Glorious The Singles 97-07 Natalie Imbruglia (CD)

Ten years after her debut Left Of The Middle achieved worldwide acclaim, Natalie Imbruglia has released her 'best of' collection, Glorious: The Singles 97-07, featuring nine hits and five new tracks.

With 10 million records sold, Imbruglia is one of the most well-known female singers of the past decade. While some critics have predicted the actress-turned-singer's fame would fade, Imbruglia has proved them wrong by producing more hits, including Big Mistake, Smoke and Shiver.

This compilation is a celebration of her 10 years in the music business. The five new songs may pale in comparison to the well-known hits, but they will be welcome treats for her fans.

The album kicks off with Glorious, one of two songs penned by the singer. The catchy chorus, upbeat guitars and beautiful vocals are typically Imbruglia and will have you singing along.

Second effort Be With You is a delightful combination of thumping baseline and piano. Amelia and Against The Wall fall flat but Stuck On The Moon is a perfect way to end the album: the strong electronic beats will stay in your head well after the track has finished.

If you like pop and soft rock, this release deserves attention.
