On Pocketful of Sunshine, Natasha Bedingfield sounds like Joss Stone only bouncier. Nothing wrong with that. In fact, the brightness and buoyancy of this record will keep it spinning long after CDs that shoot for hipster credibility — with funked-up bells and fancy production whistles — have been deposited back into their jewel cases for all eternity. Check it out: "Love Like This," with Sean Kingston, puts its hands in the air for puppy love — the kind that'll bring you back to your "middle school kiss" — and a couple of other songs follow the youth-themed suit. "Backyard" time-travels to an idyllic childhood, while "Freckles" fleshes out, for the benefit of the insecure, the beauty in imperfections. Elsewhere, Bedingfield is her indomitably upbeat self. Opener "Put Your Arms Around Me" reeks of reassurance and tenderness. "Happy" implores would-be gloom-and-doomers to snap out of it, and while the title track doesn't wander all that far lyrically, it benefits from a chanted verse brimmed in (positive) attitude. The vibe, overall, is beach-blanket warm and blue-sky ready. Sunshine earns a pocketful, if not more, of pop-music props. — Tammy La Gorce

- Natasha Bedingfield "A Pocketful of Sunshine"
- I have her first cd and although this second cd is good, I don't care for all of the songs on this cd. Usually after I've listened to a cd over and over again, I start to like more of the songs.… More reviews
- "To swim in shallow victory is empty, empty..."
- Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield is pretty flawless for a sophomore album. Bedingfield's vocals have only gotten stronger after her equally as good debut, Unwritten. I just love her voice, she sings her heart out on songs like Happy and the title track. The track I cannot get enough of is Backyard, "your lasso, my tiara/my wand, your plastic bazooka/why… More reviews
