I've listened to this music over and over and haven't gotten tired of it. It's one of the most uplifting songs I've heard in awhile.

I heard this song for the first time Friday, went home, bought it, and listened to it about 10x! It's upbeat with great lyrics! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
The sound of sunshine September 8, 2008

I recently downloaded this song on my zune player and I must say that this song is very beautiful and uplifting. I love the message in the song where she basically communicates that she will be strong and happy regardless of external circumstances. One of the high notes of the song is where she raises her voice methodically when she says "take me away" and I love how the vocals blend together in "I got a love that's mine" and the creative use of the ending lyrics "I know I'll be alright". This is definitely I song to listen to when you crave something that is energetic, upbeat, and will cheer you up. You can even listen to the song when you are already cheerful.

Natasha Bedingfield's "Pocketful of Sunshine" is pretty much standard,feel-good fare. It sounds like an opening theme for a TV show. One can imagine it playing in the background for a TV show such as ABC's "Private Practice", where Dr. Addison frolics on the Southern California beaches. "Pocketful of Sunshine" succeeds because it's only Natasha and a backup singer. It's not highly synthesized. There isn't any Sean Kingston doing pretentious rap. The chorus is the song's high point,when Natasha belts out "Take me away/to the sweet escape." Glorious escapist summer fun. If you can't afford going to the beach, this song is like sitting on the warm sand, listening to the waves.
Flashback: 90's Brit Pop April 9, 2008

Remember when Brit pop was the flavor of the month? Oasis, Spice Girls, all seemingly ruled the world. Well, now it's trying to make a comeback with Leona Lewis, and former HillSong singer and song-writer, little Natasha Bedingfield.
This time, she doesn't bring any phony rap artists, but rather, herself and a backup singer. The result is distinctively Brit Pop, but maybe a little more suited to today's audiences. The vocals are the same as always for Bedingfield. The music itself is typical modern music, take it or leave it, although my description is a bit vague. The song is minorly catchy, but pretty much standard Brit Pop stuff that is overly forgettable.
Overall, forgettable, Brit Pop, standard, maybe a bit boring. So if you like Bedingfield's other "work," you'll like this song. If you're a hit radio zombie, you'll also like it. For the rest of us, just pass. You're not missing anything.
