Natalie Imbruglia covers Daft Punk, Death Cab For Cutie and The Cure on new album

Singer’s new covers album Male also tackles Neil Young and Iron And Wine

Natalie Imbruglia is to release an album of cover versions, Male, on July 28.

Male includes versions of songs by male artists including Daft Punk, The Cure, Death Cab For Cutie, Neil Young and Iron And Wine.

The Daft Punk cover is of Instant Crush, their collaboration with The Strokes singer Julian Casablancas from 2013’s Random Access Memories album. Imbruglia told Stereogum of her version: “You can’t really hear what the song is about on the original version because of the effects on Julian’s voice, which I love. However, it’s such a beautiful story that I want people to hear and connect with the words. I’m really proud of how it’s turned out.”

Male is Imbruglia’s first album since Come To Life, whose British release was scrapped in 2010, despite featuring two songs co-written with Chris Martin. Imbruglia has since focused on acting, making her theatre debut in 2014 in Alan Ayckbourn’s play Things We Do For Love at Bath Theatre Royal.
