Hey you lot!
Writing is going well. I'm very excited about getting the next record out when its finished. just in case you were wondering what I'm up to. I've been creating songs almost everyday the last few weeks.
Just was in studio last week with Wycleff. He is such a musical genius.
Met with Sam Sparro this week. We are gonna make a cool collaboration. I have a good feeling about that one.
Right now I'm in the studio of Mike Elizondo. I wrote with him on my last record. We have about 4 songs we are writing at the same time. I like working with him so much. He is so versatile and plays almost every instrument excellently.
Going home to UK in a month for a bit of writing there. I can't wait. It has been a while since I was last there. Just been a bit preoccupied getting married and honeymooning and writing; that's all kept me away in the states for a while.
Also my song soul mate is playing a lot of radio here in the states a lot right now. I performed it on Dancing with the Stars last week. Some of the dancers from the show danced while I sang. It added a nice twist to the song. I'm glad I was just singing rather than dancing on that show. It looks hard!
love Tasha

The coolest live gig is happening in la on the Feb 25th. If you are anywhere near LA on that day, you MUST go.
My brother and sister Daniel Bedingfield and Nikola Rachelle are doing a show with the coolest band and another pair of siblings Jessi collins and Ryan Collins. All of them seriously genius singers and musicians.
Its a chance to see good music in an intimate setting.
There is a limited amount of space there so make sure you show up early to ensure you get in.
RSVP here!

I wanted to let you know about a cool thing I'm involved in! I'm working with Cosmopolitan magazine to find the next fun, fearless, female musician. Loads of artists submitted performance videos to YouTube for the search. We narrowed down to three rockin' chick musicians who will open for me at my upcoming show at Terminal 5 in New York City on 5th December. The finalists are Fortune 457, Mieka Pauley and Alexa Wilkinson, so go check them out and you can vote for your fave here. Tickets for the show are available through www.ticketmaster.com. Hope to see you there :)

Hello from the Lennon bus!! It's one week in to the tour and all is well.Right now I am writing a song with my mate Brian Kennedy on the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus.This bus has a fully equipped recording studio on it. Its is truly fantastic. It travels with artists all over America offering young people all along the way the chance to use its facilities.The charity was set up by Yoko Ono and my management to provide music education and to make music more accessible to youth.At each stop some kids will hop on from local schools and they get to experience a studio.Sometimes I jump on there before or after a show and write. Which is what I'm in the middle of right now. Love it! I miss my fiancé...oh yeah by the way if you didn't know already I got engaged!!!!! All my friends have been finding out about my news from pictures of me and my sparkly ring on the Calvin Klein red carpet.You may ask 'Why do I miss Matt right now?' Well, he is presently hiking his way to the Everest base camp with my mum who is going to be sky diving really soon. Only about a week now to go till she takes the plunge. I am really glad he is out there with her to make sure she is safe and also to film it so we all get to view the journey later.Thank you to all who have donated to her cause. I know she is very excited about aiming to make a world record in such a dramatic way and she said the only way she has courage to do it is that the money raised from it is going to help so many kids. Lots of love Natasha xxx

On the bus again, the next tour has officially begun! Looks like the NKOTB/Natasha Bedingfield tour is going to be fun. It's sold out in most locations and I've heard the New Kids have some very loyal and up-for-anything fans. And of course my own fans who will be coming are a very appreciative and demonstrative crowd, so I am really looking forward to this next two months of shows.Check out the pics of me on my bus below.My mum leaves for Everest in a week. Stay tuned for progress on this.Check out my mate Rebekah Le Beau's MySpace. She's just had a song play on The Hills and was praised on an MTV top 20 list. I love her song writing. I hung out a lot with Sharon Osbourne this week. We just so happened to be in the same place a lot (watch out for me on America's got Talent). She is so lovely, she reminds me of me own mum a little.I also met some heroes of mine, I did a gig with Carol King (seriously every song writer should listen to her album Tapestry, its pure genius) and Olympic gold winner Shaun Johnson. She was doing outrageously difficult flips while I sang 'Pocket' at an event called Pink with a Twist. Also pop legend Cindy Lauper was there.I'm listening to the Foo Fighters as I write this. The 'Pretender' is one of my fave songs, it's up there with the acoustic version of 'Everlong'. Also Coldplay's newest album really gets better and better the more I listen.By the way, you have got to get Sia's album 'Some People Have Real Problems' especially Litttle Black Sandles, such a good song.Peace and loveNatasha xx

There are clothes strewn all over my bedroom and I have a few hours to pack for a two month tour. What do I bring and what do I leave? New York fashion week is the first stop, I'm singing at the opening of the NFL season with Usher and Keith Urban. It will be aired by hundred thousands of people on September 5th. Then comes Fashion Rocks where I'm going to lots of fashion shows and I'll be sitting there with pen in hand so I can nab the best new outfits before anyone else does!I'm also singing with all the girl powers that be, on a step up for a cure for cancer song. That can also be caught on TV and watch out because the song is really catchy. Check out this blurb from the USA Today!'USA TODAY September 2, 2008LIFELINEFergie, Mariah Carey, Rhianna, Ciara, Ashanti, Carrie Underwood, Keyshia Cole, Leona Lewis, Mary J Blige, Miley Cyrus, Natasha Bedingfield, and Sheryl Crow will sing Just Stand Up together Friday at Fashion Rocks in a segment to be fed to the Stand Up To Cancer show that night on ABC, CBS, and NBC. Fashion Rocks airs Sept 9 on CBS.'That's a great line up if you ask me!Also check out the new Everyone can be an Angel section here and tell me about the Angels in your life! I set up this group to encourage people to talk about people who have inspired them and to bring awareness to my mum's charity Global Angels. She will be skydiving from Everest to help raise money for her charity and she has been an angel to me my whole life. Stop by my group, leave your story and if you'd like, stop by her charity and be an angel as well!

