In trying to please all these people, I found Natalie Imbruglia in a place where I did n’t feel like Natalie Imbruglia. I got fed up because all I wanted was an audience and to stand in front of a mic and sing, i did n’t feel inspired, I was frustrated so I stopped. It was the best thing I could have done.

Natalie Imbruglia

Natalie Jane Imbruglia is a British-Australian singer-songwriter, model and actress. In the early 1990s, she played Beth Brennan in the Australian soap opera Neighbours. Three years after leaving the programme, she began a singing career, with the cover and hit "Torn". Her subsequent album, Left of the Middle, sold 7 million copies worldwide. Further releases, White Lilies Island and Counting Down the Days, did not sell as well, although the latter became number one in the UK. In 2007 she made Glorious: The Singles 97–07, a hits compilation featuring the single "Glorious", which peaked at 23 in the UK singles chart. Since 1997 Imbruglia has sold 10 million album copies. She co-starred in the 2003 film Johnny English and was leading actress in the 2009 film Closed for Winter. On 3 December 2014, Imbruglia announced plans to release a newly recorded album of songs originally performed by male artists. The album, Male, her first since 2009's Come To Life, was released in July 2015, and will be followed by an album of original material.
