[Rating:3/5]

If there’s one thing that always sticks out about Natasha Bedingfield’s albums, it is that the songs are continually positive. Strip Me is no exception, and while there is not a bad song on the album, there is one minor downfall.

After listening to every song in succession, one tends to lose the distinction between them. Songs begin to blur together until they’re almost impossible to separate from one another.

“Touch” seems to be the single that stands out the most, probably due to its constant play on the Nivea body lotion commercials, but even so it has something to it that makes it instantly addictive.

The same can be said for “All I Need,” which features Kevin Rudolph interjecting mid-song with the chorus to “Let It Rock.” Overall, this Natasha Bedingfield album is the first one I’ve ever considered downloading and actually listening to.

It seems like this is Bedingfield’s adaptation of the current “edgy pop” trend.
