Natalie Imbruglia - Algorithm (Album #7)

Eddie said:
Just checked to see where it ranked according to her discography and initially thought it might be her lowest charting record until I noticed her album Come To Life never charted at all! What happened there?

It was released in Australia only after the massive flop of Want :(
 
It was all very sad. Natalie's referenced a few times recently that the TRAUMA of Come To Life being cancelled is why she became a hermit until the Masked Singer.
 
She's played two great acoustic performances of Torn and Upside Down on Chris Evans TFI Friday on youtube. Alot of people reacting positively and warmly to her. But always feel Chris Evans always gets her on to take the piss. She rebuffed his advances in the 90's before he dated Billie Piper so there is something underlying between them.
 
Ah nice she went to Westfield! I went there ages ago, if I was some fresher in London obviously I'd have tried to go.


Also a few days ago Upside Down was pleasantly in my head 🤗 like Nat said it's got some depth to it if you listen to the lyrics. 💛🎶

I would love to one day get a selfie with her. She seems incredibly open and pleasant and very good at selfies. She's always beaming while taking photos with the fans. What a beautiful smile she has. Probably makes for a particularly good 'look who I met' boast on social media 😆

Indeed ♡ haha yes it would :grin: then again I doubt the average social media user would recognise her besides being the one who sang Torn. 😅

True. Probably depends on age. Most people in their 40's or above will know exactly who she is. Instantly recognisable to those generations I would say (even if it is just through Torn). Most people I know who are my age remember her from Neighbours and the girl we all (girls and boys) crushed on at school and also for her early pop career late 90's -mid 2000's. She went global. She was big when it mattered and you had to be massive to sell millions of physical copies of albums with people parting with hard cash.

Sorry that sounded like an old man rant 🤭
 
Haha no worries :D
Oh yeah Neighbours of course, maybe Johnny English for roughly under 40s is the first acting thing of her that comes to mind of hers. But music-wise her Left of the Middle era was definitely big ♡🎶
 
I bought both Natalie's new album and Firebird recently and prefer Firebird. I found it to be a more interesting album. Her new album is a bit on the boring and bland side but I still really like Upside Down.
 
Nat and her fancy parties :laugh: nice she's hanging out with Carol Vorderman, and Davina there too. 😊

I just listened to Debbie (will listen to the rest with the CD) and for some reason I can see it as an 80s song; interesting opening track to what is seeming like an awesome album 💛

Randomly a couple of days ago I had the "Debbie don't look back, your time is coming" bit in my head, and decided to listen to the song yesterday and today. 🤩



Be the light again...♡
Debbie should've been the 2nd single instead of Algorithm..! About the 80s song thing, Nat also mentioned somewhere that she was trying to be like Annie Lennox haha. I like her almost cartoonish Aussie accent for "it's amazing, what a mind" :D
 
Oh wait Nat, Kylie, and Sinéad did do this though :disco: :grin:


There was another more casual interview but here's one

Natalie Imbruglia Makes Kingston’s Circuit Her Own At Intimate ‘Algorithm’ Launch | Rockshot Magazine

There is something wonderfully disarming about seeing Natalie Imbruglia on a stage this small. At The Circuit in Kingston, the singer-songwriter is close enough to her audience to make eye contact with people in the front row, close enough to laugh with them and, crucially, close enough for the...

Natalie Imbruglia and Annie Lennox is probably akin to Enya and Elaine Paige (both instances in 2008) :laugh:
