Download Unwritten Ringtone

The English pop sensation Natasha Bedingfield has a far-reaching sense of style-her album tracks range from electro-pop to lush ballads while her voice can swing from smoky to pure in as long as it takes to switch from verse to chorus. Her musical roots grow back to her childhood, where she was part of a local Christian worship band along with her younger sister. The band was named DNA Algorithm and their sound ranged from R&B to sloppy rock n' roll, a precursor of things to come. She also participated in her local church's worship album, Hillsong London's Shout God's Fame. The aspiring songwriter chose a Psychology major over performing arts college, figuring it would add depth to her lyrics. In 2004, she released her debut track, "Single," to UK markets. "Single" made it to #3 and suddenly all England was grooving to Natasha Bedingfield's beat-heavy pop. She followed it up with the up-tempo smash "These Words" that went straight to #1. On the strength of her two hits, her debut full-length Unwritten was one of the most hotly anticipated releases in years. The album received such a warm reception that Natasha set her sites on the historically difficult US market and sent "These Words" across the ocean. It peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and caught the attention of eclectic music fans with open ears. Unwritten slowly gained momentum on the charts, especially in the download market, and Natasha Bedingfield became one of the surprise success stories of 2005.
