In the United Kingdom, New Zealand-born Natasha Bedingfield and brother Daniel Bedingfield have seemingly taken up permanent residence at the top of the pop charts. He's an earnest rocker with a dance music bent. She's an altogether more exciting prospect--a singer-songwriter who refuses to sit still, charging through decadent R&B ("Single"), jittery electro-pop ("I'm A Bomb") and first-class balladry ("I Bruise Easily"), invoking the likes of Beyonce and Gwen Stefani. And, okay, sometimes Nelly Furtado. An all-star production team, including former Robbie Williams collaborator Guy Chambers, makes for a debut that sounds like an instant greatest-hits set--just add cheekbones. --Aidin VaziriCustomer Reviews:

WOW!.......2007-04-24
Great upbeat set of tracks for Everyday Life..........2007-03-27
And above all the rest, her song "Single" *always* puts a smile on my face, and reminds me to be proud of exactly who I am and where I am in life...
Absolutely fantastic. ^.^

The Bacon Brothers say it best on this hilarious CD's title track: "Poultry in motion is a beautiful thing." So is a record that grabs you by the funnybone from its opening (the Seldom Herd's "Cows") and doesn't let go till the final note is clucked. Sandra Boynton, whose illustrated board books have become as much a part of every toddler's reading list as Mother Goose, makes a convincing case here that authors can succeed brilliantly as very silly songwriters. Meryl Streep, Laura Linney, Kevin Kline, Natasha Richardson, and fourteen other performers all qualify as contenders for king and queen of the coop, and they whoop it up enough to guarantee the most enjoyable sing-along ever. --Tammy La GorceCustomer Reviews:

