Riding on the cash cow that is The Sims 2, EA today announced the international lineup of artists who can be heard in The Sims 2 Freetime soundtrack. Music for the upcoming expansion pack, which lets players participate in new activities, hobbies and careers, includes a single from Natasha Bedingfield album. “Pocketful of Sunshine” has been recorded in the unique language of Simlish, the language of the in-game Sims.

“It was such a fun and delightful challenge to learn how to sing in Simlish,” Natasha Bedingfield added. “The language of The Sims captures a wonderful sense of beauty, creativity and humor, so my song ‘Pocketful of Sunshine’ translated well!”
