Natalie Imbruglia has announced a new album.
The two-time BRIT Award-winner and three-time Grammy-nominated pop artist will drop ‘Algorithm’ on September 4, marking her first full-length release in five years.
Launching a new era focused on feeling stronger, more free, and creatively satisfied, the deeply personal project was co-produced and co-written with a team of collaborators including MyRiot (London Grammar), David Sneddon (Lana Del Rey, Hurts), Fraser T Smith (Adele, Dave, Stormzy, Sam Smith), Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody, Anu Pillai (Lewis Capaldi, Declan J Donovan), Tobie Tripp (George Ezra), Mark Crew (Bastille, James Arthur) and Dan Priddy (Rag'n'Bone Man, Bastille). Imbruglia said:
"On this record I chose to work with collaborators who also co-produce so from start to finish we were all so invested in every song. I really hope that people get as much joy from listening to this record as we did making it. And that they dance their arses off.
"This was by far the most fun I’ve ever had making a record. It also happened to coincide with the most challenging time I’ve had with my mental health. This is the beauty of music and artistic expression. You can take something dark and turn it into light."
Alongside the announcement, the Australian-British star has shared the album's lead single, Upside Down, a bright, upbeat pop offering. On the song, she explained: "The inability to control my emotions, wrestling with fight or flight mode, was awful, and I was reaching this critical point with it. In a way, the song is about how sheer willpower – trying to force your way out of something – doesn’t always work. You need tools, support. So that’s where the song was born from, that fight to maintain a semblance of what some might consider normality."
Ahead of the album's release, Imbruglia will perform at several festivals this spring and summer, including In It Together Festival in Margam, Wales, next month and Lazydays in Southend-On-Sea in July, along with shows in Spain, Sweden and Mexico.
