Natasha Likes It

Natasha Bedingfield, 27, the UK singer who has sold over ten million records, is currently back in New Zealand — the birthplace of her parents — finding inspiration for her next album, which she is working on with producer Brian Kennedy who created Disturbia for Rihanna. Bedingfield spent 2008 on tour promoting her latest album, Pocketful of Sunshine. With three Top 10 Billboard chart singles from that record, Bedingfield says the thrill starts before the record is even released. “When you are in the studio and you are writing songs … You might like something, but do other people like it? It is the best compliment when other people hear something you wrote, and they take it as a personal song. When someone comes up to me and goes, ‘This is our song, or my song’, that is very special.” Bedingfield’s brother singer/songwriter Daniel, is also working on an album this year.
