Editorial Review:

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 Gorce

Love it!:

I love this CD! Upbeat, positive, all around "feel-good" dance music. Lots of great tunes...my favs being Pocketful of Sunshine and Freckles.

another great album:

What I really like about Natasha Bedingfield's music is that it has such a great variety. Half sounds like music I listen to all the time and the other half doesn't, but she writes it so well, I don't bother to skip. It's a great 2nd album to put on and listen all the way through.

Move over mariah, Natasha has you beat.:

Aren't you tired of the same ol, same ol? Natasha is awesome! The production is tight. I can listen to the whole CD without skipping one track. This is a must buy.

You go girl!:

This album is awesome! I love to listen to her songs! Of course the title track, "Put Your Arms Around Me", "Happy", and "Freckles" are my faves. If you're looking for carefree, feel good music, this is a must have.
