New Zealand-born British singer/songwriter Daniel Bedingfield dropped his brand new EP, Stop The Traffik: Secret Fear, today. The EP is available in two versions including an iTunes Exclusive 7-track version and a 5-track version which you can download for free using the widget below.
To help promote the album, drive awareness and raise money for Stop The Traffik, a coalition against modern day slavery, Bedingfield teamed up with Pledge Music, where he auctioned off a variety of enticing prizes to fans, including a date night, a sky diving trip, a game of strip poker with Daniel and his friends and more.
Daniel Bedingfield first came to the world’s attention back in 2001 when his immensely popular breakout single “Gotta Get Thru This” blew up. Bedingfield continued on an upward trajectory with follow up singles, “If You’re Not The One” and “Never Gonna Leave Your Side,” and his eventual sophomore album, Second First Impression. While Daniel had worked on a follow up to his 2004 sophomore effort, issues at the label prevented them from ever seeing the light of day. Now completely emancipated and 100% independent, Daniel Bedingfield is back and ready to dazzle audiences with his trademark gruff & gritty pop/rock vocals and introspective lyrics.
Stop The Traffik: Secret Fear is the first in a series of EPs due out this year, all of which will showcase Daniel’s talent, offering listeners a look into the real ‘Daniel Bedingfield.’ From the bio,
“[the EPs] will challenge the listener’s perception of just who Daniel Bedingfield really is” presenting “an eclectic mix of rock, dance and soul tracks that showcase the many genres and styles that influence his creative impulses.” Check out the track listings and watch the NSFW “Rocks Off” video BELOW. I don’t know about you, but I’m more than ready for some new Daniel Bedingfield music! It’s been far too long.