2007 Sophomore Album from the Successful British Pop Singer. The First Single from the Album is "i Wanna have Your Babies".Customer Reviews:
Self-confident.......2007-06-13
Stars: I Wanna Have Your Babies, (No More) What Ifs, How Do You Do?, When You Know You Know
Don't be fooled...this album is great........2007-05-18
The album opens with the acoustic-funk pop track called "How Do You Do", this album's version of her hit song from her last album, "Single". The great chords and powerful vocals from Natasha make this one a surefire hit. The next song is already a hit, that being "I Wanna Have Your Babies", which has reached Top 20 in the UK, is the quirky kind of pop track Natasha is notable for. The album's most heart-wrenching ballad is track #3, "Soulmate". Rumored to be the next single, this song is like "I Bruise Easily" part two, only not much like the latter. The chords and melody of the song make it beautiful, and Tash's deliverance on the track is A+. "Who Knows", "Say it Again", and "Pirate Bones" all follow (in that order), and all are a little something different from her. Keeping the album fresh is what keeps the artist in the spotlight, and Tash has proved she can do that.
Next up is "Backyard", a song about the simplicity of childhood and wanting to hark back to those times of "cowboy hats and tutus". The track "Tricky Angel", one of my favorites, is next. This is a soulful pop song with a bit of an edge, and Natasha serves it up fresh on this one as well. On the subject of soulful, next is "When You Know You Know", a pure soulful upbeat ballad about love today. Following that amazing song is the interlude "I Think They're Thinking". "(No More) What Ifs" has haunting strings and pianos, making the song something different in a good way. Rapper Eve is featured on the track, and her verse is amazing. "Not Givin' Up" is a dance-style track that is easily one of my favorites from it. The song mixes pop and rock into dance production, making it a great listen. "Still Here" and "Smell the Roses", both ballads (the former more than the latter), close the album greatly and leave the album in a way that makes you wonder what will come out of Natasha's creative (albeit quirky) mind.
This album is great and I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.
Brilliant British Pop!.......2007-05-03
"How Do You Do" a midtempo song with a catchy riff that goes on throughout the song is one of the best songs. The lyrics are really well penned and funny to listen to. I think it deals with finding Mr. Right like several others also do. First single "I Wanna Have Your Babies" is as straightforward as it can be, it's both quirky and catchy pop song that sound alot like her previous music. These are the kind of songs Natasha is suited best for. Rumoured second single "Soulmate" is a ballad and a very good one. The hook goes like this "Who doesn't long for someone to hold/who knows how to love you without being told/somebody tell me why I'm on my own/if there's a soulmate for everyone". Next song is called "Who Knows" and is another midtempo with good arrangements about being undecided if the relationship is the right for marriage or not. On "Say It" get's quite personal where Natasha admit she found the perfect one. Adam Levine sings backround vocals here, and it make me wonder if she's singing about him?. More about insecurity in "Pirate Bones" a decent midtempo again with elegant production.
A ballad called "Backyard" about how a relationship is turning sour and Natasha wish it could be like it used to be again, in the backyard. Funny lyrics on this one. "Tricky Angel" is an defenite highlight, with good beats and very good R&Bish hook. If there is a song to become a big hit in USA it's this one. Credits to the lyrics too, that are funny as always with methaphors. It's also about finding the right one "Tricky angel got me falling Without my consent/ And I'm so glad he did 'cause I didn't know you were heaven sent". "When You Know, You Know" is very soulish with elegant classic soul vibe and actually ends up with some acappella, not the average Bedingfield song but welcolmed, here she makes the best she can of her voice and the song is indeed diffrent. "No More (What If's) is also a potential crossover hit with Hip Hopish production and a cameo from Eve. "Not Givin Up" has the coolest production (from Danja) and sound alot like a mix between Pop and Techno, lyrics aren't the best but the song is catchy as hell. "Still Here" is a Diane Warren penned song, not too surprising it's a ballad huh?. The album closes with "Smell The Roses" more romanticism in ballad format.
Overall, regardless of what kind of songs you prefer Natasha Bedingfield to sing, I think this album is undeniably catchy. It may not be as instantly appealing like some of her music from "Unwritten" but it belongs to the quality music category with well penned, often very funny lyrics, fresh and elegant productions. Some songs lack the killer hooks but I think most songs are quite good with a few standouts that could become smash hits. If you liked her debut album, you probably know what kind of artists she is and you'll apreciate this album too, some people may even like this album better I think cause the lyrics are easy to relate to and personal. So far, one of the best pop albums of 2007 and recommended.
"NB" was releasd in Europe on April 30 but will not be released in USA til August, unless you want to get the import version available now.
Well noted!!.......2007-05-03
With a breathy excited vocal delivery, equally suited to her soul singer or rock chick personas, she returns with her catchy Brit pop.
Opening cut, the horn laden marching "How do you do" has her wanting to ask her guy out. Lead off single, the catchy (but bloke scaring) "I wanna have your babies" is cut from the same pop/hip hop fabric as her smash from her debut "These words".
"Who knows" is a lovely pop/rock song that wouldn't be out of place on a Pink CD.
Other standouts are the midtempo pop "(No more) what ifs" featuring a cameo from Eve, the delightful plodding synths of "Pirate bones" (with thumping pianos emphasizing the chorus), and the sparse guitar/percussion driven "Tricky angel".
Slowing things down, we have the delightful acoustic "Soulmate", "Backyard", the piano ballad "Still here" (which finds her soaring vocally), and the retro seventies sounding "When you know you know".
Musically, it's the same direction as her debut, but with even catchier songs. Great!!

Jump (or be forced) directly into the three-plus hour DVD on this a/v split release for footage of Josh Homme and band on the stage in London during the hottest months of 2005. There are plenty of behind-the-scenes shots of the ever revolving group. Foo Fighter Dave Grohl pops up. ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons pulls a cameo. It's all here. Key performances include "No One Knows," "Little Sister," "Burn The Witch," plus smoking versions of "Fun Machine" and "I Wanna Make It Wit Chu" (from Desert Sessions Vol. 9 & 10). The audio-only disc provides listeners with 75 minutes of pure QotSA including a powerhouse reading of "I Think I Lost My Headache" and an appropriately ragged "Long Slow Goodbye." This often strange picture is a fine fitting snapshot. --Jedd BeaudoinAlbum Description
You can think of this feature-length concert DVD/live album, which features all the crucial Queens hits from their studio albums, as a "to go" version of their decibel-happy shows, but that really won't be doing the three and a half hours of live, rare, and acoustic performances and behind-the-scenes footage of the band and their pals like Dave Grohl, Mark Lanegan, Billy Gibbons, and former Queens bassist Nick Olivieri making fools of themselves, justice. It might help to think of Over the Years as a 21st-century version of Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains the Same for the volume of its material, or even A Hard Day's Night for its willingness to show the Queens having a laugh, but they'd rather you see and hear it for what it really is--the definitive encapsulation of the band and their music from their not-so-humble beginnings to their current status as one of the rock's biggest and most dynamic acts. Included in the concert footage from the band's sold-out Brixton Academy and Koko shows in London last summer are live favorites from Rated R and Songs for the Deaf such as "No One Knows," "Feel Good Hit of the Summer," and "Go with the Flow," as well as new Queens classics from their latest album Lullabies to Paralyze like the smash single "Little Sister" and their most recent bombshell, "Burn the Witch." In addition to the three-plus hours of live and uncut Queens mayhem, Over the Years also boasts 75 minutes of audio bliss that covers all the bases Queens fans need to get the rush of their favorite songs performed live and loud shot directly into their homes. Also included are the brand-new track "Fun Machine" as well as "Make It Wit Chu," a previously unreleased gem from singer Josh Homme's fabled Desert Sessions, an ongoing series of collaborative songwriting and recording sessions where marquee musicians such as PJ Harvey and Deen Ween are invited down to his studio Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, California, to join him in collectively exploring new musical terrain.Customer Reviews:

