Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

In the United Kingdom, New Zealand-born Natasha Bedingfield and brother Daniel Bedingfield have seemingly taken up permanent residence at the top of the pop charts. He's an earnest rocker with a dance music bent. She's an altogether more exciting prospect--a singer-songwriter who refuses to sit still, charging through decadent R&B ("Single"), jittery electro-pop ("I'm A Bomb") and first-class balladry ("I Bruise Easily"), invoking the likes of Beyonce and Gwen Stefani. And, okay, sometimes Nelly Furtado. An all-star production team, including former Robbie Williams collaborator Guy Chambers, makes for a debut that sounds like an instant greatest-hits set--just add cheekbones. --Aidin Vaziri

5.0 out of 5 stars Wicked cool January 9, 2006
Format:Audio CD
I was actually in the midst of folding four loads of laundry, when Natasha Bedingifelds album started playing on my pc, and I got so lost in it again, I had to drop what I was doing and give this girl some props. This is an amazing cd, with music so catchy, so cool and simply a pleasure to listen to that I'm a total fan for life.

I guess to compare her to other similar artists, which they probably don't like to have done to them, Id say she reminds me of Fiona Apple, Joss Stone , Alanis Morisette and of course her own core, but to be a good reviewer I like to draw comparisons at times.

"These Words" is one of the best songs I've heard, ever. It makes you want to get up and dance, and it comes in some great remixes that have their own CD available for sale here.

"Size Matters" is another song that will make you tap your foot under your desk at work, or make you skip a step in your walk, you might even sing along.

"Wild Horses" a sweet ballad but no cavities here, its sweet but it's secretly has a killer tunes that sound like it was created by a seasoned music aficionado.

Natasha has an earthy voice but she's slick, her music is not stuff, boring but is cool to the point that you are not embarrassed to listen to it in front of your friends. The choruses in her songs are great and have a real purpose. She's not the kind of girl who wants to be famous so she can do photo shoots and have makeovers. She has talent and she wants the world to be her outlet. She also writes her own songs, and she has so much to say!

I love it, and you will too! Branch out, listen to different artists, take a chance, you might be pleasantly surprised.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sony Rootkit....Buyer Beware November 7, 2005
The infamous Sony Rootkit fiasco, detailed at http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/10/sony-rootkits-and-digital-rights.html is present on this CD. I have confirmed its existence on a PC that played this disc and have a very high suspicion of it as the cause of many system instabilities on that PC (still under investigation).

If you like the music and want to support Ms. Bedingfield, attend one of her concerts, but do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT BUY THIS CD!

Sony must be sent a message that their behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. In general, avoid all "CONTENT/SOPY PROTECTED" or "ENHANCED" discs. They can no longer be trusted from anyone, especially any Sony published discs.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Debut Album From One Of 2004's Best New Stars December 11, 2004
Format:Audio CD
In 2001 Daniel Bedingfield burst onto the scene with his debut single "Gotta Get Thru This" which became a massive UK No.1 single. His album followed similar success throughout 2002 and 2003 selling more than 1 million copies. Then in 2004 as he took a break to record his new album, his young sister, Miss Natasha Bedingfield, also burst onto the scene! A lot of people were sceptical to begin with as they thought she was just cashing in on the already-famous Bedingfield name, but the music soon spoke for itself. In the UK Natasha has experienced amazing success in 2004 and I'm sure this success will only continue into 2005.

After the Top 3 success of her first two singles in the UK, Natasha released her debut album "Unwritten." It went straight to No.1 in September 2004. The album itself is, for a first album, very good indeed. The music has many elements to it that make it a memorable debut, including pop, soul, rock, indie, and dance. Natasha incorporates all these themes into the songs on this album to create something that isn't just your typical pop album, but something a little bit different - a little bit left of the middle. A lot of artists do this and can't still appeal to the mass public, but Natasha has done it effortlessly here.

The album opens with the superb "These Words." The second single to be released from the album in August 2004, this song went straight to No.1 in the UK and has become one of the year's most played radio hits. It's not hard to see why because it's a breezy, upbeat song that just flows in the beautiful choruses with Natasha's gritty vocals. "Single" is the next song, and was Natasha's debut single. She sings of being independent and on her own, but we've heard all this before from Destiny's Child, Christina, Britney, etc. The song itself is good but it never really attracted my attention. "I'm A Bomb" is much better, thankfully, and is definitely worthy of being a single. The word play and clever lyrical style works well here along with the hard and loud guitars. "Unwritten" is the third and latest single to be released from the album and became a big Top 10 hit. It's a light and breezy song with a very memorable backing. The choir works very well and the chorus is also very well constructed. Someone said this sounded a bit like an Alanis Morissette song. It doesn't.

"I Bruise Easily" is another beautiful song and has a very chilled, mid-tempo feel to it. I love the beat on this song and the piano is very emotional. Natasha sings of how she's very fragile in the middle, despite her racy, brave exterior. It's a really nice song because you can relate to it very well, and the way her vocals go all breathy in the chorus makes you feel this. "If You're Gonna..." totally switches back to Natasha's daredevil nature in a fast, loud rocky pop song about taking risks in life. I love the chorus where she sings, "If you're gonna jump, then jump far! Skip the 'um' and 'ahh.' If you wanna hit the high notes then you gotta be a Diva!" The way her voice rises on 'Diva' is so funny! "Silent Movie" is another fantastic song, but it took quite a lot of listening to get me to like it. It opens very strangely like something out of an old silent movie from the 1920's where all the screen is dull and crackly, with a yellow tint to it. The chorus soon kicks in and is very refreshing. "We're All Mad" is another superb song with a catchy beat that's similar to track 4. The chorus is very strong as is the case with most of the other songs here, and the build up to it is probably the best part of the song.

"Frogs & Princes" is a really strange song that sounds like something right out of a Disney movie set in an alternative universe. The blips and beeps work very well, and the chorus is really swift. That's the only way I can really describe it because, unfortunately, it sounds like something from the Spice Girls album "Forever!" The next song, "Drop Me In The Middle," features Bizarre from D-12 and just doesn't really fit with the album. The song itself is alright, but I really hate D-12 and just to have him on an album doesn't work. Plus, Natasha makes completely different music to him and his band. "Wild Horses" thankfully is a much better song. She sings about wanting to go out into the big wide world and be free of negativity, but it's easier said than done. Horses are used as the metaphor to put this across, and I think she does it very well. "Size Matters" is a jaunty little pop number about the size of a man's heart and how he uses it. It's a bit of a corny song, because we all know what people refer to when they talk about a man's size! "Peace Of Me" closes the album but it's not a very memorable song.

OVERALL GRADE: 7/10

I'd definitely recommend this album to people who like artists such as Nelly Furtado and Alicia Keys. It has an 'alternative' appeal to it, but not really alternative to the point of abstraction from, say, Bjork or Tori Amos. I've still yet to buy an album by Daniel, and I really want his debut because I loved all the six singles that were released from it. Natasha's a better artist in my opinion because I really love this album. I can't see myself listening to it in say ten year's time, but who knows? Make up your own mind - everyone's talking about her.

Wild Horses is the standout track on this album. It's wistful, self-reflective, wanting, regretful, scared. Beautiful melody and sung with great emotion. Excellent!

I want to buy the Natasha Bedingfield CD, but i don't want viruses
The Sony Dual Disc version of "Unwritten" doesn't have the Spyware. Sony made it that way because of complaints like yours. Hope I helped!
