British singer/songwriter Natasha Bedingfield has admitted that her new album will not feature any auto-tuning.

The 28 year old ‘Unwritten’ singer has been in New Zealand writing what will be her fourth studio album called ‘Strip Me’, which is a title that aptly reflects her earthy approach to recording.

Bedingfield says of the album’s name:

“I don’t put auto-tune on it. I don’t like that. That’s why the album is called Strip Me because it is pop music, it is still anthemic, structured songs but I feel like I am stripping it back from all the layers and the gimmicks  - I’m doing it intentionally.”

‘Strip Me’ is set for release in the U.S on December 7 and details of its international availability will follow.
