Words by Emily Shapiro—

New Zealand native Daniel Bedingfield first made a name for himself in the UK garage scene a decade ago with three UK No. 1 singles and a hit 2002 album, Gotta Get Thru This. The brother of pop sensation Natasha Bedingfield has been relatively quiet since then but it appears that during his hiatus, Bedingfield spent time writing music and collaborating with artists in Jamaica like Tessanne Chin and Busy Signal. He developed a relationship with VP Records and, apparently, a taste for creating some dancehall-like music of his own.