A Falling Experience!.......2006-01-28
When I finally decided to purchase this DVD I was a little worried. ( I owned songs for the deaf, and downloaded every single, and a whole bunch of random songs.) I didnt know if an entire DVD would entertain me. I saw them recently on tour, And they are Incredible. The live accuracy of the (ever-evolving) band was perfect. You hear almost EXACTLY what they have on their studio recordings.
Luckily, their album sounds, and live show COLLIDES into this wonderful set of discs.
During the first batch of songs("Flow" through "little sister") I felt like all I did was spend $15 bucks. But at some point I finally realised I was completely engrossed. A Perfect balance of familiarity and Improv. And of course, the DVD goes on for TONS of songs after that!. I Wish I could come up with a fault of this recording. But there isn't any. Great Sound, Good Song selection, Awesome Visual/Angle Imagery.
It also has alot of Hilarous crowd interaction and Clips
If your just skimming this review, This is a Great DVD/CD set. The Sound Quality is listenable, not like cheap LIVE recordings. PERFECT for putting on in the background. And ABSOLUTELY AMAZING to sit down and watch with the lights dimmed, maybe a couple drinks. = )
one of better music dvd's i own.......2006-01-14
the only reason why i only gave this 4 stars is because it was basically only one show with only one line up. i really would have liked to get better recordings (and better camera angles) of their older shows. oh well.
hopefully a kyuss dvd will eventually make it's way to shelves.

Album Description
2007 sophomore album by the UK singing sensation. N.B. is very much reflective of this 'different place' that she is in now, proving that affairs of the heart, although difficult, make for excellent song-writing material. Each track on the album explores a varying stage of the 'relationship' story, and the issues, experiences, and processes that come with these stages: from the lonely place of never feeling like you will fit with anyone ('Soulmate'), through the flirting, dancing stage where you feel you might ('How Do You Do?'), to the moment at which the game playing ends and open honesty prevails ('Say It Again'). Never one to mouth empty platitudes or re-hash well-worn clichés, Natasha's gift for creating Pop music that does not sacrifice intelligence on the altar of universal appeal prevails throughout. On N.B., Natasha worked with a stellar team of talent including Mike Elizondo of Eminem/Dre/50 Cent fame, Adam Levine (Maroon 5), Greg Kurstin (Beck, Lily Allen), previous collaborators Steve Kipner, Andrew Frampton, Wayne Wilkins, Danielle Brisebois and Wayne Rodrigues and long time Madonna collaborator Pat Leonard. 14 tracks including the first single 'I Wanna Have Your Babies'. Sony/BMG. 2007.

OPERA IS FOR EVERYONE and so, The Classical Child At the Opera was created to give children a taste of the magic, majesty and humor of this glorious art form. Well-known songs and arias have been selected that appeal to young sensibilities, while easy-to-follow English translations bring these delightful stories and characters to life. Care has been taken by the singers to present the music in a way that is light hearted and accessible sometimes gentle, sometimes raucous, but always positive and engaging.Customer Reviews:

