MY SIX BEST ALBUMS

- NATASHA BEDINGFIEL­D GARRY BUSHELL

Natasha, 37, has had a string of hits including Single, Unwritten and TheseWords. Her new album, RollWith It, is out now. For tour dates, see natashabed­ingfield.com

BON IVER: Bon Iver

(4AD)

I listen to this album on repeat and it always puts me in a meditative state. I lived in Malibu and played it for the whole summer about five years ago. It’s really beautiful.

STEVIE WONDER: Songs In The Key Of Life

(Tamla)

The first album I ever had. I stole it from a library when I was a child and never took it back. It’s wonderful; he was at the peak of his powers. It’s full of great songs and positivity.

BILLIE EILISH: When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

(Interscope)

She made this album in her bedroom with her brother producing it. She was home-schooled and so was I. It sounds a bit like Tim Burton movie music but with rap. It’s incredible and a gamechangi­ng moment.

AL GREEN: Lay It Down

(Blue Note)

A friend of mine, Questlove, produced this so it’s Al Green, a legend, working with a much younger producer. It sounds contempora­ry but still feels true to his older classics.

MICHAEL JACKSON: Off The Wall

(Epic)

I wasn’t allowed to listen to the radio growing up so I didn’t hear Michael Jackson until I was 18 and when

I did hear him I was blown away.

I was inspired by his energy.You can’t stand still to this. Rock With You is my favourite.

ASGEIR: Afterglow

(Caroline Internatio­nal)

I listened to this album on repeat during the whole time I was in labour with my baby. It’s magical. Asgeir’s Icelandic and they don’t put musicians on pedestals there. There’s so much good music coming from Iceland.
