Natasha Bedingfieldis about to drop her first album in more than eight years, but don’t expect the same girl who sang“Unwritten”in the 2000s.
She welcomed sonSolomon Dylanin December 2017 with her husband Matt Robinson, and has since embraced the changes that motherhood brings.
“I like that it gives me a different kind of authority. I feel like I’m a bit more ballsy and I can just be kind of ‘mothery,’ which I think is a part of my personality I wasn’t really connected with. Before, I was always thinking, ‘Oh, I’m just a little girl.’ ”

The biggest change in Bedingfield, though, is a newfound feeling of playfulness. She laughs that ever since having Solomon, she feels “like a kid again.”
The pop star has even taken up rollerblading, which she explains to PEOPLE that she used to do with her brother,Daniel Bedingfield, when they were growing up in London.
“It was a freeing thing for us because our family didn’t have much money, so it was our way of getting out and doing stuff,” she says. “Me and Danielwould just roller skate everywhere, and I was always trying to catch up with him.”
