Less cartoonish pomp, and Bedingfield’s own performances could feel just as liberated.Here are some suggestions. “This song was just my heart crying out to be free,” she says. Better still is Wild Horses, performed with piano accompaniment.
At a vulnerable-feeling rendition of I Bruise Easily, a couple wearing matching Bedingfield merch clasp hands and gaze into each other’s eyes. Covers of Purple Rain and Coldplay’s The Scientist are better saved for the neighbouring Lucky Voice, but a partial rendition of her brother Daniel’s UK garage-pop classic Gotta Get Thru This is fun, unexpected – and crowd dynamite.Īside from the raucously received Unwritten, the set’s quieter moments are the most memorable. While singing about “free-fall” in the jingle-like Roller Skate, she arches her back like a Goop loyalist during Pilates. She leads energetic arm swaying to These Words, miming record scratching to a lyric about “hip-hop beats”. She talks of her “crazy idea” to spin a microphone in her hand as far as rock’n’roll misdemeanours go, it’s not quite pounding an eight ball and trashing your hotel room.Īt other times, Bedingfield brings to mind the happily naff ease of a Butlin’s Redcoat.
There’s a whiff of the jukebox musical to Bedingfield’s headbanging and hair-tossing, though. She goes hell for leather on phones-aloft rock ballad Wishful Thinking and shows off her vocal grit in Real Love. Backed by a five-piece band, she wears a black velvet jumpsuit and spiked boots, a Boohoo Chrissie Hynde. It’s a decisive left-turn from the Radio 2-friendly sound perhaps expected of Bedingfield, and one she seems to relish. Going by Bedingfield’s live return, the influence of Perry, who’s made rockers out of Christina Aguilera and Pink, has stuck. At the end of music’s lucrative CD era, that was enough to rack up a startling 10m album sales, as well as a Grammy nomination for her wide-eyed gap year anthem Unwritten.īedingfield has teamed up with Linda Perry for her first album in eight years, Roll With Me. Back then, Haywards Heath’s least offensive musical scion struck commercial gold with a smattering of breezily uncynical self-affirmations-as-songs. T he late-noughties reality phenomenon The Hills is back, and so is the woman who wrote its theme song: Natasha Bedingfield.
