In the United Kingdom, New Zealand-born Natasha Bedingfield and brother Daniel Bedingfield have seemingly taken up permanent residence at the top of the pop charts. He's an earnest rocker with a dance music bent. She's an altogether more exciting prospect--a singer-songwriter who refuses to sit still, charging through decadent R&B ("Single"), jittery electro-pop ("I'm A Bomb") and first-class balladry ("I Bruise Easily"), invoking the likes of Beyonce and Gwen Stefani. And, okay, sometimes Nelly Furtado. An all-star production team, including former Robbie Williams collaborator Guy Chambers, makes for a debut that sounds like an instant greatest-hits set--just add cheekbones. --Aidin Vaziri

 Wild Horses... September 14, 2009
RespectLife (USA)
Wild Horses is the standout track on this album. It's wistful, self-reflective, wanting, regretful, scared. Beautiful melody and sung with great emotion. Excellent!

Natasha has a gift for making catchy tunes but she also takes herself just a little too seriously. At times, this works. The title song is brilliant without being overreaching, and is the shining star on what is a solid album.
At the same time, sometimes her lyrics are embarassingly trite, and her mispronunciation of "hyperbole" makes one wonder how this could possibly have made it to production without someone saying "umm, Natasha..." And she spends too much time writing about the writing process; it's a little self-absorbed.
But when we stop looking that closely, it's undeniable that the music is infectious and energizing, and the production is rich and flawless. You can groan about liking it, but you will like it. It's fun. If that's not what you're looking for this isn't the album for you.
 fine album by a very special artist April 22, 2009

This album by Natasha Bedingfield clearly shows that she's got lots and lots of talent; she sings and writes with sensitivity, emotion and electricity. This album, entitled Unwritten, absolutely shines bright; and we are all better off for Natasha sharing her gift with us. The quality of the sound on this CD is excellent; and the artwork is very nicely done. The liner notes have the lyrics to the songs and we get the song credits, too.
The album begins with "These Words;" this song has excellent musical effects and a great beat. The first words may be "threw some chords together," but Natasha certainly accomplished so much more than that here! Natasha sings this with all her might, heart and soul; I love it! Natasha sings of her love for her man; and that's grand. Don't be surprised if you get up and spontaneously start dancing practically wherever you are! "Single" starts with some mighty dark sounding chords as Natasha sings of a woman who can feel good about herself even if she doesn't have a man in her life; I'm very impressed with this tune.
We then get the title track, "Unwritten." This song is nothing short of a masterpiece. "Unwritten" has Natasha Bedingfield in her natural element; the music is very pretty and Natasha sings this so well it truly takes flight! The organ works wonders for the musical arrangement and "Unwritten" has a great beat--it's very memorable. In addition, "Silent Movie" is quite a pensive ballad that Natasha aces as effortlessly as if it were mere breathing; but of course we know it really wasn't all that easy to produce "Silent Movie." Natasha's talents carry her through; and that lush musical arrangement complements her vocals to perfection and beyond! I really like "Silent Movie;" and "I Bruise Easily" again keeps Natasha squarely in the spotlight. Natasha sings of a very sensitive woman who can get hurt when a relationship hits rough waters; and there's many a person who can identify with these lyrics.
"Drop Me In The Middle" has Estelle doing more than just her best on this track with Natasha Bedingfield; the chorus is very beautiful and "Drop Me In The Middle" also sports a great beat. "Peace Of Me" begins with a brief but very beautiful piano solo; and when Natasha comes in this number takes off! Natasha sings of a woman who's so much happier when she finds a loving man to make her more complete; and her excellent diction enhances her performance all the more. The music is lush and very pretty on "Peace Of Me," too.
"Stumble" has Natasha handling this ballad with the grace of a highly seasoned singer; and it's definitely a highlight of this album. "Size Matters" has Natasha performing something more like a dance tune; she handles complex key and tempo changes like the pro she truly is! "Size Matters" is perfect for dancing. The CD ends with Natasha Bedingfield performing "Wild Horses." "Wild Horses" has a fine piano arrangement and again Natasha handles complex tempo changes brilliantly. Natasha sings of a woman who wishes she could cast aside her inhibitions and live life more fully; many people can relate to the lyrics to this song. In addition, if you wait roughly three minutes after the end of "Wild Horses," you get a hidden bonus track entitled "Sojourn." Natasha sings this with panache and the guitar arrangement is very well done.
Natasha Bedingfield scores a huge goal with this album; and this will leave you wanting more. I highly recommend this for fans of Natasha Bedingfield; and people who want to "discover" a great talent would do well to start with this CD.

Natasha definately has destinctive vocals and makes an impressive debut. I did not hear this offering before hearing her latest entitled Pocketful Of Sunshinez(2008) which is a solid improvement(5 stars). But when you are working from a four star rating(Unwritten) you don't have that much to improve; she proves this with her first two releases. Unwritten is a very thoughtproking song. I especially like her writing ability; althought, they are generally written collaborably, the songs sound like something she would say and that makes listening to her more believable.
