In times of darkness, we turn to artists. Natasha Bedingfield has always delivered encouraging and upbeat tunes like “Unwritten” and “Pocketful of Sunshine.” Now, in the midst of the ongoing pandemic, the singer-songwriter released “Together In This” with her longtime friend and collaborator, Jonas Myrin, for Jungle Beat: The Movie.
“It’s really a reminder of how connected we are and how one person’s life affects everyone else’s,” Natasha explained in an EXCLUSIVE interview with HollywoodLife.com. “We are together in this moment, while we are literally alone. But also in our aloneness, we’re together. It is really important to connect with other people at this time, and not to just be isolated.”
Making the song, which was recorded at home with Jonas writing, recording and cutting it in just a quick three days, Natasha says was actually a very “relaxed experience.” “It was very lovely to record from home,” she admitted.
The English singer’s two-year-old son, Solomon Dylan Robinson, has been a major focal point of her entire quarantine, but also, she revealed that she’s been doing a lot of “work” on herself in these last few months. “Usually at this time of year I’m touring and am never home, so it’s been nice to be home to be honest and kind of work on myself,” Natasha said. “I’m letting my ideas and my heart be open and I’m just going with a flow and go into this very day-to-day.”
She added that talking to others and connecting with friends, new and old, “reminds me that it’s not just me going through these things and I hope that everyone reading this will feel not alone and will feel energized in some way and not hopeless.”