Do you believe in angels? Maybe in the form of someone in your life who touches you with kindness?I have set up a section on my site for you to be able to put up any story you might have that is a tribute to someone acting as an angel in your life or someone else's.Head here and write a thank you or tell of a miracle that someone made happen. Big or small, these are things that deserved to be recognized publicly.I have a story to start us all off...My mum, Molly Bedingfield is the main reason I have just released a single called Angel. The song is a love song, but the theme of wanting to protect someone is directly inspired by the way my mum has always cared for us four Bedingfield kids and also thousands of others all over the world through her charity Global Angels.Right now she is preparing to embark upon facing her worst fear. She is going to set a record skydiving at the height of Everest. She has never sky dived before and she has a genuine fear of heights (she gets so motion sick that she wont even go on roller coasters) and the only reason she is doing it is to raise a as much money as possible for kids. I so am amazed that she is doing this that I want to get behind her as much as possible. I am going to put a link on my site to hers where she will be giving direct updates and also provides a way you can help sponsor her jump if you feel led to. Please check it out and stay tuned because the craziness of this venture is all for a wonderful cause... and lets face it, how many mums do you know who would be willing to do it?Share your stories here. They might end up encouraging someone else.Check out the Global Angels site here

I've had a lovely week off from tour in Santa Monica. There's nothing like the ocean breeze for the inspiration it blows the soul. I love it! So yesterday I went to the hotel café and saw Terra Naomi play. She is wonderful. Check out her Myspace. Her Incredible voice is matched by her likable personality and her lyrics are deep!I'm getting the writing bug again. When I get off tour I always feel like I wake up from some sort of world I've been dreaming.Touring, fun as it is, takes up a lot of energy because of the amount of work it takes to adjust to the different places you find yourself in from day to day. It's harder to stay in touch with what's happening everywhere else in the world. I'm just explaining why its been so long since I last blogged.I'm very glad that one of my favourite new bands, The Script, is doing so well in the UK charts. Congrats to them and look out for them if you haven't heard them already.Other Albums to check out if you get the urge:Brooke Fraser: Albertine. It's incredible music.Sia: Some People Have Real Problems. She's excellentJessica Simpson: Do You Know. I'm not joking, look out for this one. I heard some of her new album and I was blown away. Country music is what Jess should have been doing all along. When she sings these songs you feel them.Coldplay: Viva la Vida. I love this new album.QUOTE OF THE DAY: 'CRAZY ONES'Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy.How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?We make tools for these kinds of people. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Hey! Well, I'm still on tour and the novelty of traveling on a bus has worn off little. Sure, its crazy fun and it has real beds and cool hang out spaces, but nothing beats a real bed in a room that is not moving around from state to state every night. The best hotel beds I've stayed in are at the Sofitel hotel and W hotel, I could sleep forever in those beds. My brother loved the W hotel beds so much that he bought one and had it shipped exactly as it was in the hotel to his house, sheets and all!Was fun to do 4th of July in the US. Considering it's a day that celebrates the US' independence from Britain, it was funny to be part of the festivities as someone who is British. I like the fact that it is about freedom, which i think is something worth having a day devoted to because there are so many people in the world who do not have freedom of choice or speech and other basic human rights. I performed right in Times Square at America's biggest firework display - somewhere I would never have imagined I would be years ago when I first visited New York.I'm pleased that my mates, The Script, have their single out, and album too I think. I hear rumours of them opening for One Republic on there European tour - now thats a gig you HAVE to be at. Both of these bands are incredible.By the way, I just got a text from Kenna saying he is in the UK at the moment. If you havent heard of him, then you need to get on itunes or go into a shop and by his record 'cos he is a huge influence on where music is at right now; a truly artistic artist. I met him on the Justin Timberlake tour as he is a big mate of Justin, when you hear his stuff you see that Kenna probably rubbed off a lot stlyistically on JT's recent album. So check it out.The other person to watch for is my big bro Daniel Bedingfield who has been creating some incredible music recently.I dont know when his release date is, but prepare to be blown away by his phenomenal vocals and genius songs again really soon. He is still one of my favourite artists so I really cant wait for his new stuff to come out, I'm predicting the wait won't be that much longer now.There was a great review of my New York show in the New York post. Also good pic of me if i dont say so myself!I did a crazy faux hawk that day. I've always loved playing with my hair, doing different styles with it to express myself.Being a performer gives me the perfect opportunity to be dramatic with it.Ok, enough from me...speaking of glam and hair; I've got to get my pretty on for some radio interview in San Diego.Tasha XXXXXXX
