Description
In the first single from Come to Life, a spooky bass-beat electroballad called "Want," Imbruglia repeats the haunting refrain, "I hope you get all that you want" to great effect. She repeats the verse, then ends, "take a good look at what you give up." She croons like a ghost and the beat is like a haunted house.
Come to Life is dark, with more dance beats and electronic influences than any of her previous works. Imbruglia's versatile voice demands your attention when she pronounces syllables with as much snap as a drumbeat. Songs like "My God" hit ecstatic heights, while "Scars" is more familiar, introspective Imbruglia territory. "Lukas," left off from Coldplay's recording session for the album "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends," sees her sharing the musical stage more with the melodies rather than simply accentuating the beats, which is lovely.

Comments about PID Natalie Imbruglia - Come to Life:
A good album, which was heavily plugged on the back of the Coldplay(Chris Martin)/Brian Eno connection, but to be honest, these tracks are not the best one's on the album.
The biggest problem with it is the mess that Island Records/Sony made with the UK release - I assume most fans will have bought it on import rather then wait the 4 extra months until the UK release which is bound to effect the chart position when it does get a UK CD release.
