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 Vaziri

5 out of 5 stars Natasha Rocks.......2007-05-09

I love Natasha Bedingfield. I got her CD from my sister. I love all the songs, my faves (hard to pick!) are These Words, Unwritten, Size Matters, I bruise easily and Wild Horses. I have her DVD, I recommend it to all 'Tasha fans. She is a fantastic signer. She knows what kind of music to do, she has a variety, love songs, dance, slow, all kinds!

4 out of 5 stars WOW!.......2007-04-24

What's truly amazing about the young talent of today is how grounded and committed they are to their sound. Although this is not a deep or penetrating compilation of music (and who says it has to be deep to be good anyway?), the songs work well together as an entire package. And if you listen carefully "Unwritten," has range too. If you want something to listen to as you go about your daily weekend chores this CD won't disappoint. It's upbeat, clean and whole lotta fun.

5 out of 5 stars Great upbeat set of tracks for Everyday Life..........2007-03-27

This album never fails to perk me up during a bad day. Her voice is beautiful, her lyrics are at once uplifting and incredibly soulful, and overall the entire album is like a spot of sunshine.

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. ^.^

5 out of 5 stars Words that flow like silk.......2006-11-29

Natasha is like listening to a dream. Her voice can make you smile and feel good. She has an energy that is unlike many artists that are popular now. Natasha uses that energy to power her music to levels that are sensational and memorable. I am sure most of you have heard at least one of her songs. I am also sure that if you have heard that song you have probably remembered some of the simple yet deep verses. Just thinking of some of her lyrics makes me smile on one of those dark days. I hope that she continues to bring excellent music like this to the public. We deserve more quality musicians like Natasha.

4 out of 5 stars Deserves to be heard.......2006-11-07

Since I hadn't heard much from the radio I'd liked for over a year I found it hard to give into the utter likability of Natasha Bedingfield. Her brother's two hit songs that made it onto radio across the globe did little to make me eager to hear his sister's take on pop music--until my sister started blaring "Unwritten" nonstop after I came home from college this last summer for break. The melody grabs hold instantly to the listener and I myself started noticing I'd be humming the chorus throughout the day. Natasha's singing is quite impressive for a pop star--unlike the infamous pop superstar Britney Spears (hey, I'll credit that Spears did have some good vocal moments on record throughout her career and I am eager to hear new material) to which all female pop stars after are compared, Natasha sounds like an actual trained musician. Her deliciously throaty and smoky sound makes for quite an entertaining and pleasing listen--kind of like Joss but much less affected. The big gem here is the perfect "Unwritten" (evident by how huge the single has become internationally, even breaking into the hard-to-get-in market here in the US) but "Single" is pure girls-rock in 4 minutes, "Stumble" is piano-tinged, "Peace of Me" is a rock song by a pop star and "These Words" is great Hip Hop-infused pop. "I Bruise Easily" and the closing "Wild Horses." Though not a perfect record, Unwritten is definitely an album worth hearing by all.

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 Gorce

This is great music to dance to with your kids. The songs are really amusing and they have great rhythms for dancing. My kids and I have had a lot of fun with this cd.

5 out of 5 stars LOVE it!!.......2007-02-23

My son just got "Dog Train" for his first birthday. I don't know what his opinion on it is yet, but I love it! I love it so much that I ran out to buy a couple more as gifts for my son's playgroup friends. That's when I saw "Philadelphia Chickens" and "Rhinosaurus Tap". I bought both and am completely in love with "Philadelphia Chickens". The songs are really catchy and grown-up enough sounding that I don't get that crazy feeling that I get after listening to other kiddies CDS over and over. Chances are pretty good that I'll be buying a bunch of them as gifts too!

5 out of 5 stars My 2 year loves this CD.......2007-02-18

My 2 year is loves animals and since this CD has a different song for every animal she loves it. She also loves the Belly button song since we have the Belly Button book. I would recomend it for 2 and up. We bought it when she was younger but only recently started requesting the 'Cow Music'

4 out of 5 stars Off beat fun.......2007-01-05

This album is very funny! The songs are humorous and dramatic which makes it PERFECT for my little performer. And as an added bonus, there are some surprising voices added to the mix. However, this is not the standard children's album. It's quite eclectic and off beat. You will "get it" much more if you know Ms. Boynton's books.

