Editorial Reviews

Product Description
International version features a completely running order, track listing and artwork. Seven tracks in all were dropped from the 2008 US version (entitled Pocket Full of Sunshine,) How Do You Do?, I Wanna Have Your Babies, Tricky Angel, (No More) What Ifs - featuring Eve, When You Know You Know, Stepping Stone and Smell The Roses.2007 sophomore album by the UK singing sensation. N.B. is very much reflective of this 'different place' that she is in now, proving that affairs of the heart, although difficult, make for excellent song-writing material. Each track on the album explores a varying stage of the 'relationship' story, and the issues, experiences, and processes that come with these stages: from the lonely place of never feeling like you will fit with anyone ('Soulmate'), through the flirting, dancing stage where you feel you might ('How Do You Do?'), to the moment at which the game playing ends and open honesty prevails ('Say It Again'). Never one to mouth empty platitudes or re-hash well-worn clich‚s, Natasha's gift for creating Pop music that does not sacrifice intelligence on the altar of universal appeal prevails throughout. On N.B., Natasha worked with a stellar team of talent including Mike Elizondo of Eminem/Dre/50 Cent fame, Adam Levine (Maroon 5), Greg Kurstin (Beck, Lily Allen), previous collaborators Steve Kipner, Andrew Frampton, Wayne Wilkins, Danielle Brisebois and Wayne Rodrigues and long time Madonna collaborator Pat Leonard. 14 tracks including the first single 'I Wanna Have Your Babies'. Sony/BMG. 2007.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good follow up to Unwritten but..., March 26, 2008

By	Paula L "BritBookWorm" (Salt Lake City, Utah United States) - See all my reviews

The second album is never as good but in the case of NB there's a good reason. Natasha's first album was never out of my CD player or my Itunes playlist. NB is growing on me - slowly. But whereas her first album was very 'her' this one seems to have the heavy hand of the record label all over it. I like the songs and her distinctiveness is still there but why release different versions of the same album in the US and Europe. Record company profits! I recommend buying NB - the import - and downloading the songs from Pocketful of Sunshine off Itunes. Hopefully the label will leave her alone for album number three.

5.0 out of 5 stars She's Still a DOLL......, March 25, 2008

By	Robert C. Hufford (Hopewell, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

....though on this one the "Sunshine" lets in a couple of clouds. This is the UK version of the US bestseller "Pocketful of Sunshine". It's longer, having seven numbers that were dropped off of the American release. Maybe tastes are different across the pond; here, we get some sadness.

This is a wonderful album by a pretty girl with a fabulous, and understandable, voice. [OK, I've already admitted my weakness for gorgeous blondes]. Two numbers that were deleated when the album crossed the ocean stand out: "I Wanna Have Your Babies" [self-evident message if I ever saw one], and "Tricky Angel" both have an edge that the producers felt might not translate into "American". Still, this is a "feel good" album in every respect.

Natasha is a treasure...her great talent is well-supported, and the album is fully five stars. As for which release you should buy, that's a no-brainer; get BOTH. You'll be delighted. Promise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, September 13, 2007

By	Emily R. Jarrell "emma34" (Newport News, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Natasha is incredible, a class act who can truly sing. I love her lyrics and the song Soulmate. You need to go to her website and take a listen.
