New Good Song: Between The Raindrops by Lifehouse f/ Natasha Bedingfield

Here's a new good song -- "Between The Raindrops" by Lifehouse f/ Natasha Bedingfield

Lifehouse and Natasha Bedingfield have the distinction of being wildly hit-and-miss with their singles. I personally think "First Time" by Lifehouse is an underrated masterpiece, but I find much of their work too bland. Jason Wade being hot helps. Ms. Bedingfield manages to, in a single song, waffle between being remarkable and grating, e.g., "Pocketful Of Sunshine," which is three totally different songs spliced together into one. One is amazing, one is OK, and one is horrendous.

So when one sees that this band and this woman have teamed up, one clicks to listen with a combination of hope and skepticism. Their duet turns out to be quite a nice song, the type I hope will be popular, even though I acknowledge it doesn't immediately impress as being stupendous. But it's owed a few repeated listens.

Enjoy!