What every kid (and parent needs!).......2004-02-06
What's Opera Doc?.......2003-03-29
As much as I enjoy this album, I question the inclusion of the last three songs, which come from "Hansel and Gretel". The voices on the songs are of the overly florid nature, and I can see my daughter lose interest. I think it would have been more interesting to include more "Carmen," or arias from other such popular operas "Rigoletto" or "Aida". Or if the album needed to end on a slower note, the overcoat song from "La Boheme."
IAC, I have caught my daughter humming bits and pieces from the operas. Even I have managed to amaze people by correctly identifying the Flower Duet from "Lakme"! I strongly recommend this album.

there are many CD's that had only two or three tracks that I like. That seems to be a complaint
by many people, and it is a reason why the music download services are so popular among
consumers. I like CD's where the whole CD is music I like. That being said, I was extremely
pleased with "L'instant d'après." Francophone music is expensive in the United States, and I felt
that my money was well spent with this CD.
I was pleased with the technical qualities of Natasha St-Pier's voice, as well as all the
arrangements and instrumentation on the whole album. "L'instant d'après" was a welcome
addition to my Francophone rock collection. I look toward adding additional titles from Natasha
St-Pier.

Fair cd.......2007-01-04
I wanted so badly to love this album..........2006-12-27
I did like the song "Wild Horses" and the two aforementioned, but the rest of the cd was extremely disappointing - not a memorable track among them. I wanted to make "Single" my anthem - but could never end up getting into it.
Don't bother buying the cd - go to iTunes or something and just get those 3 tracks...
XCP makes piracy attractive.......2006-09-16
I was going to buy the CD. After all the warnings about the XCP software, I am considering just downloading the tracks, instead. If I could directly pay Ms. Bedingfield for her music, I would.
Ms. Bedingfield, please talk to your agent about this.
An Unwritten Blend of Genres.......2006-07-16
1. These Words: Natasha's US debut single & sophomore UK single. Reason I bought this & I'm not disappointed! Great R&B tune about expressing your love on paper & writing songs in general. I can relate since I myself am a budding thirteen-year-old songwriter. 10/10
2. Single: I own the DualDisc version of this album, so I get the treat of seeing the UK music video of the song, which I think is also the US one. Third US single & debut UK single. Natasha's self-proclaimed anthem for people without significant others. Infectious beat, top-notch vocals & great lyrics. The '06 mix, (which I downloaded, but is also on the 2006 re-issue of this record,) features a slight remix of beat as well as a newly recorded bridge with the added lyrics: "I'm single and I'm likin' it this way. I'm single and I'm solo and I'm happy," which add a catchy edge to the track. 10/10
3. Unwritten: Sophomore US single & third UK single. Excellent. Fabulous message in the lyrics & great beat. Love the gospel choir as well as the acoustic guitar loop. 10/10
4. Silent Movie: A rocky track with excellent vocals about asking her boyfriend to love her without any complaints or being egotistical. 10/10
5. Stumble: Letting some guy know that she knows he loves her & she loves him back. So pretty. 10/10
6. Peace of Me: Letting a guy know that he figured her out & she likes it & it actually recovers her from some depression. Very good instrumentation on this song. 9/10.
7. If You're Gonna: A rocky song letting guys know that they have to protect her & be a good man to be hers. Excellent song. 10/10
8. Drop Me in the Middle. This song features British female rapper Estelle which is cool because there's something to me about British accents that sounds so cool to me! Natasha explains on the DVD side of the DualDisc version of this album that it means to just put her anywhere and she guarantees the she alone will liven up the place. The sound is pretty cool too. 9/10.
9. We're All Mad: This track shows that we all have our bad days and it shows a reason for why we as a global population stand here today. While the lyrics send a great message this, to me, is the album's worst track. I just don't like the sound or the vocals on this song. 6.5/10.
10. I Bruise Easily: Fourth international single and rumored to be the same in America. This is a beautiful track about being very emotionally fragile and that the strong initial vibe given off was just to keep up appearances. Because of this, Natasha warns you to "be gentle when you handle her" meaning to watch what you do or say so that she doesn't go into a deep depression. 10/10.
11. The One That Got Away: An R&B/dance track with a message that conveys that Natasha is not prepared to let the man she loves slip right through her fingers. Really funky. 10/10
12. Size Matters: a bouncy dance/pop number with Natasha saying she believes size matters. *giggles* Oh, will you get your mind out of the gutter?! She means the size of a man's HEART. She does it in a really cool, funky way, too. 10/10
13 Wild Horses: A ballad about wanting to be free as her spirit desires. Very pretty although a bit dragged out. 9/10.
14. Sojourn (hidden track): A ballad, as its predecessor, but instead of using primarily piano, this track primarily uses acoustic guitar. Natasha envisions an energy that encourages her to go on with her life; a "sojourn from the north." Beautiful. 10/10
Average grade: 9/10

