Customer Reviews

Great album from Ms Bedingfield.
This is natasha's second studio album. Great tunes such as 'Soulmate' (arguably the best song on the album) pepper this great album. Ms Bedingfield has done it again.

You Want It Too!
Natasha's second album "N.B." continues almost the same line as her first album "Unwritten". The style is still something between R & B and pop music. The lyrics are much self-confident than in "Unwritten", "Pirate Bones" and "I Wanna Have Your Babies" are good examples. Natasha's voice is still the same but some songs bring out more of it: for example "When You Know You Know" made me think Mariah Carey's earlier stuff. The beautiful ballad "Still Here", a rhythmful "(No More) What Ifs" (featuring Eve), and "Say It Again" are just perfect to make this album more interesting and diverse. The interlude "I Think They're Thinking" is also quite good. Still, the album would have need more "hits"...Natasha has a great, original voice, and she should sing more challenging songs. Good album but not a classic.

Grower
It does take a few listens to get the full impact of this album.

1)How Do You Do- It's not so much a song but an introduction to the album.

2)Wanna have your babies- Very catchy song, to get the song you need to listen to the lyrics. You'll have this song in your head for days!

3)Soulmate- It's a beautiful song, but it shouldn't have been chosen as the second single. Very nice to listen to and is sung with passion.

4)Who Knows- Definately catchy and a good contender for third single! A bit slow to start but once you hit the run up to the chorus, it's a very good solid song.

5)Say it again- Probably the worst song on the album, however it's a decent "album filler". It is sung with passion and honesty which gives it a bonus.

6)Pirate Bones- A completely new style of song. Never heard anything like it before, it is refreshing and unique but it does take too long to get into the song. The chorus gets stuck in your head! Overall a good song.

7)Backyard-Americanized! Unfortunately America has been too much of an influence on this BRITISH artist. The song is similar to one of the songs on her first album (see if u can work it out). However, looking past the American influences you can see that this song was written carefully and is a favourite of Natasha.

8)Tricky Angel- A bit to rushed and hard to listen to. All over the place. The last section of the song is a lot better than the first

9)When You Know You Know- A VERY good song. Has a Joss Stone edge to it (better Vocals than Joss!). Slow, Jazzy and Uplifting. A great listen

10 AND 11) Interlude/ No More What If's- A highly produced song featuring artist and rapper Eve. Not a great song, more of a "skip" song. Just a bit boring

12)Still Here- This song is deeply moving. Think Wild Horses (Unwritten) without the uncomfortable shouting. Sylvester Stylone asked Natasha to write this (she part wrote it). Listening to this song on a loud volume gives it the full impact. And is very moving. Beautiful ballad with Piano, what more could you want.

13) Smell the Roses- Also similiar to another song from her first Album. A great song in all. very catchy.

HIDDEN SONGS. NOT ONE BUT TWO!!!

7 minutes 21 seconds- This song should have been part of the Main song list not hidden. It shows a lot of emotion in her voice and is thought provoking.

14 minutes 40 seconds- A beautiful slow melodic song sung with thought and meaning, Sung in a different way to the rest of the album, her voice has no effect on it and has not been altered in anyway. It is honest and sung closely to the microphone. a beautiful song.

Overall this album is a very good one. Not as good as "Unwritten" but a lot more mature and meaningful than it.

Let's hope her third studio albums takes aspects from Unwritten and this one.
