1975年2月4日出生在澳大利亚的悉尼，Natalie Imbruglia是一个“演而优则唱”的成功案例。17岁时因参演红极一时的肥皂剧“邻居（Neighbours）”而成名。然而Natalie认为她自己的兴趣是音乐而非电视剧，1996年毅然离开了家乡到英国的伦敦发展。事实证明她做了一个明智的选择。到了英国之后，Natalie便与一家唱片公司签约，1997年推出了她个人的首支单曲“Torn”。单曲由The Cure的贝司手Phil Thomalley操刀制作，一经推出就登上了排行榜的冠军宝座，在宝塔尖上傲视群雄长达14周之久,在英、美、澳洲等地的销量超过百万。于是，一位名不见经传的小歌手Natalie Imbruglia一夜之间红遍全球。
1998年Natalie Imbruglia推出了她的首张专辑Left Of The Middle ，在英美等地成绩不俗。为了证明自己不是仅有漂亮的外貌，Natalie于 2001年推出了她自己参与创作的第二张专辑White Lilies Island，其中的主打歌“That Day”是英国电台的热播曲。2005年她的专辑Counting Down The Days也已经新鲜出炉。
Natalie Imbruglia热爱音乐胜过表演。让人大跌眼镜的是她喜爱的乐队竟然是Portishead, Radiohead, The Cure等。事实上她的演唱风格也是在Phil Thomalley的帮助下确立的。她有时也被称为是主流版的Portishead 。
【Natalie Imbruglia-Torn】
I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know, don't seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's whats going on, nothing's fine I'm torn
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn
So I guess the fortune teller's right
Should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
To crawl beneath my veins and now
I don't care, I have no luck, I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things that I can't touch, I'm torn
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn. Torn.
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on, nothings right, I'm torn
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late, I'm already torn
