Imbruglia promises "fun" new album

Natalie Imbruglia has promised that her new record will be "light-hearted" and "fun".

The singer revealed that fans can expect a change in music style on her fourth studio album, which will be released later this year.

"I just wanna have fun. That was my main brief," Natalie told the Daily Star. "No introspection, let's not over-think this, I wanted the music to feel up and summery. Just fun."

Imbruglia worked on the album with music producer Ben Hillier, who has previously collaborated with Depeche Mode and Blur.

"This record I wanted to be more light-hearted. It reflects how I'm feeling now. Ben totally felt that," she continued. "I've chilled out a lot. Maybe it's just my age. I don't take it all as seriously as I used to and I don't feel I have to prove myself any more."

Natalie recently announced that she had split from Silverchair singer Daniel Johns.
