Natasha Bedingfield’s latest single is called “Touch” and it is a dizzying at times lyrical journey down a rabbit hole of happenchance, coincidence, and fate. Upon first listen of this song, one’s inclination is to go “uhh, what?” but if you listen to the lyrics after a minute and then hit rewind and listen AGAIN, you will get it. And you have that that “a-ha!” moment when you realize that A) the song is pretty cool, B) it’s different but it works C) Natasha really has an amazing voice, and D) wow, that lyric required some work.

And honestly, things that require work to create are the ones that reflect the most creativity and evoke the most powerful sensations, in my opinion. I particularly like this song because Natasha’s vocal is REALLY clear and pristine. She’s such a powerful yet controlled singer, and I enjoy it. I wonder how “Touch” will fare on the charts and radio, but overall, I think it’s a doozy of a song. It’s great in that it challenges you to really pay attention while you also simultaneously enjoy the melody. Keeps you interested! Good music will do that.

She basically is saying nothing just happens and everything happens for a reason in the span of a 3 minutes pop song, but it’s still how it all ties together (in life and in the song) that make this kind of dope!
