Natasha Bedingfield: Strip Me Album Review

 It's hard to believe that almost 11 years ago, 10 in you live in the U.S. like me, that Natasha Bedingfield released her debut album "Unwritten".  The album was a success and she 3 years later released her second album ("N.B." in the UK, "Pocketful of Sunshine in the U.S.) which were both successful as well.  3 more years went by and Natasha released her third album, "Strip Me" in the U.S. (in other countries it was released as "Strip Me Away".  "Strip Me" will be the album I review today so here is my track by track review:

1) Little Too Much: The song was used a trailer for the film "Something Borrowed".  It's about being in love and it can be scary too fall but in the end it's worth it.  9/10

2) All I Need (featuring Kevin Rudolf): This is one of my favorites on the album.  I was completely shocked when I heard the chorus to Kevin Rudolf's hit song "Let It Rock" on the song.  It was really cool and I wish it was released as a single!  The song is about being happy because all you need is what you have.  10/10

3) Strip Me: The second single and title track.  In this song the narrator says you can everything away from me but at the end of the day I'm still the same.  It's very empowering and was the only single from the album to chart on the Billboard U.S. charts.  The video showed Natasha in many different outfits.  10/10

4) Neon Lights: No this not a cover of "Demi Lovato's" song.  The song was featured in the film, "What's Your Number?"  I ignored the song until I heard the movie.  Now it's one of my favorites on the album.  It's very catchy.  10/10

5) Weightless: This was the third single, or at least it was announced as the third single but someone at her label dropped the ball on the single release.  Also Jamie Fox was featured on the single version.  I love hearing this song because it helps me out when I'm having a bad day.  Wish it had a video because it's an amazing song.  10/10

6) Can't Fall Down: The song is about feeling that nothing you do makes anything better and feeling that if you stay down, nothing bad will happen.  Or at least that's how I view the song.  It's pretty good.  8/10

7) Try: This song is a love song about being in love with someone and not giving up on being with them.  It's an amazing ballad.  8/10

8) Touch: The first single from the album.  The song is different from the rest of the album.  It's more dancey than the rest of the album.  I feel it doesn't fit on this album and it's kinda boring.  5/10

9) Run-Run-Run: I liked it at first but after awhile I think it was boring.  5/10

10) Break Thru: I actually haven't really listen to the song until now.  It's pretty good though.  7/10

11) No Mozart: One question, why wasn't this song a single?!?!?!  It's Amazing!  I love part "you don't have to be a Mozart, if you just play it from the heart."  It took awhile to grow on me.  10/10

12) Recover: A piano ballad that talks about healing from the bad things in your life.  It's a great song.  8/10

13) Weightless (Less Is More Version): A stripped back version of the song.  Still an amazing song.  10/10

 "Strip Me" is a very empowering album, however the album was a commercial failure in the U.S. peaking at number 103 on the album charts in the U.S.  My favorite songs are "Weightless", "Strip Me", "Neon Lights", "All I Need (featuring Kevin Rudolf)", and "No Mozart".  Out of 130 points I give the album 111 points which is 85%, a B+.  Natasha's next album "The Next Chapter" is rumored to be released this year.  Thank you for reading this review!
