natasha bedingfield has finally unveiled the lead single from her sophomore effort, n.b.
“i wanna have your babies” is an upbeat, infectious pop song that should prove to be another global hit for the british songbird. you can stream the track and watch a teaser of the forthcoming video over at her myspace page.
i like the song, i really do. but when i listened closely to the lyrics, i must admit i was a little creeped out. i suppose, as a gay man, it doesn’t affect me really, but for the sake of her potential suitors, let’s examine the chorus.
“gonna button my lips so the truth don’t slip / gotta beep out what i really wanna shout / whoops, did i say it out loud, did you find out / i wanna have your babies, get serious like crazy / i wanna have your babies, i see them springing up like daisies”
let’s assume natasha has just met this guy, since she starts acting like glenn close in fatal attraction during the bridge…
“trust me it would scare you if you knew what was going on in my brain / trust me it would scare you that i picked out the church all the schools all the names / if you knew it was all about you / every wish every candle every coin in the fountain”
yikes! it is nice that she has given full disclosure here, but when women talk like this it’s like sex & the city never happened!!
on a more positive note, i do quite like the album cover. very annie lennox.