4 out of 5 stars Self-confident.......2007-06-13

Natasha's second album continues almost the same line as her first album "Unwritten". The style is still something between R & B and pop music. The lyrics are much self-confident than in "Unwritten", "Pirate Bones" and "I Wanna Have Your Babies" are good examples. Natasha's voice is still the same but some songs bring out more of it: for example "When You Know You Know" made me think Mariah Carey's earlier stuff. The beautiful ballad "Still Here", a rhythmful "(No More) What Ifs" (featuring Eve), and "Say It Again" are just perfect to make this album more interesting and diverse. The interlude "I Think They're Thinking" is also quite good. Still, the album would have need more "hits"...Natasha has a great, original voice, and she should sing more challenging songs.

4 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled...this album is great........2007-05-18

Natasha Bedingfield is back! Following the worldwide success of her debut album Unwritten, she is back with a new album titled N.B.

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.

4 out of 5 stars Brilliant British Pop!.......2007-05-03

In the 60's we had a British Rock invasion with Rolling Stones, Beatles, The Who and the Animals, right now it seems like the majority of British artists to make it in USA are Pop or Soul artists. Lilly Allen, Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse and ofcourse Natasha Bedingfield who had a smash hit worldwide with her debut album "Unwritten" and spawned a few memorable single hits aswell. Her debut album was a quirky cheerful pop masterpiece with funny playful lyrics about independence and single life of a young woman. Lyrics were just as good as the melodies/hooks and In my oppinion it was one of the best, if not the best Pop album of 2004. NB, which refers to her initials got a fair share of goodies aswell, but the themes are diffrent and rely more on finding Mr. Right and settle down. It's very well produced with good producers like Dr. Dre protege, Mike Elizondo and Timbaland protege Nate "Danja" Hills, but Steve Kipner appears again,(wrote several of her old hits) and so does Andrew Frampton. Adam Levine from Maroon 5 sing backround vocals on some songs, which is quite fascinating!. While this album got simularities with her debut, it focus further on production (and I must say it's really good) but not all songs have the greatest of hooks, but they grew on you nonetheless. Natasha Bedingfield is one of a kind with her natural and openminded attitute and ability to send out her feelings to the listener. Simply put, you knew her music when you hear it and hopefully you won't be too picky with her sophmore album.

"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.


5 out of 5 stars Well noted!!.......2007-05-03

N.B. could either stand for Natasha Bedingfield's initials, or Note well!!! Her sophomore CD certainly makes one take note.

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 Beaudoin

Album 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.

4 out of 5 stars To Grandmothers house we go...........2007-03-16

Being an avid fan of QOTSA I was rather excited to listen to this album and watch the DVD because of the great track listing. Overall everything is awesome, with one exception, I have a really hard time enjoying it only because Joey Castillo is going at a little bit of a faster tempo than the songs originally should be at, to me it's very noticeable and it drive me nuts! I just want to yell at him sloooow down a little and it will be perfect. That is the only reason why I did not give it five stars. Other than that this set is awesome, great DVD to watch with lots of great extras and great cameo's as well. And the album is a great summer album, makes you wanna be gettin with the love! Oh one more thing...Nick Oliveri needs to be back in the band again, that guy is SICK(Sick as in really really good)!!!

5 out of 5 stars AMAZING! LAS REINAS SON LO MEJOR!.......2006-03-18

If you love QOTSA, like i do, you must buy this DVD. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!! LAS REINAS DE LA EDAD DE PIEDRA SON LO MEJOR!!!

4 out of 5 stars One heck of a mind-f***!.......2006-02-01

As far as QOTSA albums go, it's okay. The songs are fresh-sounding (which is something I don't always find with live albums) but the real item being showcased here is the concert DVD. Impeccably trippy. It adds a completely enthralling element to the already rocking music and let's you relax and such with the band in a sort of intimate way. I definitely recommend this to hardcore QOTSA fans but I'm not sure the average joe would appreciate it as much as I did.

5 out of 5 stars A Falling Experience!.......2006-01-28

Despite Worries, I Knew the disc will be a valued part of my collection.

