AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Natasha Bedingfield

Artist:Natasha Bedingfield
Song:Unwritten
Album:Unwritten





Unwritten was one of two top ten pop hits for British singer songwriter Natasha Bedingfield. It was the theme for the reality TV series The Hills. She's still around but marriage and a new child have become more important as they should. She was born Nov. 26, 1981 in Haywards Heath, West Sussex, England but she grew up in South London. As a teen, Natasha was lead singer of The DNA Algorithm with her brother Daniel and sister Nikola. After attending college for a year, she was a part of the Christian group Hillsong London. She sang demos for the songwriting and production duo of Nathan Winkler and Michael Tagaro. This led to a record deal with BMG's Photogenic label and songwriters and producers Steve Kipner and Andrew Frampton. They produced most of Natasha's 2004 debut album Unwritten. Epic Records released the album in the US after Natasha had a couple of hits in England. Unwritten reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was certified Gold but it was bigger in England. Natasha wrote most of the songs on the album. She wrote Unwritten with Danielle Brisebois and Wayne Rodrigues. When Danielle was a child, she was in the sitcom Archie Bunker's Place. She retired from acting and has had success as a songwriter. Rodrigues plays keyboards. Danielle also co-wrote Natasha's other big hit Pocketful Of Sunshine. If you're wondering about the choir that appears in the video, they don't sing on the record. They only appear in the video. Natasha's 2007 album Pocketful Of Sunshine and the single did just as well as the first album. But her 2010 album Strip Me didn't sell and there were no hits. A fourth album was planned but it never got off the ground and she left Epic. She has toured and released a few singles but no albums. And she and her husband had their first child Dec. 2017. So it remains to be seen if she will return. Here's the video for Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield.