(2) That said, this is not really a classical violin disk, per se. Kennedy complements Kroke, but does not impose himself at all--what great modesty and restraint for a player of Kennedy's renown! Bottom like, this is an awesome E. European folk disk accompanied by some of the most inspired and flawless violen playing that I have (in my admittedly limited experience) ever heard.
This is just a wonderful, fun and eclectic disk that has much to offer music lovers of a number of different persuasions. (I must admit that Ajde Jano is still my favorite track.)

I have been to Krakow and with this music in the back of my mind I am looking forward to going back again and to hopefully find folk bands which are similar to this astonishing master piece performed by Nigel Kennedy.
Enjoy!

Eden for ears and dancing feet.......2003-08-18
Eastern Folkmusic meets an incredible strings section and sometimes vocals that I like and that I don't (!!!!) like.
Kroke, the incredible Trio from Krakow, Poland is working together with Kennedy in the whole Eeast European music history and they give their chosen music a modern touch with sometimes jazzy influences I like and a really cool picked in e-violin. The album is almost very danceable and that is quite lovely. I like those tunes.
1.) Ajde Jano ... is the first track it has a really danceable lovely rhythm. I remember that tune cuz I heard it as opening track at Krokes solo tour this year in February in Germany. I absolutely don't know the vocals. I dunno why. I think after listening to it for even more times I will got to love it. I see small kids dancing at bloomy fields when I am listening to that tunes.
2.) Lullaby for Kamila ... is a melancholy tune. I really love it. I love all tragical melancholy sounds. They make me smile and the simple *mmmh mmmmmh* backup vocals are breathtaking for me.
3.) T 4.2 (hint:Tea for two) is just cool ... I heard it for the first time at the Berlin Museumsinsel Gig last year in Berlin. ... And well I was dancing on my chair ... ... (the rough mix of that piece is at "Ten pieces to save the world" without Kennedys e-violin ---> he goes crazy ... *yummy*)
4.) Eden ... is a track that is on "Ten Pieces to save the world" by Kroke as well without Kennedys e-violin and that was my favourite one of their album. It is a good way straight to Eden. That is honey for ears ( ... with feet ) FOLKY ROCK'N'ROLL, Yeah!)
5.) Dafino ... mmmmh ... that is "stolen" at one Slawish wedding party ... maybe ... ... It sounds really lovely ... I see the happy people taking each other by their hands ...
6.) Jovano Jovanke ... that is music for taking a trip on a long lonesome bad road with a even more bad car and someone in the back is telling you stories of the region where you are right now. It can be that you are on the road with horses as well but it is definitely a traditional Roadmovie soundtrack ... ... or it is the last song at one very long party ... you know when the sun is almost coming again in the morning. Everyone seems to be tired but none will stop. Just lovely. And when the sun is up. The band at the party will find new energy and kicks all their energy in the last tunes.
7.) Ederlezi ... that is originally by Goran Bregovic ... I love this interpretation ...
8.) Kasimierz ... He is Jewish and he is telling us a story ... it isn't a sad story ... it is one with happy end ... it is maybe a story about a love ... .. who cares. It is lovely.
9.) One voice ... someone is telling a sad story ... definitely ... it is without happy end. That was my first impression. That's it. I love Kennedys violinpart.
10.) Tribute to Maria Tanase ... was a Romanian singer ... she was known as East European Edith Piaf. I got some tunes of her at one Vinyl LP. She is incredible.
... well and she is dead and these tunes are for her. A better tribute cannot exist.
11.) Time 4 Time ... that is a joke with time ... and with rhythm and with folky tunes. I really love it.
12.) Vino ... means Wine ... so it is clear it can be just a drunken song ... ... it shows me how my brain looks like in delirium. ... everything isn't that clear I want to see.
13.) Lost in Time ... is just and simply wonderful.
14.) Kukush ... is my favourite track ... that is Hardcore Party. I love those tracks I love those music. I know such similar tracks from my trips I have done already to Romania. And I want to dance of course. It is my favourite, definitely before Eden!
Absolutely mesmerizing!.......2003-08-13