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. = )

4 out of 5 stars one of better music dvd's i own.......2006-01-14

this is definately a must have for any QOTSA fans. they play stuff off of every album but play more off of the s/t and songs for the deaf than anything else. luckily they don't play much off of rated r (that album is definately the weak link). the sound quality is fantastic so don't be worried about that. it's got a bunch of bonus stuff when nick was still in the band.

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.

    Release Date: 2007-05-01

    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.

    5 out of 5 stars Once Again - An Impeccable Album From Natasha!.......2007-03-18

    I have been listening to French Female vocal ballads since the late 60's...; Natasha is the first artist who creates music album with extraordinarily exquisite songs from beginning to the end for the entire album! It is not just only this particular CD, all her previous releases are just as great as the others... She even sang in Cantonese for one track in her "Emergence" album, and Cantonese is a very difficult language in pronunciation!

    Natasha: Merci de votre musique extraordinairement merveilleuse, qui apporte tellement le bonheur à tant d'auditeurs autour du monde. Merci! Merci! Merci!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Simply The Best.......2007-01-01

    Let me make this short and to the point. Natasha is the best French language singer in the world. This CD is phenomenal, just like all of her others. This lady never has a weak song. Un Ange is my favorite on this CD.

    5 out of 5 stars Her best yet.......2006-10-04

    Longeur d'Ondes is Natasha St-Pier's best yet. More mature than her previous recordings, it features interesting lyrics and stronger melodies coupled with that incomparable voice. The more you listen to it, the better it gets, until you find you are listening to those tunes swimming around your head all day.

    Do buy this if you like great music (and you don't need to understand French, but it helps).

    5 out of 5 stars wonderful music.......2006-04-16

    What a great album. Mostly melancholic but very beautiful. One song is better than the other. It's very refreshing to hear this melodic music in French (it sounds so much deeper this way). Natasha's voice is incomparable, equally gentle, emotional and intense.

    5 out of 5 stars A bit different style from her previous work, but still a great album.......2006-03-05

    I'm a huge fan, and I own all of her albums. The songs in this CD are a bit different from her previous work. I liked her 3rd album the best. However, this is still an excellent CD with some really really great songs. Not to mention her voice is beautiful and extremely rich. I highly recommend it.

    Album Description

    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.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent teaching tool.......2006-05-10

    I use this CD is my classroom for a wide variety of activities including art instruction for which it is ideally suited. It is hard to recommend this CD enough! Thanks for putting it together.

    5 out of 5 stars I have only one complaint about this CD.......2006-04-16

    My one complaint is that after I listen to this CD, the catchy tunes get stuck in my head! And then I want to keep listening to it more and more. I love the selections on this CD, the fact that the songs are in English (I always wondered what the "Figaro, Figaro, Figaro" song was about!), and that a little background is given to each piece as well.

    5 out of 5 stars What every kid (and parent needs!).......2004-02-06

    All I can say is my family LOVES this CD! We have a blast singing along, dancing, etc. It's made opera a new discovery for all of us.

    3 out of 5 stars What's Opera Doc?.......2003-03-29

    No, this isn't Bugs Bunny's version of opera. It is, however, an excellent introduction to opera, for young and old alike. The the translations to English are quite clever, and the singers' voices are, for the most part, excellent and clear (overly florid voices can be such a turn-off). Grant Doyle, the baritone, is a particular stand-out: rather than sing "at" you, he manages to convey humor and emotion in his parts... you can almost *see* the funny bird catcher, Papageno, in the three songs from Mozart's "Magic Flute", which happent to be my 5-year old's favorite tracks. Doyle's turn as Figaro in "Largo al Factorum" from "The Barber of Seville" is pure joy. The children's chorus in "The Children's March" from "Carmen" is also delightful, and Gabriella Santinelli's(?) voice as the doll from Offenbach's "Tales of Hoffman" is simply amazing.

    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.

    5 out of 5 stars Lots of Fun Music.......2002-11-29

    Our baby seems to enjoy this operatic CD almost as much as her parents enjoy it. Maybe she doesn't even really hear it, but she does see her parents acting silly and singing along to the catchy opera songs. I think we'll be listening to this one for many years to come. You'll probably really enjoy this CD if you have an appreciation for opera already.

    This album is really outstanding. I like most of the songs on the CD, especially "Tant que c'est toi", "J'avais quelqu'un", "Croire" and "Qu'y a-t-il entre nous?"
    Natasha has indeed a wonderful voice. I really recommend it.
    Bonne écoute!

