FORMAT: CD
ARTIST: Natasha Bedingfield
TITLE: NB
01. First, I have to say that I absolutely love the album art on this album. It reminds me of Chuck Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters, and also of the fifties for some weird reason.
02. "How Do You Do" is a good way to kick off the album; it's about girls pursuing guys for once, and while Bedingfield's voice is not and never has been very pleasing, the song is good enough and it's entertaining.
03. One song that could have been left off the album is definitely "I Wanna Have Your Babies." It's just plain weird, especially when she starts chanting "babies" over and over again.
04. "Pirate Bones" has, by far, the best lyrics of this CD. I just looked them up, and whoever copied and pasted them onto every single lyrics site online mangled them a bit, but compared to the fluffiness of the rest of the album (and the horrible, horrible "I Wanna Have Your Babies" song), this track was a small piece of genius.
05. What is the point of interludes such as "I Think They're Thinking"? I've never understood why artists feel the need to put them in.
06. "(No More) What Ifs" has a surprising duet with Eve (the same one who did a duet with Gwen Stefani in "Let Me Blow Ya Mind"). What exactly happened to Eve?
07. I like the chorus of "Not Givin' Up." Again, it's somewhat ruined by her strained vocals, but it's upbeat and outspoken.
08. The ballad "Still Here" is completely ruined by her voice. I'm sorry, but she tends to ruin almost every single song she sings. (Woah, major alliteration.) Her voice keeps cracking, it sounds like she hasn't had any lessons whatsoever, and she doesn't have much range.
09. Overall, there were a few good songs on this album, but I just can't get over her voice (it's only marginally better than Ashlee Simpson's). It's not completely horrible, and I'm sure there are lots of people who will like this album--yet as for me, I'd prefer someone more talented at singing.
