Firebird

"Though the album's generous track list presents many different facets of Imbruglia's style, they - and Firebird as a whole - all feel genuine".

"On her first original album in a decade, Imbruglia melds whip-smart hooks and lyrics with a stylistic survey of pop and rock trends - to varying effect ... Still, it's hard to see Firebird as anything other than a victory for Imbruglia herself, who radiates gravitas and contentment throughout. "I'm aiming higher, older and wiser," she sings on On My Way, "This thrill could be real." It certainly feels like it".

"For those of us who still think of Imbruglia's debut, Left Of The Middle, as one of the most underrated albums of the '90s, Firebird serves as a decent reminder of what a good songwriter and strong singer she can be. And, at a time when artists from Lorde to Haim are namedropping her as a big influence, this could be an album that introduces her to a whole new audience".
