I absolutely love when bands/singers/groups/etc. that were popular in the 90's-early 00's make new albums years later (like now) that are just so incredibly fucking amazing that it makes me question a.) where the hell they've been, b.) why the hell the music they created years ago wasn't more like their new stuff, and/or c.) if they HAD been culturally relevant whether or not this amazing new ear candy would still be as wonderful.
Case in point: Natalie Imbruglia's "Come to Life."
Where the HELL did this album come from? Imbruglia, who's only real "hit" in the United States was "Torn" (love that song) seemingly fell off the radar when the afterglow of the song left radio play.
And eleven years later, this totally incredible album comes out.
My eardrums get so happy just listening to this new music because it's just different from everything else out there.
Now I know Imbruglia's had other albums out since "Left of Middle," but they haven't hit it big here (I'll probably try to find them anyway...just to check them out)...so if it took an eleven year lapse in my life only to be treated with this new music...I'm for it.
I haven't been this excite about one of these "revival" artists since All Saint's "Studio 1" -- which I still maintain is their best album to date. Love that CD.
What a nice surprise for a totally mundane day.
