Following in the footsteps of her elder brother, Natasha Bedingfield released her debut album “Unwritten” in 2006 with her R&B infused pop, going straight into the charts at number one. Running throughout the album are themes relating to female empowerment in tracks like “Single and “These Words”. Known for her gravelly, grainy and soulful vocals, its strength and beauty is laid down in the vulnerability of “I Bruise Easily” which eloquently showcases her incredible range. Her follow up self-titled album released in 2007 was less pop and more R&B while incorporating aspects of reggae featuring songs such as “I Wanna Have Your Babies” and “Soulmate” a definite departure from the themes explored in her debut album. This album allowed her the opportunity to support Justin Timberlake on his FutureSex/LoveShow tour which then saw her gain great success in North America.
With catchy songs advocating female empowerment, it’s no surprise that these tracks particularly “Single” act as an anthem for ladies everywhere evoking the biggest sing-a-long, with fists pumping in the air. As Bedingfield progressing through her repertoire, performing “A.N.G.E.L” and “Soulmate” acoustically softens the tone as her impeccable voice shines in all its glory. There’s plenty of movement in the crowd with the dancier songs like “All I Need” and “Neon Lights” with the emphatic drum beats resonating through the room. Natasha Bedingfield is a pure delight to watch as she owns the stage with presence and her incredible soulful vocals which melts your heart leaving your with the warm fuzzy feeling inside.
