    Real Sunshine From Natasha

    By ducdzui  Sep 21, 2008

    Pros: Fun and Catchy

    Cons: Lack of songs of power

    Owning a voice with power and distinctive timbre, Natasha Bedingfield easily steals the hearts of many listeners since the commercial song "Unwritten" to the most recent album "Pocketful of Sunshine". She may sound rough but that&...#39;s a beautiful roughness, no ear irritation, no ugly voice breaks, just wonderful high note belts. The way she deals with the songs, both technically and emotionally, is absolutely new, fresh and brilliant. Warm low register, powerful high register, and reasonable falsetto use, so what more could hold this girl back? She's definitely having her success and recognition from the music world. Talented as she might be, the problem with blandness in songwriting could be a problem. "Pocketful of sunshine" contains many hit-potential songs, though some still remain unsurprising. The catchy fun melody of "Put you arms around me" is a real sunshine from the album. The radio-friendly "Pocketful of sunshine" is doing great in the charts and stages. The newly released single "Angel" shows her great voice capability and pop style. "Love like this" with the touch of Sean Kingston has already received many nominations and awards. "Freckles" features her chord runs, which is pretty impressive. "Pirate Bones" and "Who Knows" and "Happy" and "Not Giving Up" sound strange and new, but don't make deep impression on me (however, the arrangements in "Pirate Bones" are worth a praise). "Not Givin' Up" is just ok, while "Backyard" is some kind of a failure to me. Overall, N.B has claimed her position in the music industry within a short period of time, and under no shadows of his brother, Daniel Bedingfield. Anyhow, she should notice that her voice suits best with mid-tempo and some up-tempo songs which have swift voice changes. Low-tempos and super-up-tempos are boring with her voice. Maybe she wants to "pump it up"; the album contains so many up-tempos, making it somehow imperfect (with her voice). Still, a nice album to listen to, go shopping and have your own copy of "Pocketful of Sunshine" :D Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Pocket Full Of Sunshine

  • All Music Guide

    Natasha Bedingfield's Unwritten was a better than average slice of Top 40 ear candy buoyed by a pair of genuinely great pop singles, the selfempowerment title track and the giddy "These Words," the most meta love song since Elton John's "Your Song." It seemed likely that the New Zealandborn, Londonbased singer/songwriter (the younger sister of dancepop star Daniel Bedingfield) would be even more successful with her second album, but fate and record company politicking intervened. In early 2007, Bedingfield released a prealbum single called "I Wanna Have Your Babies," a fizzy, synthy tune that continued on the same selfconscious path as "These Words": at heart, it was a song about how the most shocking thing a woman could say (either to her boyfriend or in a pop song) was that she wanted to procreate. Although it was just a lighthearted jab at the hypersexualized nature of popular culture in the age of Paris Hilton sex tapes and paparazzi photos of Britney Spears sans culottes, the song... was both generally misinterpreted and a complete commercial flop in the U.S. Bedingfield's second album, N.B., was released on schedule in the U.K. in May 2007, but Epic quietly scrubbed its American release. Later in the year, a new single, an agreeable but slightly faceless reggaetinged collaboration with rising RB star Sean Kingston called "Love Like This," made it into the Billboard Top 20 chart, and a slightly revised version of N.B. was announced for U.S. release, with the hit single and a new title track, "Pocketful of Sunshine," added to the album's lineup. The release was scrubbed yet again, and with each new release date, fewer songs from N.B. remained on the track listing, with the flop single "I Wanna Have Your Babies" among the first to go.
