NB is the 2nd album from Natasha Bedingfield. For anyone who is not familiar with Natasha, she is the younger sister of Daniel Bedingfield. Natasha rose to fame in 2004 with her debut album 'Unwritten' which proved to be very popular not only the UK but also in America.
It has been a while since she released anything in the UK, but now she is back with a super follow up album!
How Do You Do? - The album kicks off to a good start ... ...a good beat to it
I Wanna Have Your Babies - This was the 1st single to be taken from the album - the lyrics are really funny 'Mm mm mm mm mm, gotta beep out what I really wanna shout, whoops did I say it out loud? Did you find out? I wanna have your babies!' Its such a catchy song and you will be singing it after a few plays. The accompanying video is a worth a watch, it's very funny!

It has been a while since she released anything in the UK, but now she is back with a super follow up album!
How Do You Do? - The album kicks off to a good start with a song that has a really infectious chorus and a good beat to it
I Wanna Have Your Babies - This was the 1st single to be taken from the album - the lyrics are really funny 'Mm mm mm mm mm, gotta beep out what I really wanna shout, whoops did I say it out loud? Did you find out? I wanna have your babies!' Its such a catchy song and you will be singing it after a few plays. The accompanying video is a worth a watch, it's very funny!
Soulmate - This has been confirmed as the 2nd single, I can definitely see why. It's a strong ballad that shows off Natasha's vocals. It's also a song that a lot of people can relate to, 'Who doesn't long for someone to hold, who knows how to love you without being told, somebody tell me why I'm on my own...if theres a soulmate for everyone'
Who Knows - This is a really catchy song and definitely one of my favourites on the album, it's quite upbeat...a really good tune!
Say It Again - This is also another of my favourites, and I think it would make a really good single as it's very commercial
Pirate Bones - Firstly I loved the title of this track so was looking forward to hearing what it was like. I think this song is probably a grower, it has a funky beat to it and is worth a listen
Backyard - This is a great pop song and one of my favourites. The song is about how things were so much easier as a child and how things were so much more fun, 'Your lasso, my tiara, my wand, your plastic bazooka, why can't we be how we were, in the backyard?'
Tricky Angel - This is probably one of my least favourites on the album, it doesn't really stand out for me
When You Know You Know - Another fab song, this is quite a soulful tune and is very catchy!
I Think They're Thinking (Interlude) - This is just an interlude inbetween songs, it's a bit boring and I don't really see the point of it!
(No More) What Ifs - Featuring Eve - I think this is my favourite song on the album, when I heard that there was going to be rapping in it, I didn't think I would like it...but it's an amazing song and I really hope it will be a single. The song is about how worrying about things can spoil the moment and cause stress and how you should stop thinking 'What If?' There is a short rap from Eve which just adds to the overall effect of the song - I actually don't mind the rap.
Not Givin' Up - This song is quite rocky, it's fairly catchy but it's not one of my favourites on the album
Still Here - This is a lovely ballad and again it really gives Natasha a chance to show off her vocal skills, I really like the lyrics to this song too 'You looked at me and saw what I never could see, you made me be more than I thought I could ever be'
Smell The Roses - This is quite a good song and I like the chorus, it's not particularly strong but it's a nice tune
If you keep listening after this song, there are two hidden tracks called 'Lay Down' and 'Loved By You', they're both worth a listen!
Although this is not overly important, I have to admit that I really don't like the front cover to this album!! However the inside artwork is really nice and contains all lyrics to the songs.
I highly recommend this album, it has some fab songs...I wouldn't say there is a bad track on it really! If you like a decent pop album then you should definitely buy this!
Advantages: Great, relaxing cd to listen to Disadvantages: Some songs seem to be slightly repetitive
...and hip-hop to almost classical. NB is a lovely cd to put on when you are relaxing or just as backround music. The cd is a generally a good value for your money, depending on where you buy it from. A great follow up from her other hit cd- "unwritten", i personally think that this cd is amazing too. I hope you will enjoy this cd as much as i did!

1. How Do You Do

Advantages: More varied songs than her last album Disadvantages: Only releases an album ever few years by the look of things
I love this album,its definately catchy,poptastic and just fun and enjoyable to listen to from start to finish. From more catchy upbeat tracks like I wanna have your babies, to the more laid back and melodic track soulful,this album has it all.
It takes you through a wide variety of emotions and feelings which for me really makes an album even better to listen to.
This album was release in 2007 and I feel it was a good follow up to her debut album ... ...shows a more mature and progressive side to Natasha Bedingfield,it shows more of her talent as a singer and performer,even though some if not all of the tracks sound a bit manufacture they are still easy and enjoyable to listen to.
In my opinion Bedingfield is definately underrated and an undervalued artist/singer.
The track Listing for the version of the album I have got is:
1. How Do You Do?
2. I Wanna Have Your Babies
3. Soulmate
4. Who ...

I first saw this CD advertised on TV and since I have her previous CD "Unwritten" I thought I would give it a go. I had already heard some of the songs and youtube and was very impressed. My favourite song would have to be Soulmate as the lyrics are very deep and meaningful. Some of the other good songs are Smell the roses, Backyard, Pirate bones and Say it again. A few of the songs have quite an unusual beat but thats what makes them interesting! ...

This is really uplifting, it is brilliant to put on while driving.
Natasha has a beautiful and emotive voice. I feel this album shows how truly talented she is. Released in 2007 under sony bmg music entertainment, this cd has some great tracks: personal favourites are soulmate and say it again.
The photography on the case is eye catching and for anyone out there who thinks this lady is hot stuff there are some interesting images and graphics enclosed, ...

Album Notes
In 2008 popster Natasha Bedingfield dropped a finely constructed, hook-filled effort in POCKETFUL OF SUNSHINE. Rootsy and groove-oriented, but with plenty of contemporary R&B studio polish (a combo especially evident on the reggae-inflected standout "Love Like This," featuring Sean Kingston), POCKETFUL manages to be both laid-back and glamorous at once. Bedingfield is equally adept at breezy, catchy dance-pop (the title track) as she is at heart-tugging love ballads ("Soulmate"). Sharp productions, head-nodding beats, singalong choruses, and Bedingfield's smooth, appealing vocals make POCKETFUL go down easy, and will keep fans coming back to these tracks again and again.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.80) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[With] some sad-eyed ballads and solid R&B -- 'Piece of Your Heart' is a dark, brassy thing..." Blender (Magazine) (pp.96-97) - 3.5 out of 5 stars -- "[With] uniformly strong pop and R&B songcraft -- highlighted by the Sean Kingston collaboration 'Love Like This'..."
