Natalie is the first album by American singer Natalie Nicole Alvarado. It was released by Universal Records on May 17, 2005. Chiefly produced by Happy Perez, the album debuted at number 16 on the US Billboard 200, selling over 50,000 copies in its first week.
The album features Natalie's debut single "Goin' Crazy", which peaked at number 13 on Billboard's US Hot 100 chart. Follow-up single "Energy", which features Baby Bash, became a minor hit, peaking at number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 2005; no video was produced for the single. The third single to be released was "Where Are You", featuring Justin Roman, which he had originally recorded a year prior with Latin girl group Soluna, but was scrapped.

| AllMusic |    [1] |
AllMusic editor Jason Birchmeier found that "if you're down with the other Latium artists, or if you like fellow urban pop sweethearts like Ciara, Natalie is tailor-made to suit your taste. Plus, there's a curious pair of covers that make the album all the more inviting: an American Idol-style number featuring Justin Roman of Making the Band ("Where Are You") and a Spanish-language version of "Goin' Crazy" that just might top the original."[1]
