Yeah, I like Lukas because I'm thinking of how cool it would be if Coldplay recorded it.
If I didn't know about the chris thing I most likely would of hated it...

Natalie Imbruglia may quit singing after album flop

POP star Natalie Imbruglia says she may quit her singing career.

After her last album flopped, peaking at number 67 on the ARIA music charts, Imbruglia is taking time to re-evaluate life, saying you need the hide of a rhinoceros to work in the music industry, The Sunday Telegraph reported.

“I'm deciding how I feel. It's breathing space to figure out how I'll continue - or if I will continue. Oops! Did that slip out?'' said Imbruglia, who is now based in London. We will see. I've put everything on hold to do this show. I'll take time out to figure it out.''

Imbruglia's 1997 debut album Left of the Middle and subsequent singles sold more than 10 million copies and topped the Australian charts. She also had a worldwide hit with her debut single, Torn. But she has since struggled to mirror her early success. The 35-year-old star's career fell apart with the release of her latest album, Come To Life, last October. Though it featured tracks written by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, it failed to crack the top 50 and sold a meager 750 copies in its first week.

“I ended up going independent, getting finance and doing it my way,'' Imbruglia said. “It's really hard out there, there's not as much money in the industry. They don't want to pay for campaigns. There have definitely been frustrations trying to put records out and do it the way I want.''

Imbruglia, former star of TV soap opera Neighbors, will use her time as a mentor on the upcoming Australian version of TV talent show X Factor to plot a future path. “I'm loving doing the show, though. This is a dream job for me,'' she said.

Oh man.
It just wasn't promoted. The timing was wrong as well. She went on Rove when the album wasn't even out yet. The single hardly got any radio play.

Cobalt · 08-08-2010, 12:58 PM

Jeeeeeez, 750 copies ONLY in the first week? That's nasty.

footyfan10 · 08-08-2010, 08:23 PM

that's quite sad. and i'm just now listening to this lukas track...WHY DID COLDPLAY LET IT GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i mean, i find it hard to tell if it would have been that great, but i can tell it certainly would be better with them behind it

Rabbit · 08-08-2010, 11:00 PM

I didn't even know she had a new album out. It's no wonder it flopped, I haven't seen or heard any promotions about it. It seems that only the die-hard Imbruglia fans would have known about it.

EDIT: Although looking into this further, apparently UK release and promotion has been delayed so she might have more success with the album in the future.

I Don't even know any Die hard fans of Her

I Hopes Coldplay do Use Lukas, as Chris says that he regrets giving it away

Escapist99 · 09-08-2010, 06:22 AM

Lukas is very different lyrically than a lot of Coldplay songs, but it totally has that Viva La Vida sound, and I'd love to hear Chris sing it.

Destrokk · 09-08-2010, 08:48 AM

Never heard any song by her, I guess I should.
And I haven't listened to any of the songs above.

I should listen to those too.

Sucks about her tho

howyousawtheworld · 09-08-2010, 03:44 PM

I'm sorry but I've never called them this before but Coldplay are sheer 110% idiots for letting that song Lukas go. Natalie Imbruglia does a great job singing it though but lyrically it is fantastic and I feel would have been an instant classic not just for us Coldplay fans but for music listeners in general.

THANKS A LOT GUYS! The only way Coldplay will get to know this is if we relay tonnes of questions into the Oracle absolutely slating them for doing this!

AnnaElisabeth · 09-08-2010, 05:36 PM

Lukas is one of my favorite songs

I would love, love, love to hear Chris sing it.

Probably never gonna happen, though

busybeeburns · 09-08-2010, 05:39 PM

Coldplay should have signed a pre-nup stating that unless the album achieved at least silver RIAA certification, they retain the rights to re-use the song. This song is wasted on an album that has "Sold Wood!"

NumbersGirl · 09-08-2010, 06:36 PM

^ Yeah, I'm surprised that EMI didn't make them do something like that!
