Daniel Bedingfield Experiences “Deliciously Bad Feeling” Writing ‘Secret Fear’

Daniel Bedingfield 2012

TheDishmaster.com spoke with Daniel Bedingfield in a Q&A, asking the pop singer about where he’s been for the last eight years, his ‘Stop The Traffik - Secret Fear’ EP, how it feels to finally be independent and off the label, how all of his songs are true, not liking to play music for his family of musicians, interacting with fans on Twitter, and baring all in his ‘Rocks Off’ music video.

“The beginning of that song is so shocking, what it says,” Bedingfield said about the track ‘Secret Fear’. “I’m so frightened that any woman that I date will hear the lyrics and think I won’t be happy with her. It was a deliciously bad feeling writing that. I knew I could be fu**ing my life hard-core. I was getting-off on the danger. Imagine you’re lying in bed as my wife and thinking of those lyrics.”

Daniel Bedingfield Fumes About O2 On Twitter & Gets A Response

Daniel Bedingfield turned to his Twitter followers (@DanielBedingfld) to become a consumer activist, angry with UK mobile phone provider O2. The 31-year-old singer writes:

I don’t think that I have ever come across a company as bad as @o2 Never been exposed to such VINDICTIVE customer service in my life.

Seriously. Bought unlocked iPhone 4 from @o2 and took it to the US. I Didn’t work.

So I can’t use my UNLOCKED iPhone 4 from @o2 because they can’t (or refuse) to unlock it unless I catch a plane back to the UK to do it.

The move resulted in a response from O2’s Twitter (@O2):

@DanielBedingfld Sorry to hear you had a problem - what’s gone wrong?

Daniel Bedingfield ‘One Hit Wonder’

Daniel Bedingfield has penned a self deprecating song ‘One Hit Wonder’, performing it as part of a series of 12 reggae-ish songs he will be recording in this manner. The ‘Gotta Get thru This’ singer wrote them all in 2-3 hours on a brisk jog in Malibu Creek Canyon.

“By ‘written’ I mean sketched,” Bedingfield writes. “I wrote the beat/bassline, the melody and the hook. I wanted to preserve the creative frenzy they were written and sketched in. So I’m recording them in the order they were written, while not finishing the writing till just before the moment of recording. In real-world spaces. With great new directors and no budget.”
