Description:

Pocketful of Sunshine is the second North American and third European album by English pop singer Natasha Bedingfield. It was released by Epic Records on January 22, 2008 and received mixed reviews. The album includes new songs as well as tracks from her second European album N.B., which was never released in the United States, but released in the United Kingdom on April 30, 2007. Pocketful of Sunshine was a top three album in the United States, and both its lead single "Love like This", featuring Sean Kingston and second single "Pocketful of Sunshine" were top twenty hits, with the latter being a top five hit.

The album featured collaborations with Jamaican American reggae artist Sean Kingston and Maroon 5's lead singer Adam Levine, and was influenced by hip hop music, electronic music, and reggae.Most of the songs focus on love and relationships, as opposed to her debut album Unwritten, which dealt with independence and opportunism

Pocketful of Sunshine received mostly positive reviews from pop music critics. Kerri Mason, Billboard reviewer, gave the album positive response. Mason wrote ,"The album has an undeniable flip-flop feel throughout; like the unplugged soul-chick hoedown Beyoncé tried to conjure at the end of the "Irreplaceable" video." Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone wrote that "Bedingfield doesn't have much to say", but commented that "the packaging in which she wraps her openhearted thoughts makes Sunshine a decent little pop record". Bill Lamb of About.com noted that "unfortunately, her second solo album, massively reworked from her corresponding second album in the UK, is simply another professional, corporately polished pop record. Songs and vocals are reasonably solid..." but, he added, "it's hard to hear inspiration."

Despite the positive responses, the album received some criticism as well. Los Angeles Times was disappointed that "I Wanna Have Your Babies" was not included on Pocketful of Sunshine and wrote that "as awkward as the song is, it fleshes out Bedingfield's vision better than Jerkins' Mary J. Blige "Angel" or Rotem's Fergalicious "Piece of Your Heart". The album ending up receiving 2.5 stars out of 4. Allmusic gave the album a mixed review and described it as "awkwardly assembled", and added that it "feels inorganic in a way that Unwritten did not, less personal and more vetted by various A&R executives". Glenn Gambo in a review for Newsday gave the album C+ rating, and wrote that the album "barely registers" and was "full of pale copies of other successful pop [songs] that don't necessarily work for Bedingfield".

Pocketful of Sunshine debuted on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States at number three, selling 49,000 copies. The first week sales surpassed her debut album, Unwritten, which sold 34,000 copies its first week of release. The album has become the third highest debut by a United Kingdom-signed female artist in Billboard history, after Joss Stone, who entered at number two and now Leona Lewis, after her debut at number one. The album, however, quickly fell down the chart. After performing on American Idol, sales of the album and single "Pocketful of Sunshine" increased considerably. The album jumped from number ninety-seven to number twenty-four on the Billboard 200, while the single charted within the top ten on the Billboard charts. It has sold 416,000 copies in the U.S. up to September 2008. In Canada, the album debuted at number thirteen.
