As a teenager, Bedingfield and her siblings, Daniel and Nikola, formed the short-lived Christian dance/electronic pop group, The DNA Algorithm, which performed at several Christian music festivals before disbanding.

Oh, goodie! One of my favorite artists just announced a new album, set for release in October! Jon McLaughlin’s piano-driven pop rock debut Indiana is one of my favorite albums, and he’s back this fall with OK Now.
