Amazon.co.uk Review
If Natasha Bedingfield's first two singles, feisty R&B anthem "Single" and chart-topper "These Words", suggested she's more than just Daniel's little sister, her debut album, Unwritten, is the confirmation. Better still, it proves she's a genuine pop star in the making with a staggering tally of potential hits. Aided and abetted by some of music's biggest hit makers, including Robbie Williams's former writing partner Guy Chambers, she reveals the true size of her ambition and potential, squaring up to every female chart icon going. The party hard electro-rock of "I'm A Bomb", the irrepressible optimism of the title track's chorus and "Drop Me In The Middle"'s slinky R&B strut, respectively have her taking on Pink, Nelly Furtado and Beyoncé and showing that she's a worthy contender. Add the slamming Gwen Stefani attitude of "If You're Gonna" with its boybaiting hook of "I'm looking for a guard dog not buying a Chihuahua" and the image of an independent, smart talking bombshell who's no one's pushover is complete. And Unwritten is her flawless statement of intent. --Dan Gennoe

From the Label
22-year-old Natasha Bedingfield has a voice to melt radios and a decade long passion for writing and singing. Her debut album Unwritten draws on a range of experiences and passions personal to her – from battling through the dating game ("Frogs And Princes"), and dealing with the trust issues of falling in love ("I Bruise Easily") to learning how to carpe diem ("If You’re Gonna Jump") and develop the confidence to take life and own it ("Unwritten"). Told from the viewpoint of a young woman with her head firmly screwed on, Unwritten is fuelled by lyrical sass and real-life suss throughout. Musically the album is inspired by a wide range of influences and styles, from the glam rock of "Silent Movie" through the muscular funk of "Single" to the orchestral majesty of "Wild Horses". The result is an album packed with winning songs and no irrelevant fillers.

CD Description
Debut solo album from the Lewisham via New Zealand pop star. Previously making music with brother Daniel and sister Nikola, this album is a different style of pop to that of her already successful brother. It mixes up modern R&B with pop, soul and a hint of garage. The album includes the single 'Single'.

Customer Reviews

Music running through her veins
Inspired by the muse of music even before birth, this UK Pop performer has achieved the amazing, in hitting the UK #1 spot with her debut album. Include her brother Daniel, and they occupy a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the only brother and sister to have achieved UK #1 Solo albums.

An infectious pop album with strong R&B overtones and a little funk and dance thrown in for good measure, it's one of those rare ones with no bad songs, propelling it to triple platinum status in the UK.

First single "Single" speaks out about women not needing to feel "incomplete" if they don't happen to be in a relationship, and urges them to maintain their independence.

Verse 1:-
I'm not waitin' around for a man to save me
(Cos I'm happy where I am)
Don't depend on a guy to validate me
(No no)
I don't need to be anyone's baby
(Is that so hard to understand?)
No I don't need another half to make me whole

The second single "These Words" tells humorously of the process of writing a song and the difficulties in concentrating, focusing and looking for inspiration. In the end, all she comes up with is the hook: "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you".

Other picks are "I'm a Bomb" (a dance track); "Unwritten"; "I Bruise Easily" (a soulful ballad); the funky "Frogs and Princes"; "Wild Horses" (I like this one); and "Drop Me in the Middle".

Definitely worth a listen, and then another.

If your gonna buy somethin, let it be this!
If by now you think you have figured out natashas style of music, judging on her first 3 singles, "single" "these words" and "unwritten" then you are very wrong. These are three fantastic songs but something that is truly outstanding is that there are far better songs on this album. Starting off with the number 1 smash "these words" you get an r&b type ballad which is very impressive and really shows off her vocal talents. Moving swiftly on we move to the debut "single" which is equally outstanding r&b music which is very orginal and cool.
We then leave that style and move onto a more techno-rock beat with the 3rd track "Im a bomb". Although not as vocally impressive it does give us an insight to a very different side of miss.bedingfield and it is a very enjoyable song. Almost as instantly as we got to this style we leave it and go to the stunning tital track "unwritten". Showing us that Natasha has got a wide range in vocal talents and appreciation for different types of music, and this is only 4 tracks into the album. All the songs are very original and stand out. Especially track 6 "If your gonna..." which is a very rocky side to Natasha and really lets us know what we would get if we were on the wrong side of her. It is a very impressive track and one of my favourites...however i think the ultimate track on this stunning debut album is track 11 "Wild Horses". This is an amazing power ballad driven almost entirely from a piano and natashas voice. This track could possibly be the one that will throw her into superstardom as she has just proved that she is an individual and should not be described as the other musical bedingfield. Natasha has proved to herself and everyone that she possibly has a bigger place in the music industry than most other current artists at the moment. It is real music and i think just as she has appreciated different styles, we should all appreciate her style(s).
This incredible album is finshed perfectly with "Piece of me". It starts off with a slightly r&b style but as we get closer to the chorus it is clear this is actually more of a rock-ballad and its a very striking song and yet again shows another side to Natasha and she is someone who will not be knocked off the charts easily! simply, you should buy this album whatever your current thoughts are because there is clear talent here and a wide range of styles that are made outstandingly by one of the best artists of the year.

Natasha Bedingfield "Unwritten"
I'm a very big fan of Natasha Bedingfield and I couldn't wait for "Unwritten" to get it's official release, after hearing the six track album sampler I knew I was gonna love this album and I absolutely adore it, so much it's untrue. The album opens with the #1 hit "These Words" followed by the anthem "Single" both which you will know by know. "I'm A Bomb" is more of a rockier track than everything else on the album, well, it's similar to "If You're Gonna..." which is got lyrics that you will love!. "Unwritten" (the next single) comes next and I love this track, the song has got really good lyrics and a nice melody, the gospel choir fit nicely towards the end of the song. "I Bruise Easily" and "Wild Horses" are the two ballads of the album and are both amazing and single worthy, "Wild Horses" is very sad in my opinion. "Silent Movie" (which I'm listening to right now) is a great track that would also be a good single, infact, all the tracks on this album would be good singles. The only thing left to say is buy the album 'cause you will absolutely love it!.

P.S. There's a hidden bonus track titled "Perfect Day" too.
