Artist:Daniel Bedingfield
Song:If You're Not the One
Album:Gotta Get Thru This
Singer songwriter Daniel Bedingfield made a big splash especially in England with his 2001 album Gotta Get Thru This. When his second album didn't do nearly as well, he got into writing and producing for others and he is still doing that. He was born Dec. 3, 1979 in Auckland, New Zealand but he grew up in London, England. His sisters are singers Natasha Bedingfield and Nikola Rachelle. They started as a group called DNA Algorhythm. Bedingfield recorded the song Gotta Get Thru This in his bedroom with a microphone plugged into his computer. When the single topped the British charts, Bedingfield signed with Polydor Records. When the album started to take off, Universal released it on Island in the US. Gotta Get Thru This and If You're Not the One were the two big hits. Both Gotta Get Thru This and If You're Not the One topped the British Singles chart. Gotta Get Thru This reached #10 and If You're Not the One reached #15 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was certified 5XPlatinum in England and Gold in the US. Bedingfield wrote all the songs and worked with several producers. If You're Not the One was produced by Mark Taylor. The song is deliberately sappy because Bedingfield thought that would make it a hit. The album is available as a digital download. When Bedingfield's 2004 album Second First Impression didn't do nearly as well, he decided to go on hiatus. Since then he has released a couple of EPs and some singles. He also nearly died in a 2004 car accident. His songs have been recorded by others. Here's the video for If You're Not the One by Daniel Bedingfield.
