Album Review: Natalie Imbruglia - Male

StarHalf Star

"Imbruglia didn't give these songs the justice they deserved."

More Natalie Imbruglia Natalie Imbruglia Profile

Natalie Imbruglia has basically produced a fourth studio album of cover songs by male artists and gave them a female touch.

Instant Crush is missing the techno element Daft Punk brought to it while Friday I'm In Love isn't the same with added banjos and missing Robert Smith's iconic vocals. Her method has lost the magic of the originals. For example, I Will Follow You Into The Dark isn't as emotional and romantic as the Death Cab For Cutie original. She may have a beautiful, graceful voice and good intentions, but Imbruglia didn't give these songs the justice they deserved.
