On Pocketful of Sunshine, Natasha Bedingfield sounds like Joss Stone only bouncier. Nothing wrong with that. In fact, the brightness and buoyancy of this record will keep it spinning long after CDs that shoot for hipster credibility--with funked-up bells and fancy production whistles--have been deposited back into their jewel cases for all eternity. Check it out: "Love Like This," with Sean Kingston, puts its hands in the air for puppy love--the kind that'll bring you back to your "middle school kiss"--and a couple of other songs follow the youth-themed suit. "Backyard" time-travels to an idyllic childhood, while "Freckles" fleshes out, for the benefit of the insecure, the beauty in imperfections. Elsewhere, Bedingfield is her indomitably upbeat self. Opener "Put Your Arms Around Me" reeks of reassurance and tenderness. "Happy" implores would-be gloom-and-doomers to snap out of it, and while the title track doesn't wander all that far lyrically, it benefits from a chanted verse brimmed in (positive) attitude. The vibe, overall, is beach-blanket warm and blue-sky ready. Sunshine earns a pocketful, if not more, of pop-music props. --Tammy La Gorce
Album Description:
Deluxe edition of her most recent US album. Includes 5 bonus dance remixes plus a DVD with live concert performances and video's.

- Add some sunshine to your day...
Natasha Bedingfield's sophomore album Pocketful of Sunshine builds on her strong debut Unwritten, blending R&B with pop ballads and slick production. Opening with the upbeat "Put Your Arms Around Me," the second track is the standout single (the music video is captivating as well) "Pocketful of Sunshine," followed by the Caribbean-kissed "Happy." Natasha slides firmly into R&B territory on "Love Like This" with Sean Kingston. "Angel" was another track that I fell in love with; the guitar intro reminded ... Read More

- Thank you mucho
I love the cd! Some of the lyrics are iffy, but it's perfect for a girl trip!
Rating: - Sounds Like 6 Other Singers and Each Song sounds the same.
Well I like the CD. Although, she sounds like Adele, C. Bailey Rae, and 4-5 other female singers who all want to sound like Joss Stone. In that respect, they are all kinda distracting to listen to because Joss is so much better than them all (although her last CD was not good because it was infiltrated with alot of noise). The CD was like listening to one long song because there is not much variety. A but chirpy, bouncy, bubble gum with forced raspy voice at times, but at times truely lovely. ... Read More
Rating: - Best Album she's put out yet!
Wow, i love it when singers who aren't black can actually sing like they are. Pocket full of sunshine really should be considered r &b, but is simply considered pop. Angel has to be one of the best soulful pop songs to come out in a very long time.Size Matters is a really great song as well. She does an excellent job of trying to not over sing but still sound great at the same time. Love like this is avery good song, and I could def. hear the passion in her voice. Overall, this is an excellent CD! Don't ... Read More
Rating: - good choice
I don't have a great imagination for picking out gifts for my wife, usually just flowers, chocolates and jewelry, but I did right by getting this CD for her birthday.
