6 Sep
Summary
- Singer walks in circles to find melodies for her music.
- New album 'Algorithm' features lyrics about deep emotional complexity.
- Perimenopause impacted Imbruglia's mental health and ADHD symptoms.
Singer Natalie Imbruglia employs a unique method for songwriting, often walking in circles to capture melodies. This constant motion was a significant part of creating her seventh album, 'Algorithm,' a collection inspired by artists like Talking Heads and Grace Jones. The album presents a dancefloor-ready sound that belies lyrics exploring profound emotional depth.
Imbruglia, 51, openly discusses the challenges of perimenopause, detailing how it caused her mental health to "unravel." She explains that hormonal fluctuations during this phase directly impact cognitive functions, leading to experiences like brain fog and spatial disorientation. This period also intensified her midlife-diagnosed ADHD, contributing to increased anxiety and a shorter temper.
