Natasha Bedingfield
Natasha Bedingfield is straight out of the U.K. school of "pop" pop star:
antipodean, Anglophile and almost annoyingly attractive. Lay that
alongside the fact that her career took off after brother Daniel's "Gotta
Get Thru This" had twitched and pleaded its way to legendary status in the
U.K.'s burgeoning 2-step scene (not to mention the top of the charts), and
it's easy to see how the London-bred New Zealander struggled to be taken
seriously at the outset, despite her debut release "Single" making it to
No. 3 in the U.K. in May 2004. But then "These Words" hit the airwaves and
any residual doubts about Natasha's staying power evaporated as she
stormed to the top of the British charts. Her debut album Unwritten
embraces a diverse number of genres and is held together by Bedingfield's
evident interest in pop songwriting (and much vaunted studies of
psychology), but where her career develops from this point is anyone's
guess -- after her brother's near-fatal car crash in New Zealand in 2004,
she can be forgiven for taking some time to reflect.
