Strip Me

"[10] On the album, she worked with Andreas Kleerup, John Hill, Wyclef Jean, Salaam Remi, Ryan Tedder, Jonas Myrin, Eg White, and Sia.

[7] Additionally, Idolator revealed that Bedingfield had recorded a Ne-Yo-assisted duet titled "The Little Things", which was produced by StarGate, though it was not included on the final album either.

[12] Bedingfield told fans in December 2010, via a recorded video message, that the album could be released elsewhere in the world later but for the near present she was focusing on America.

[13] Bedingfield's label, Epic Records, outlined plans for her to tour in the second half of 2010, in support of the album.

[14] However, in September 2010, Billboard revealed that Bedingfield's tour plans were moved back into 2011 though no dates were confirmed.

[15][16] The album track "Can't Fall Down" was exclusively streamed via Billboard's official website on 3 December 2010.

[18] She was also announced on the line-up for Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve concert hosted by Ryan Seacrest.

[20] In January 2011, Bedingfield was invited to the head offices of Rolling Stone magazine, where she performed "Pocketful of Sunshine", "Soulmate" and "Strip Me".

[22] The deluxe version of Strip Me subsequently included several audio and video recordings from the Less is More Tour dates.

[32] Mikael Wood of Entertainment Weekly gave Strip Me a C rating and wrote that it "plays like one long, increasingly desperate pep talk.

"[33] The AllMusic editor, Stephen Thomas Erlewine, noted the album for "retaining [the] same blend of well-manicured R&B and European sophistication" of Bedingfield's first album and commented that she "plays it exceptionally safe, to the extent that she even tones down the self-empowerment of her first two records, preferring pristine blue-eyed soul and adult contemporary ballads, all tailored for an aspirational upscale lifestyle".

[3] Slant Magazine's Jonathon Keefe found it "single-minded in its uplifting, inspirational tone", writing in conclusion that "Bedingfield uses her powerful voice to oversing most of her material, making Strip Me feel like even more of a sermon.
