Words by Jesse Serwer—

After some much-needed time off, our very own punanyologist Natalie Storm is back on her grind again. Fresh off her recent write-up in the U.K. Guardian (courtesy of our own U.K. contributor Marvin Sparks), not to mention her turn on Dre Skull’s Loudspeaker riddim—and even a new Punany Monologue—she’s got a feature on producer Poirier‘s Alert Riddim (on Germany’s Man Recordings) called “Gal U Good.” If you follow Natalie’s moves, you know she doesn’t make dancehall, she makes electrofied garrison dancehall, and you could probably describe Alert the same way. Definitely a scorcher. Stream it below, get the full riddim (also featuring voicings from Face-T and MC Zulu) here and, as ever, stay tuned for more Natalie Storm on LargeUp.
