Natasha Bedingfield released her third studio album Strip Me on December 12.2010. To celebrate the release, The Dirty Tees remixed her very first single off the new album entitled Touch and sent it to us last week. It’s a great remix that brings in electronic elements the original was missing.

Based in Book St., London, Bedingfield debuted in the 1990s as a member of the Christian dance/electronic group The DNA Algorithm with her siblings Daniel Bedingfield and Nikola Rachelle. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Bedingfield recorded rock and gospel songs for the Hillsong London Church, while Daniel went on to enjoy success with hits Gotta Get Thru This and If You’re Not The One.
Bedingfield released her first album, Unwritten, in 2004. The album contained primarily uptempo pop songs and was influenced by R&B music; it enjoyed international success with over 2.3 million copies sold worldwide and she received a Grammy Award nomination for “Best Female Pop Vocal Performance” for the title track Unwritten. Bedingfield’s second album, N.B. (2007), was less successful but yielded the UK top 10 singles I Wanna Have Your Babies and Soulmate.
Most of her accomplishments lie within the realm of Pop but The Dirty Tees help bring that familiar electronica vibe back to her repertoire all while spicing things up a bit.
