British pop star Natasha Bedingfield is no stranger to the entertainment scene as she's been cited as one of music's hottest singer/songwriters with a vocal range that covers dance music, pop and soul. Her current hit, Unwritten, taken from her latest album, Pocketful of Sunshine is now heard on several commercials and her second song from the same album, Love Like This, has already hit the top 20 in the UK.

Bedingfield's career also spans the video game world as well as she produced a remade version of her Pocketful of Sunshine song for The Sims 2 in Simlish, the gibberish-like language of the in-game characters. And as a high point in any entertainer's lifespan, she played a Bond girl in EA's From Russia With Love. Now, she's the spokesperson for EA's Boogie SuperStar, a game targeted at girls who create their own celebrities as they sing and dance their way to fame.

On the start of her U.S. tour with The New Kids on the Block and still elated after getting engaged earlier this month, GameDaily had a chance to talk to Bedingfield about her role in the game and her recent successes.

Do you play games on your own?

I do. I have a Wii and I love that it's getting people more active because that's only thing about video games is that you can end up sitting on your butt all day. So I like that it gets people up and about. I've played. I'm not as good as my brother (Daniel Bedingfield) but I have played games in the past, things like Pac-man and stuff. I actually met my fiance in a video arcade. Our first date was in a video arcade.

You have a gaming history with EA with From Russia With Love, The Sims 2... what types of other things might you like to do in games?

I mean, it's pretty great to have been a Bond girl in a video game, isn't it? I just love that the world of video games can connect with my world, the music world. I love that there's a game like this that wraps the two together. It's something that's very easy for me to be involved with because it's a about what it's like to be in my position, where you're singing and dancing. The whole point is to give girls a chance to feel what it's like as you work at it and get better and compete against other people.

Since you get to be the face of the game and there are 40 tracks including your own... what can you tell me about those songs in the game?

Three of my own and there are several different styles and different dances that corresponds to those styles. So if you're going to play something that's more hip-hoppy, then it's hip-hop moves like to the Missy Ellliiot song. And there's Leona Lewis and Rihanna, a whole bunch of stuff that's brand new and on the charts at the moment.

Given that this game is targeted to girls and teenager girls in particular, what words would you give to them as a positive role model?

Music is all about expressing yourself and having fun. People sometimes tend to focus on just becoming famous and they think that's the only benefit or that's the only thing they want, but I think music in itself and dancing and singing, is such a good release and it's worth doing just for your life like any art is.

Did you have any female role models growing up?

I really loved Delores from the Cranberries, and Bjork, and I did mention Missy [Elliot] I really do think she's amazing.

During your tour and promotion, will there be opportunities for fans to compete against you in real life?

I'm doing some concerts, a few gigs, and I'll probably be playing it. In London there's the London Games Festival and I'm performing there and I'm sure they'll be a facility for the public to play and play Boogie and other games and I'll be there with everyone else.

You have a pretty amazing range, is there one genre you'd love to try to master some day?

NB: I'd love to be able to do opera one day. I think that's the great thing about music is there's also room for improvement or learning something

In your first album, you're quite happy to be a single person as you had your declaration of independence in the song 'Single.' With Pocketful of Sunshine, it felt like you were searching yourself and asking questions about finding a soul mate or if you want to have babies. Now your engaged so what should fans expect from your next album?

It's interesting, isn't it? I obviously like to be very personal in my songs. The ones that have done the best are often the ones I really feel strongly about, like Unwritten or These Words, and Soul Mate I haven't released in the states yet. It's kind of an honest question, where I wrote a song called Single which is all about the joys of being single, soul mate is the other side to that where even if you enjoy the state you're at in your life, everyone has that longing a some time to have that person who understands them. Some songs have been more personal than others. [Wanna Have Your] Babies was not really that much of a more personal song, it was more of a bit of fun. A kind of comical look at what goes on inside your brain. A bit like having Tourette's, like what happens if everything you were thinking comes out of your mouth and what would get you in trouble?

With Unwritten being on TV shows and on commercials, are you getting sick of hearing it?

I never feel bad about hearing my song on advertising; it just takes me back to when I first wrote it, I was in that room and writing it. It's crazy how one moment in your life can follow you around in a good way.

So what do you think it will be like touring with the New Kids on the Block.

We're traveling up to Toronto today, there's a rehearsal day and then the tour starts tomorrow. It's all in anticipation right now, the tour is sold out and I'm really looking forward to seeing how New Kids are going to be. I heard their fans are really passionate and dedicated, although very determined to have a fun night.

I hope that Mark Wahlburg comes along to see his brother because Matt, my fiancé, which feels very lovely to say, we love watching Entourage so I think that it's going to be cool to hang out with his brother.

You're one of the few singers who really embraces fans by talking to them over your official site and, in one event, showing up on their YouTube video. Did you plan on doing all this stuff?

Thank you. It's a great tool, the Internet, because it's a great way to connect with fans instantly. So many people have been so supportive and I like to find new ways to show what it's like on the road and take a little camera around with me and put blogs up. When I did the Verizon tour, we had a lot of fun. We had a green screen at my gigs and you could have a chance to dance in my videos right there. There's so many ways for people to make people feel involved. I like things where people don't just spectate; they can participate and be a part of it.

Does that makes them stronger fans?

I think it's more active. Less like a voyeur and just watching and I feel like it's like the message of Unwritten, all about stepping in and being involved and you're the one holding the pen to your own life story. It's better to be living your life than just watching someone else live theirs.
