I am listening to Natalie Imbruglia at the moment. Ever since I bought a second hand copy of her debut album Left of the middle for £1.49 at a charity shop I have been a big fan. I had heard of her song 'Torn' before but didn't realise how underrated an artist she really is. For those of you who have not heard of her, she is a 90s pop singer from Australia who has had considerate success around the world with her debut back in 1997. Her music to me defines the 90s. Her songs are very 'easy listening' and have a sad happiness about them. They are very uplifting but melancholic at the same time. I guess she appeals to the same audience as Adele does today. Her songs are less intense but still follow the theme of the ups and downs of relationships.
I got this album over a year ago to help me through a tough time and it helped me so much. I used to listen to this in the mornings on my bus journey to work. I would sit looking out of the window in the early morning darkness and feel so down about life and my future and this album would make me feel something. Even if it didn't make me feel better it helped me feel something instead of frustrated all the time. It was nice to know that I wasn't the only person to feel like this. Now I find her music relaxing. My favourite of her tracks are 'Torn', 'Shiver', 'Smoke,' 'Wishing I was there', 'Big mistake' and 'One more addiction.'
