Posted August 22, 200915 yr I thought this needed its own thread. Lead single from fourth studio album 'Come To Life', released on her own label but distributed via Universal. http://i31.tinypic.com/vy78me.jpg The song is so powerful and aggressive. I can't decide where it sits in my top Natalie moments - rather predictably Shiver and Torn are my top 2 and will remain so - but this is definitely vying for third place. I just can't get enough of her delivery whilst the hook is so simplistic. Released September 28th so still plenty of time for Radio 1 to help her on way to a hit. Album thread here.
August 23, 200915 yr I love it. I wasn't convinced when I heard she was changing her direction a bit, I had horrible visions of hotpants and Your Disco Needs You moments. But this is still quite the classy affair. I'm predicting top 20. No more though because the public has generally always seemed lukewarm to Natalie excepting Torn.
August 23, 200915 yr Author It's quite disgusting that Shiver, which is highly-regarded and was the #1 song on UK radio in 2005, only made #8. Every time I hear the opening chords I fall in love all over again. So much warmth and melancholy. Just an intensely brilliant song.
August 23, 200915 yr Shiver was excellent, I was gutted that it only made #8 :( the slightly surprising No.1 success for the Counting Down The Days album made up for it slightly though!
August 23, 200915 yr Shiver is probably my favourite from her :wub: followed by Glorious, still yet to hear the new track.
August 23, 200915 yr Lets not forget 'Smoke' :heart: I'm not sure about this new song yet, its growing on me though.
August 23, 200915 yr 'Big Mistake' is by FAR her best for me. I'm really loving 'Want' now though, hopefully it can go top 10 for her.
August 23, 200915 yr Sounds like it's Natalie TOP 10 time 01. Big Mistake 02. Goodbye 03. I Won't Be Lost 04. Wrong Impression 05. Shiver 06. Pigeons And Crumbs 07. Torn 08. Satisfied 09. Smoke 10. Come On Home Although I daresay Want could well break in soon.
August 23, 200915 yr Author I don't have White Lilies Island and it's been years since I've played Left Of The Middle so I'm not the best qualified to do a top 10 but I'll have a go anyway: 01 Shiver 02 Torn 03 Wrong Impression 04 Want 05 Glorious 06 Wishing I Was There 07 Be With You 08 Counting Down The Days 09 Sanctuary 10 Perfectly I know it seems premature to put 'Want' in there but that song SPEAKS TO ME.
August 23, 200915 yr Cant say im familar with any of Natalies albums despite owning 2 of them. A top 5 would be more appropriate me thinks 1 Shiver 2 Torn 3 Counting Down The Days 4 Wrong Impression 5 Wishing I Was There Not sure yet if Want can fit in there
August 23, 200915 yr Wasn't what I was expecting at all on first listen but then again dunno what I was expecting, hope it will grow on me.
August 24, 200915 yr I don't have White Lilies Island Jarky you're missing out; I'd say it's her best/most consistent effort. It's worth buying for Goodbye alone. Because she takes a lifetime to record an album? She's ALMOST as lazy as Kate Bush.
August 25, 200915 yr Torn, shiver and that day are my fave natalie singles, on saying that i have never disliked a single by her and im so looking forward to the new album.
September 10, 200915 yr Author The video is out! I can't embed so you'll have to click. I properly love it. It really held my attention considering it's just her. It isn't what I expected at all! I love the contrast between sensual Natalie and heartbroken Natalie.
