Come to Life will be the fourth studio album by Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia and will be her first on her own label, Malabar Records.
The album is set for a UK release in 2009 with first single/radio release in July '09.
Production & Release
The album has taken nearly four years to complete, with Imbruglia acknowledging to a journalist recently "I get frustrated because I’d like to produce more work...It’s something that bugs me about myself, but I don’t really know any other way. And I’m not motivated by money, so I need to get things done right."[1]
The album includes collaborations with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin who has worked with Imbruglia on a "string of tracks".[2][3] Her former husband and Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns has also produced one track for the album. Johns formerly produced Counting Down the Days, the title track of Imbruglia's third album.[4]
In April 2009 she discussed the direction of the album with an Australian journalist "I feel the same creative buzz I felt when I first started my career...It's just fun and artistic and creative and all the things it should be. There's still a lot of depth to the songs...It just sounds fresher to me. I've tried different things - there's more electronic stuff in there, and that's different for me, more dance beats. There's a freedom overall, and a sense of confidence. It's slightly less introspective ..."[4]
It has been confirmed that Come to Life will receive a US release as well.
Tracks rumoured to be part of the album include "Fun", "Lukas", and "Want", which were mixed by Michael Brauer.[5] The music video for the first single (title still to be announced) will be filmed in London on July 23, 2009.[6]
In July 2009, the album will be released via Island Records outside of Australasia[7].
