Just the re-issue cover.

That's a shame, though I do love this Rankin shot too.
 
With all the excitement of a new Natalie era, I've revisited an old playlist I created to cover her back catalogue, putting a thread through all the era's, divided into 3 sections, and I can't get enough. I know there are lots of great tracks left off (what was I thinking not including Come September?), but I wanted to keep it tight.

That Day
Wrong Impression (Radio Mix)
Beauty On the Fire (Radio Mix)

he/him
She's doing an Insta live right now and mama still looks incredible. Italian genes, what can I say.

She was so cute. I loved that she couldn't figure out how to close it out.

Sounds like the album will be varied! She mentioned big pop tracks, tear jerking ballads, underwater vocals. It's 14 songs, but she said there were 5-6 that didn't fit the "story" of the album that we'll eventually get to hear.

I'm so excited. I can't wait to hear more of it already.

Eviscerate me Queen.
 
I think it does in fact sound like a Natalie Imbruglia song, or is that only me??
— sure, visually and going by the piano in the song, she must have followed the music scene & what had been going on... since Adele? but who can blame her, her footprints are still all over this including a more current approach. Well done. Can't say this sounds dated either. If she had released a copy of 'Shiver', the new generation might not have dug this, and she now needs those people just as well

This is actually addictive as fuck. It's so light and the way it subtly layers and builds is really gorgeous. The vocals cascading in the bridge, the choir and adlibs over the last chorus, the way she raises the melody on the final "these lonely nights" - It really does give off triumphant opener vibes.
