Description

A soulful and poppy sensation from the U.K., Natasha Bedingfield outdid her older brother Daniel's pop success when her debut album went triple platinum in her homeland, and her single "These Words" became a huge charter in the U.S. Born into a musical family of New Zealand missionaries, Natasha sings with confessional spirit and heartfelt intelligence, and her image is more church-going girl-next-door than a sexy get-low pop-tart.
