Natural Thing is the debut studio album by American singer Tanya Blount, released on March 8, 1994 under Polydor Records.

The album peaked at No.

58 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart[1] and features the top 40 R&B hit, "Through the Rain", "I'm Gonna Make You Mine" and "Hold On".

AllMusic editor William Ruhlmann called Blount a "competent but unexceptional R&B singer".

He found that with Natural Thing she undertook to copy the quiet storm formula of Anita Baker on her debut album [...] but nothing about the record suggested she would be any real competition to Baker or other adult Black pop figures any time soon.
