Free Music Notes for Pocketful of Sunshine
Free Music Review: This half panders to a US audience, the rest is the much better N.B.
Hit: 2 Stars
This is probably the best example I've seen lately of the record companies feeling that they know better than the artist, and they're so wrong. Last year, Bedingfield release the album N.B. in the UK and elsewhere, and you had to get the import if you wanted it. As with Unwritten, the album was quirky but great pop music that stood out from cloned crap all over US radio. You might need to shell out a couple of extra bucks for that CD, but it's worth it.
Six of the tracks on this album are from N.B., and the rest are over-produced songs that are made to sound like things you've already heard. The songs missing, like "I Wanna Have Your Babies" and "How Do You Do?" are so much more reflective of the style and substance that she's capable of. I guess some jerk in New York thinks otherwise.
Pop music hasn't been good in years, and it saddens me that someone comes along to make it interesting, only to be short circuited by the record companies. This album is half of what it could be.
Pocketful of Sunshine Poster
On Pocketful of Sunshine, Natasha Bedingfield sounds like Joss Stone only bouncier. Nothing wrong with that. In fact, the brightness and buoyancy of this record will keep it spinning long after CDs that shoot for hipster credibility--with funked-up bells and fancy production whistles--have been deposited back into their jewel cases for all eternity. Check it out: "Love Like This," with Sean Kingston, puts its hands in the air for puppy love--the kind that'll bring you back to your "middle school kiss"--and a couple of other songs follow the youth-themed suit. "Backyard" time-travels to an idyllic childhood, while "Freckles" fleshes out, for the benefit of the insecure, the beauty in imperfections. Elsewhere, Bedingfield is her indomitably upbeat self. Opener "Put Your Arms Around Me" reeks of reassurance and tenderness. "Happy" implores would-be gloom-and-doomers to snap out of it, and while the title track doesn't wander all that far lyrically, it benefits from a chanted verse brimmed in (positive) attitude. The vibe, overall, is beach-blanket warm and blue-sky ready. Sunshine earns a pocketful, if not more, of pop-music props. --Tammy La GorcePop Music CDs
