Power-pop at its finest, 9 Red Sun is sure to hit your radio airwaves in no time
author: Spin.comHoly energy! I'd love to see this band live. With unbridled passion, lead singer Natalia Bortolotti delivers vocals that are dynamic and powerful. Lyrics are reminiscent of old school punk pop a la Blondie. When it comes to confident songwriting, 9 Red Sun is at the top of their game. "Growing Up in Public" will have you jumping around like a madman! Power-pop at its finest, 9 Red Sun is sure to hit your radio airwaves in no time.
9 Red Sun is one step away from chart topping success!
author: Music-Tech.netNatalia Bortolotti, the voice behind 9 Red Sun, knows who she is, singing a winsome “Queen of the Free” in the Paula Cole pop tradition—except a clean guitar replaces the piano. “Your Only Other” and “1000 Open Windows” offer dramatic concerns of a woman caught in mid-evolution and have been featured on shows like Dawson’s Creek and Charmed. "Growing Up In Public" and "The System" are high-energy power-pop in the vein of Green Day, with catchy melodies I still can't get out of my head. "Hey Romeo" is an upbeat radio-ready pop single in the vein of Sheryl Crow. 9 Red Sun is one step away from chart topping success!
9 Red Sun cranks out high-energy quirky rock in the vein of No Doubt meets Green
author: Discovering Artists.com9 Red Sun cranks out high-energy quirky rock in the vein of No Doubt meets Green Day, with melodic passionate vocals, that bring to mind Debbie Harry and Chrissie Hynde, but also the power and range of Pat Benetar. The lyrics are amusing yet insightful. In "Growing Up In Public," Natalia Bortolotti sings, "I've never been a joiner/that includes the human race." 9 Red Sun has a bright future ahead of them, and I am eager to watch them rise to success.

9 Red Sun's music is beyond power-pop
author: Soundcheck Magazine9 Red Sun's music is beyond power-pop. Yes, their songs have catchy melodies and edgy guitars, but their thoughtful lyrics and emotional delivery - filled with depth and sincerity - sets them apart from their musical peers. All the tracks on Basking in the Shade are instantly memorable, pairing passionate vocals with punk-n-roll guitars in "Growing Up In Public" and "The System," and sweet harmony in "Your Only Other." Natalia Bortolotti, 9 Red Sun's lead singer and primary songwriter, has an impressive voice, and a mature songwriting style, that belies her age (20-something). The arrangements are accessible and familiar, yet have enough surprises to keep your attention. 9 Red Sun has the talent and potential necessary to take their music to the next level, in fact, they have everything they need to become the next No Doubt or Maroon 5: the voice, the songs, and the star (Natalia Bortolotti). There is no development needed here. This is an A&R's wet dream: a band with a DIY mentality, a growing regional base, impressive stats and long-term potential.
