In the tradition of British female singer-songwriters Annie Lennox and Dido, Natasha Bedingfield brings lyrical honesty and vocal clarity to her music: not surprisingly, record buyers throughout Europe and beyond have responded to those qualities in droves. Album Unwritten -- which Natasha described as 'anthemic, quirky mixture of pop and soul' -- achieved triple platinum status in the UK, has gone double platinum in Ireland and gold in Singapore and South Africa while the infectious single 'These Words' has been a major hit in almost a dozen countries from Australia to New Zealand (her parents' native land). Natasha is also nominated for four coveted BRIT awards this year in the categories of British Female Solo Artist, British Breakthrough Artist, Best single and Best Pop Act.

Natasha -- younger sister of UK pop star Daniel Bedingfield (who achieved US success in 2002 with the hit 'Gotta Get Through This' and 'If You're Not the One') -- takes the response in her stride: 'I'm blown away by how well my first record has done. I think there's an honesty in what I'm writing and singing about. I'd like to think that this is what the audiences relate to.' With production by Patrick Leonard (Madonna), Guy Chambers (Robbie Williams) and the team of Steve Kipner, Andrew Frampton and Wayne Wilkins, UNWRITTEN is an edgy, hip fusion of upbeat grooves, rhythmic pop with some heartfelt ballads thrown into the mix.
