Coldplay / Imbruglia Project

Chris Martin & Co. to help pop singer

Globe trotting indie giants Coldplay are set to contribute three songs to the forthcoming album by Natalie Imbruglia.

Coming to fame as an actress in Neighbours, Natalie Imbruglia quickly began to move into the music industry. Due to the show’s popularity in the UK the singer was soon able to conquer the British charts.

Thanks to the success of singles such as ‘Torn’ the star’s debut album was a massive success, but since then Imbruglia has taken time off. Returning last year, the singer began working on a new album when she received a call from Chris Martin.

The Coldplay frontman had heard her material and, after meeting her, proposed that the two should swap ideas. Working on a number of songs together it seems that these sessions will now see the light of day.

Natalie Imbruglia’s new album is titled ‘Come To Life’ and is due to be released on October 5th. The record is set to be preceded by the single ‘Want’ which was co-written with Coldplay.

In addition to the lead single Coldplay also helped write two further songs on the album – ‘Lukas’ and ‘Fun’. As well as this Imbruglia shares the group’s producer with legendary soundsmith Brian Eno taking charge of recording sessions for the song ‘Lukas’.

All other songs on the album were produced by Ben Hillier, who has worked with Elbow and reformed Britpop stars Blur.

Coldplay are set to begin work on their new album later this year. The group have vowed to create an experimental return, with drummer Will Champion demoing new material with an array of electronic instruments.

Natalie Imbruglia has announced a show at London’s Luminaire venue for August 12th. Sadly for fans, it has already sold out.

Natalie Imbruglia will release her new album ‘Come To Life’ on October 5th. Tracklisting is as follows:

‘My God’
‘Lukas’
‘Fun’
‘Twenty’
‘Scars’
‘Want’
‘WYUT’
‘Cameo’
‘All The Roses’
‘Wild About It’
