
Natalie La Rose was signed to
Flo Rida's International Music Group -- after she approached the rapper at an ESPY Awards after party -- but eventually landed on Republic, a label distributed by Universal Music Group. Her debut single for Republic, "Somebody," was a low-key club track in the vein of
Tinashe's 2014 hit "2 On." "Somebody" featured
Jeremih, who provided the
Whitney Houston-referencing hook. It was released in January 2015 and became an international hit, landing in the Top Ten on the U.S. singles chart. ~ Andy Kellman
