Natasha Bedingfield will be back in 2007 with a brand new album!
· The 1st Single will be Babies and the chorus goes "I want to have your babies". Natasha says it is about, as a woman, meeting men on dates and subsconsciously auditioning them as the potential father of your child.
·The big ballad on the album is called Soulmate and it asks the question "why am I on my own if there's a soulmate for everyone?". It was written on a bed
· A song called Say It Again was written with Adam from Maroon 5. It sounds a bit like Maroon 5 with Natasha Bedingfield singing on the top
·The 1st Single will be out next March, along with some live dates and the usual promotional events.
Oooh, I'm thinking that 2007 will be a big year for the Bedingfield family. As said here, Natasha's new album is due out and I believe that album's from Daniel and Nikola are also on the cards. Daniel is doing a new live show at the end of this month in London, and Nikola has started releasing some songs on iTunes. I may go to Daniel's show and if so, I'll be Bedingfield spotting!!!
1. The first single is called 'Babies' and the chorus goes "I want to have your babies". Natasha says it is about, as a woman, meeting men on dates and subsconsciously auditioning them as the potential father of your child. We can't imagine readers of Zoo Magazine being very impressed with this.
2. 'Pirate Bones' is about going 'all out' to get a thing only to find that you can't use it, or something. Beddo said it would be like being a pirate stuck on a desert island with lots of gold but no shops to spend it in. If she thinks that's bad she should try coming to our office - it's a twenty minute walk to the nearest Waitrose.
3. The big (and it is very big) ballad on the album is called 'Soulmate' and it asks the question "why am I on my own if there's a soulmate for everyone?". It was written on a bed. It rhymes "incompatible" with "it don't matter though". It also includes the word 'transitory', surely this album's equivalent of 'hyperbole'. It is a bit like a big Christina ballad except a) better and b) delivered with a vocal that isn't all "LISTEN TO ME I HAVE GOT A BIG VOICE".
4. Another song called 'How Do You Do?' is about whether it is alright for women to make the first move in a relationship (ie go up to a chap and say "How do you do?"). "Is it wrong to be the instigator?" asks the chorus, before answering "NO!". This is all good news - at this rate, it won't be long before women will be able to vote!!! This song includes the thought-provoking lyric "you're not climbing up my ivory tower".
5. A song called 'Say It Again' was written with Adam from Maroon 5. It sounds a bit like Maroon 5 with Natasha Bedingfield singing on the top. Natasha did a little dance when this one came on.
6. Another one called 'Backyard' is about things being a lot easier at an age when playing in one's backyard was The Done Thing, and includes a reference to a "plastic bazooka"; 'Roses' was written before 'These Words' (but is still quite good); 'When You Know You Know' is a little bit Diana Ross.
Besides that I can't wait. I enjoyed Unwritten.
