For many bedroom producers, Daniel Bedingfield's debut must seem like a dream come true. A songwriter, home producer, and vocalist whose laptop recording of the title track was one of the biggest hits of 2001 in the UK, Bedingfield makes music that's one part Prince, one part Michael Jackson, and one part UK Garage. Poppy soul-funk in the vein of Cameo, he possesses a distinctive edge that sets him apart from countless other '80s revivalists. A softer side of Bedingfield emerges on "If You're Not the One," a ballad that could easily be dismissed as generic album-filling slush but, with a few listens, proves to be the kind of well-crafted song Jackson's Invincible lacked. One gripe: the re-recorded version of "Gotta Get Thru This," while far more polished and professional than its predecessor, lacks the infectious, raw groove of the original. Still, this album demonstrates how pop music should be made--with a strong emphasis on skill rather than image. --David Trueman

This CD has about 4 or more bonus songs than the original released in the U.S. I found it to be very affordable especially New and I went with the cheapest shipping option that gave them a month+ to ship it but was glad when it arrived three days before the earliest estimated arrival date. I ordered something similar at the same time from a different company/site/dealer and it has yet to arrive. The only Negative review I can give is a day or two after I ordered it they lowered the price yet again, but did me no good as the transaction was already completed.

I will say that this cd is Brilliant. I was givin this as a gift in Dec of 2002 while I was living in the UK. It is sad to think that such a great artist with great talent is not played here in the US. Anyone who likes Daniel Bedingfield would defintiley enjoy this cd. It is over priced though, but definitley not a waste of money or time. Daniel is huge in the UK and his single for"your not the one for me" he released as a single in Nov 2002 on a uk show called top of the pops,which thay do play on BBCAmerica time and again but keep in mind everything on BBC is behind. Thay play it a ton in the UK and there is a dance mix to that song as well. I want to tell everyone and anybody PURCHASE this CD, give Daniel the play he deserves here.. Cheers
