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.

- Too much sun is bad 4 your health.
I only like 3 songs off this.I could listen to "Pocket Full of Sunshine" over and over and i was hoping there would be more songs like that.But unfortunately there are alot of those dreaded skip-overs that are just unlistenable in my oppinion.I like "put ur arms around me" and the last song comes in as a savior for a waste of an album "not givn' up".It's as if they knew and they said "man we need one more good song on here or else this is gonna tank".the song "soulmate" is ok for a ballad, ...

Rating: - Sadly repetitive, yet talented
Everyone knows and probably likes the title track.However, outside of that and possibly one or two other songs, this album is mind numbingly repetitive, as many pop singer albums are these days.Natasha has an outstanding voice and brings out her passion for music and life/love in everything she sings, but don't count on this CD/mp3/whatever to bring earth-shattering inspiration and originality to the music scene.If you like soulful pop with a little R&B, then this album is for you.Otherwise, ...

- Pleasantly surprised........
The majority of my musical CD's/mp3's are hard rock (AC/DC,Earshot, Disturbed,etc.), classic rock, Progressive Rock (Dream Theater),top 40 country, or basically anything with a good beat. My 3 year old daughter and I kept hearing pocket full of sunshine on the radio and she would energetically hum and start dancing around every time this song came on. Now she knows most of the chorus. I decided to buy it for this very reason and once my wife and I gave it a total listen we were pretty impressed with ... Read More

- Love it!
I love this CD! Upbeat, positive, all around "feel-good" dance music. Lots of great tunes...my favs being Pocketful of Sunshine and Freckles.
Rating: - another great album
What I really like about Natasha Bedingfield's music is that it has such a great variety.Half sounds like music I listen to all the time and the other half doesn't, but she writes it so well, I don't bother to skip.It's a great 2nd album to put on and listen all the way through.
