Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten :wub:

 

 

'One of the success stories of 2004, Natasha Bedingfield has proved herself to be one of the most exciting young pop talents in Britain. No doubt helped by being the lil' sis of Daniel, she has now managed to distance her talent from his to become a truly individual artist. Likened, not unfairly, to Nelly Furtado, she has become synonymous with quirky, genre-warping tunes that consistently succeed in giving maximum pleasure.

 

Natasha’s third single ‘Unwritten’ (taken from the album of the same name) is a gorgeous near-ballad with a funky beat, gospel flourishes and a sublime vocal that reaches for the heavens in its quest for perfection and, pretty much, reaches them. A true star, Natasha Bedingfield is fast becoming one of Britain’s finest young songwriters.' - HMV

 

Still US Top10

:wub: I love her music, she is recording a new album, she will be back with a new single in the autumn, can't wait.

 

Unwritten is an outstanding album, and one of the best albums of 2004, and if anyone has not got her album by now, must be off their rocker, go out and buy it. Its fecking awesome. :D

I agree, her debut album is an album any artist would be proud to have released. The singles weren't among the very best on the album IMO, but this is by far and away her best single. :wub:

It was a great album, followed in Daniels footsteps, let's hope she doesn't turn c**p like him. -_-

This song is fab, but 'these words' is just 100xfab :wub:

I LOVE Unwritten, its a little gem :) So good to see it doing well in the US :)

It's weird that These Words was outperformed by Unwritten. :unsure:

Here's the other version:

Thanks Consie

 

I've now added the superior US Video & single remix of Unwritten to the first post as an embedded video. :cheer:

 

The US remix of Unwritten was a vast improvement on the version released in the UK & had this mix been released in the UK then Natasha could have ended up having back to back UK #1 Hit singles (IMHO).

 

How much did her album actually sell? :unsure:

900,000 copies Kelly... and I think Unwritten was the best single released, but I maintain that Wild Horses was the best song overall

Is that in the UK?

yes, adn in the US it just passed 500,000 this week

Shame she didn't hit the million. :(

She might when her second album comes out, as long as it trickle sells.

But WHEN are we going to get a new album? <_<

is the us going to get single as the 3rd single? it is the best song off the album!

No they're getting The One That Got Away I think. ;)

Preferring the US Video, good idea to remake it, given it's massive success.

Single is the 3rd track to be released in the US, its been sent out to radio. The One That Got Away (amazing song) is climbing the dance charts and is penned for the 4th single, and possibly Wild Horses as the finisher.

 

Shes recording the new album while promoting single in the US. This was confirmed in an email that can be seen on CC
