VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
This third studio album from Natasha Bedingfield is currently exclusive to North America where she has gone all out in order to truly crack that prestigious market, recruiting the production efforts of Ryan Tedder (of One Republic fame and cowriter of the massive Leona Lewis hit 'Bleeding Love), John Hill (Shakira, Shantigold) Kleerup (Robyn, Cyndi Lauper), Wayne Wilkins (Beyonce, Jordin Sparks), John Shanks (Michelle Branch, Sheryl Crow) and Steve Kipner (who worked with her on 'These Words') amongst others.
Most reviews about this album tend to agree on one thing: that Bedingfield largely plays it safe. This does has a lot of truth. If you own any of Bedingfield's other recordings this album is crammed full of the same kind of infectious, uplifting, solid pop music. Through the ballads and the more upbeat songs, from the outset there is a running theme of complete positivity, warmth, optimism and empowerment. On occasion, she briefly dips her toes into the dance genre but I think she is a lot more likeable in the pop we expect her deliver.
I wouldn't go as far to say that this is better than her previous offerings but it is as just as good as the preceding 'Pocketful of Sunshine' release.
This album sucks you in from the first track 'Little Too Much' and there is plenty more to like. A solid choice for the mature pop fan!

I just can't stop loving this woman in every albums she develops herself and her music. Strip Me is one of the best pop albums you can hear. There's no one bad or average song in this album. Songs are emotionally written and they get better with Natasha's perfect voice. Break Thru, Weightless and All I Need are the highlights of this album. I hope she keeps getting better and doesn't do cheesy songs. 5 out of 5.

I speak as a big fan of Natasha's previous works, 'Unwritten', 'N.B.' and the North American-only release 'Pocketful of Sunshine'. On this latest offering, Ms. Bedingfield thankfully stayed true to her original sound, stuck with her roots and maintained her genuity, whilst also evolving and maturing without taking any of that original sincerity she has always possessed, away. I'm so happy that she didn't move on to a sound and feeling untrue to her i.e. the current trent of electro-pop that everybody seems to be doing these past couple of years, which although I'm not particularly against, just isn't my preferred genre of music. Natasha herself says of the meaning behind the album; "It's about being human. We all look different, but when you strip it all away, we all have similar emotions. The ups and the downs, the joys, the sorrows, and the power. The uniqueness. The magic. Nothing can take away the beauty and the power of who we are, and the power of our voices." And with that said, I'm about to head on over to Amazon.COM, to order my copy for $9, since while I really do feel the album is worth it and more, I won't be shelling out £21 on here just because it's an import, until the official UK release! If you're a fan of sincere singer/songwriter type music, that doesn't stray too far from the grain but also manages to avoid being bland, and is filled with messages of hope and love, then this is the album for you. Definitely my favourite album of 2010!
