When a man called Daniel Bedingfield first broke onto the music scene with an excellent dance track called "Gotta Get Thru this", everyone sat up and payed attention to this man who had an excellent voice,wrote this own songs and got into the industry on his own. 2 years later,he is still doing just that.
When he bought out his album initially, I didnt buy it,I always wanted to but wasn't sure if I would like it. I loved the singles, "Gotta Get Thru This,James Dean,If you're not the one,I cant read you and Never gonna leave your side" but, I wasnt sure if they'd be the only good tracks.
I bought the special edition copy as it had "Never gonna leave your side" on it unlike the first copy. And then later on he released "Friday" as the last single taken from the album. He is writing his next album as we speak whilst recovering from a car accident.
If you loved all the SIX singles then the album will be a welcome cd to your collection. The first song, "Blown it again" has some of the best lyrics and music, the piano on it is fantastic. "He dont love you like I love you" is a more mellow song on the album but still just as catchy and memorable as the others. "Girlfriend starts off with just his voice and a guitar and then breaks out into a brilliant summery tune that is really uplifting. "Inflate my ego" uses a sample from The Art of Noise's hit Peter Gun. Its not one of my favourites as Daniel's voice doesnt appear enough on this song.
The acoustic versions of 3 of his hit singles prove that Daniel does have a great voice but,to be honest, I skip them as I already know he has a great voice from seeing him perform live on tv.
MY stand out track would be "If you're not the one". That song will be played in centuries to come, as the lyrics,his voice,the music and the whole feel of the track is so moving.
Daniel only writes what he knows, unlike many other UK artists. That is what makes him so different and distinctive. He doesnt have just one genre of music, his voice suits any style and if you like variety then this is the album for you!
It is available from all good music shops and will cost between £9.77 and £13.99 depending on where you go. I bought my copy from Tesco for £9.97.
