Roll With Me

Released in 2019, Roll With Me marked Natasha Bedingfield's first full-length studio album in nearly a decade. Produced entirely by the legendary Linda Perry, the project represents a significant sonic pivot toward a more organic, live-instrumentation-based sound. Recorded at Perry's studio, the album eschews the electronic minimalism of the late 2010s in favor of a '70s-inspired soul and funk palette, heavily featuring live drums and analog synths. Critics, including those at AllMusic, noted the chemistry between Bedingfield's versatile vocals and Perry's gritty production style, highlighting it as a sophisticated comeback. The album also includes several acoustic versions of its key tracks, emphasizing the strength of the songwriting beneath the rhythmic arrangements. While it didn't reach the commercial heights of her debut, it solidified her reputation as a formidable soul-pop vocalist capable of navigating complex, groove-oriented material.
