About
Native Australian turned U.K. pop star, Natalie Imbruglia captured the gushy hearts of millions in 1998 with the ballad "Torn." Swollen-hearted teenagers joined hands with an older generation of romantics who cried at the end of Reality Bites in falling for Imbruglia's well-crafted innocence and urgent singing style. Her popularity exploded as the teen phenomenon was on the rise, but her work tends to hide a slightly smarter, sassier edge than her studio-born contemporaries, appealing more to the sensitive types than the Britney Spears fanatics.
