Natalie Imbruglia says suffering makes her more creative. Any artist would tell you the same I suppose. She promises a wonderful fifth album because the music will be coming from the hurt and sorrow that she is feeling while going through this divorce.
"After a break from songwriting, my life experiences have really helped me to be more creative. I think when it comes to creativity, I am more inspired by suffering than happiness."
Imbruglia wrote her 1998 debut, Left of the Middle, about a broken heart and it went on to be a major international success. Her two subsequent albums, made while she was happily married, have failed to emulate the success of her first record - debuting in the U.K. at number three and 12 respectively.
