GRAMMY Award-nominated singer and songwriter Natasha Bedingfield returns with her new single ‘Dot Dot Dot,’ marking an exciting new chapter for the pop icon and her first new solo release in several years. Listen to ‘Dot Dot Dot’ HERE With ‘Dot Dot Dot,’Bedingfield turns the page toward what comes next.
“That song felt like a true story for both of us of what life in the music industry is like,” Bedingfield explains. “To be at an athlete friend’s house felt like parallels to being in the ring and being punched down and asking yourself ‘Why should I keep doing this?’ Then you just get back up and stay because human beings need art. We make art out of the hard stuff we go through. We alchemize it.”
‘Dot Dot Dot’ is an answer to ‘Unwritten’ from the other side of the spectrum, from uncertainty before you; to having seen it all, being knocked down and still finding perseverance. With alt pop synths and a drum loop under a simple guitar, it gives a catchy top line that you would hope for from Bedingfield but with heavier more lush undertones that drive the music forward and feel energetic.
That feeling comes after years of change for Bedingfield, both personally and professionally. She left the major-label system nearly a decade ago, became a mother and continued writing, recording and touring while her catalogue found new audiences around the world. Through it all, songwriting has remained at the center of her life.
While her songs keep going viral, she continues to go out on the road all the time doing festivals and headline shows and comes back to writing and producing whenever she can. She’s found social media to be a great way to connect with her still-expanding global audience. She’s been delighted by the many people-led uses of several of her hits, including frequent uses by athletes from teams including the basketball champions the New York Knicks and Burnley FC, as well Badger going viral with his remix, and DJs like Paris Hilton and The Chainsmokers spinning her music at massive shows.
