SINGLE - NATASHA BEDINGFIELD
Hot on the heels of top 10 “These Words” and top five “Unwritten,” breakthrough U.K. singer/songwriter Natasha Bedingfield proves she’s got the goods to go three for three. “Single” again dresses up a straightforward melodic pop frame with soulful production and enough hip-hop-leaning gizmos to fit at top 40 radio somewhere between Alicia Keys and Kelly Clarkson. With pop airwaves opening up to sing-along music with mass appeal via James Blunt, Daniel Powter and Bedingfield, “Single” is an obvious contender to further catapult Nat’s rising star.–Billboard