    5 out of 5 stars Never regret.......2005-08-10

    Natasha is an amazing singer. She has a powerful and sexy voice. Every song in this disc has a special and distinctive feeling that shows how Natasha's talents have been grown and developed to maturity. Buy this CD, listen and feel it. You won't regret it.

    4 out of 5 stars C'est beau!.......2005-05-14

    This is at least Natasha St-Pier's third album, and definitely her best effort to date. This album has a more varied style that shows off Natasha's fresh and beautiful voice in catchy arrangements. The influence of Pascal Obispo comes through, especially on guitar. My favorite tracks are Tant Que C'est Toi and Chacun Pour Soi, although they are really all pretty good and grow on you with repeating listening. Now one of Quebec's very best female singers, Natasha St-Pier and Isabelle Boulay are both in a better place than Celine Dion.

    5 out of 5 stars Every title on the CD is great.......2005-03-29

    This CD has good sound and is well orchestrated. In the past several years, I have found that
    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.

    5 out of 5 stars A wonderful album from an artist who was new to me!.......2004-11-13

    These are beautiful songs with powerful lyrics, a compelling voice and very creative musical arrangements. Natasha really offers something enduring and special. I get the feeling that people will be enjoying her recordings years and decades from now!

    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 Vaziri

    A few good songs. If you can download a song or two, go ahead. Would not recommend purchasing the entire cd.

    2 out of 5 stars I wanted so badly to love this album..........2006-12-27

    after seeing Miss Natasha perform "Unwritten" and "These Words" live at the Dick Clark "Rockin' New Years Eve" party (yes it's pre-taped). I'd only heard these two songs on the radio and didn't know much about her - but she was so cute and spunky I couldn't wait to run out and buy her cd. (Though the producer did say "oh good, she's in a good mood today.", which made me wonder, is she normally uber cranky? But I digress..)

    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...

    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.

    5 out of 5 stars An Unwritten Blend of Genres.......2006-07-16

    This album infuses dance, R&B, pop & rock. It blends them incredibly well! Here it is track-by-track:

    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

    5 out of 5 stars Superb.......2007-06-20

    I have owned this CD for some years and it is possibly my most favourite of favourites. Something has happened to one of the tracks so I am buying another copy. I can't bear to have it incomplete. This CD speaks to my soul with every piece. When you think you have heard the best of the CD the next just grabs your heart. The combination of Nigel Kennedy and the Kroke Band is absolutely superb. I can listen to them for hours on end. If you are a Nigel Kennedy fan this one is a must. No, a need.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!.......2007-01-26

    This record demands a number of listenings. I am not a huge classical violin fan (I admit I cannot even remember why I purchased this disk) and this CD sat on my shelf for years. Once in a while, I'd listen to Ajde Jano, which I liked quite a bit and that was it (BTW, not only is this disk a departure for Kennedy, but Atlas shines on this track in a way lacking in her solo work). But over time, I have come to have such a tremendous respect for this disk--once I listened to it enough to really get into the spirit of it. It is incredible!

    (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.)

    5 out of 5 stars Can't stop listening.......2004-02-04

    I am a big lover of classical music and somehow I got my hands around this music. I can only agree a hundred percent with the other listeners that this music is crowling deep inside your soul, makes you want to smile, and to cry at the same time. You will not forget it! It is beautiful and relaxing in some parts, others simply take away your breath and you feel (finally) something about your own passion (again) with this music. Yes, you can imagine people dancing and you can feel the fire of love and dance, intertwined with an endless feeling of happiness.

    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!

    East meet Easts is a 14 pieces filled album that is overwhelming about 65 minutes at all.
    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!

    5 out of 5 stars Absolutely mesmerizing!.......2003-08-13

    As someone who was born into an ethnically diverse family and spent the first part of her life in the former Yugoslavia, it was mesmerizing for me to listen to this CD. I have heard melodies like "Ajde Jano," "Dafino," "Jovano, Jovanke," and "Ederlezi," throughout my childhood and hearing them again brings back so much emotion and so many memories. This is wonderful music and I never tire of hearing it performed in new arrangements and by new performers. Enjoy!
