Peter Andre 'Natural'

Chart Peak: 6

YouTube
'Natural' shot stright into the UK chart at No. 6 on 2nd March '97... it followed the No.1 smash 'I Feel You' and became Peter's 4th big UK smash in just 9 months.

If he's no easier to take seriously than Mark Morrison, Andre is certainly more likeable; he seems to have better relationships with his hometown too, having been in Harrow only recently to assist a local charity. 14 years down the line, the title track of his first album is unlikely to be mistaken for a good record but neither is it as insultingly bad as Mark Morrison's effort.

It's watered-down makeweight RnB which clearly exists as an excuse to make a video of him with his shirt open; they even do the classic boyband shot where they get blown by the wind in loose white shirts, though I'm not sure who the other three guys are supposed to be. At least his attempts at seduction are a bit more consensual than Morrison's and the song has a sort of OK bassline.
