Naty Giachino Reimagines An Art-Rock Classic with ‘Chelsea Girls’

Naty Giachino, the Uruguayan/British singer-songwriter and drummer, has recently shared a captivating new single in ‘Chelsea Girls’, a faithful, yet fresh reimagining of the iconic Nico and The Velvet Underground track. Far from your typical cover, Naty takes the bare frame of the art-rock classic and injects a raw, rock-infused energy that will have you captivated.

At its core, Naty’s cover is an ode to some truly iconic figures, as Naty explained, "It pays homage to our obsession with Andy Warhol's 1970's 'New York' and Nico's tribute to her 'Factory Friends'." This passion and fascination is palpable in the track's driving guitars and powerful drums, a testament to her collaboration with guitarist Alex Scarfe, who also plays bass on the recording.

The inspiration for this unique take on ‘Chelsea Girls’ struck Naty and Alex during their stay at New York's infamous Hotel Chelsea. Steeped in artistic history and having housed countless creative minds, the hotel's atmosphere seeped into their music and took on a gorgeous sound that was both timeless and familiar, yet fresh and innovative.

‘Chelsea Girls’ is a bold and refreshing reinterpretation, staying true to the spirit of the original while forging a new path. In perfect form, it’s a bold and refreshing reinterpretation, staying true to the spirit of the original while forging a new path.

The single also offers a tantalising glimpse into Naty’s upcoming debut album, ‘Just a Drummer’, slated for release in March next year. The album promises a diverse mix of genres and languages, with songs composed in both English and Spanish.

This single showcases Naty’s transition from an acclaimed drummer to a compelling songwriter. With influences ranging from Nico and The Velvet Underground to Patti Smith and Suzanne Vega, her music is sure to resonate with fans of alternative and indie rock.
