Natalie Imbruglia Artist Snapshot:

Australian pop singer Natalie Imbruglia started out as an actress, appearing on the TV show NEIGHBOURS (also the training ground for pop star Kylie Minogue), which took her on the well-trodden path into music. Instead of carefully crafted, studio-glossed dance-pop a la Kylie, she favored a more traditional pop-rock sound topped off with an angst-ridden edge that, even if it didn't quite match Alanis Morissette for alt-rock marketability, made for an effective alternative to many of her late-1990s peers.

Review

Entertainment Weekly (3/1/02, p.78) - "...Imbruglia knows something aobut formula....continues in the same vein of agreeable pop-radio fodder..." - Rating: B-
Mojo (Publisher) (12/01, p.116) - "...Natalie croons and sighs with all the clear-eyed moonfaced sweetness of Juliette Binoche baking cakes..."

This follow up to 1998's wildly successful LEFT OF THE MIDDLE is full of the pop hooks that propelled that album to the top of the UK and US charts; in addition the intervening few years seem to have left the Natalie Imbruglia with a somewhat more mature pop sensibility. Her voice is still reminiscent of Lisa Loeb or a less-unhinged Fiona Apple, but the Australian singer's previous eager-to-please quality is tempered by the world-weary narrative of tracks such as "Talk in Tongues" ("flowers in the bin/close this hole I'm in") that undercut the sunny textures of songs like the Joni-flavored "Satellite."

Generally Imbruglia is at her best when she's least produced; her voice has more than enough commercial appeal without the assistance of tricky arrangements. Though some of WHITE LILIES ISLAND comes perilously close to falling into PJ Harvey-lite territory, the aforementioned brooding "Talking in Tongues," "Butterflies," and the powerful, anthemic, string-accompanied "Come September" point to a growing confidence in the singer that bodes well for the future.
